Abstract
The paper describes the development and application of a new method in phytoestrogen analysis using sol-gel cellulase columns for sample preparation. Enzyme columns were produced by entrapping commercially available cellulase by slightly modifying a simple sol-gel procedure previously optimised for immobilising antibodies. Quantitative hydrolysis of both lignan and isoflavone glycosides was achieved within 5 min. Immobilisation of the enzyme enabled the elimination of enzyme-born impurities prior to analysis. Sol-gel cellulase columns could be used for at least 15 cleavage cycles over the investigated period of two months. Œ 2005 Springer Science + Business Media, Inc.
