The strain Kluyveromyces marxianus was selected to isolate enzyme β-galactosidase, to hydrolyze
lactose in whey to prepare instant energy beverage. The cells were immobilized in 5.0% sodium alginate gel
for their subsequent use in hydrolysis of lactose in whey. The immobilized cell system was found beneficial
in reducing the cost of the product and increase reusability of enzyme. Various process parameters were
optimized. Maximum yield of the lactose hydrolysis i.e., 81.2% was found with microbial cells immobilized
in 10.0% CaCl2 solution with a bead size of 2.20 mm. The system was stable and beads could be reused up to
eighth cycle without any remarkable change in their ability to carry out lactose hydrolysis in whey.
Key words: Alginate gel, immobilization, instant energy drink, lactose hydrolysis, value added product, whey, yeast
