N2 - This paper reports the synthesis of magnetic lipase/Cu3(PO4)2 hybrid nanoflowers via a rapid ultrasonication method. The enzyme immobilization and nanoflower growth mechanism can be described as the (a) Fe2+, Cu2+, and phosphate “binding”, (b) metal phosphate crystals formation, (c) formation and growth of metal phosphate crystals to form plate-like structures, and (d) self-assembly of plate structures that forms a flower-like structure. Some factors contributing to the morphology of the hybrid nanoflowers structure includes the time and concentration of lipase were studied. The effect of temperature, pH, and duration on the enzyme immobilization yield were also studied. In addition, the strong magnetic property (9.73 emu g−1) of the nanoflowers resulted in higher retrievability and reusability after repeated usage. Furthermore, the catalytic activity of lipase/Cu3(PO4)2 hybrid nanoflowers was investigated and the ideal conditions were determined whereby, the maximum activity was calculated to be 1511 ± 44 U g−1, showing a catalytic enhancement of 89% in comparison to free lipase. The reusability study showed that, after 5 cycles, the magnetic lipase/Cu3(PO4)2 nanoflowers successfully retained 60% of its initial activity. From the results obtained, it is worth noting that, the magnetic lipase/Cu3(PO4)2 hybrid nanoflowers are highly efficient in industrial biocatalytic applications.
