Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Fructofuranosidase (EC 3.2.1.26) from Aureobasidium sp. ATCC 20524, recovered from 5L fermented medium, purified by two simple steps with a yield of 65 and a purification factor of 16, was immobilized by adsorption onto titanium dioxide (FTIO). The enzyme was also covalently immobilized onto TiO coated with polyethyleneimine (FTIOP) and encapsulated in gellan gum (FTIOPG). FTIO and FTIOP recorded an activity of 903 U g and 9212 U g , respectively. The immobilized enzyme showed high activity and stability at pH levels ranging from 4.0 to 8.0 and there were no changes in the temperature profile for either methodology when compared with free fructofuranosidase. The immobilized biocatalysts were reused 7 times for FOS production without significant activity loss, except FTIO at pH 5.0. Gellan gum was used for FTIOP encapsulation. FOS production was performed in a batch and a continuous reactor using FTIOPG as a biocatalyst. Batch conversion (g /g ) was around 60 for initial sucrose concentrations of 100, 300 and 600g L , at a time of maximum conversion. Fixed-bed reactor operational stability was remarkable, providing a constant FOS production in the outlet of the column during 720h.
