Abstract Invertase from Aspergillus niger C28B25 was produced by solid-state fermentation (SSF), and fermented solids were used directly as a biocatalyst for batch and continuous hydrolysis of sucrose in a packed-bed reactor under different operational conditions with varied temperature, sucrose concentration and feed flow rate. The SSF allowed obtaining a biocatalyst with an invertase activity of 82.2 U/g db. The biocatalyst maintained its activity in the range of 40 to 70ºC for at least 70 h of continuous operation. The highest hydrolysis rate (12.3 mg/U h) was obtained at 70ºC with 2M sucrose under batch conditions. Continuous hydrolysis in 20-mL and 200-mL bioreactors at 60ºC led to sucrose hydrolysis above 60% (8.5 residence times) and above 55% (4.5 residence times), respectively. The auto-immobilised biocatalyst produced by SSF without recovery, purification and immobilisation stages offers an economical alternative for the development of accessible biocatalysts that can be applied in batch or continuous sucrose hydrolysis processes. This study shows the potential of biocatalyst production by SSF for other enzymatic systems.

Valorization of banana peel (BP) through solid state fermentation (SSF) was aimed<br /> in this research. The appropriate conditions of citric acid (CA) production by SSF of<br /> Aspergillus niger were investigated. Firstly, the optimum initial pH of the BP and the<br /> aeration rate were studied by conducting SSF in a 250-mL flask and 2-L glass column,<br /> respectively. It was found that the initial pH of the BP and aeration rates affected the CA<br /> production. The results showed that the initial pH of 5.0 and 1.0 vvm aeration were appropriate for the CA production of A. niger using BP as a substrate. The problem of rising temperature during SSF was found when applying the optimum condition to the SSF<br /> in the 20-L packed bed bioreactor (PBB), which caused a decrease in the CA production<br /> compared to that of the glass column. The cooling air jacket constructed to the PBB to<br /> remove the heat during the SSF helped increase the CA production from that in the PBB.<br /> The maximum CA production in the 20-L air-jacketed PBB was 124.0±19.2 mg g–1DS.
