The hydrolysis of cellulose into platform compounds and chemicals fuels has gained much attention to relieve the global energy crisis and environmental pollution. The filter paper (FP) cellulose with average degree of polymerization (DP) of 1000-1300 was dissolved in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM]Cl) firstly. And then acidic ionic liquids (ILs), ([(CH2)3SO3HVIm]HSO4) as the catalyst was applied to hydrolyze the FP cellulose by microwave heating. Compared with the oil bath heating method, microwave heating could effectively increase the total reducing sugars (TRS) yield about 10.7%. When the ratio of ILs catalyst to FP (w/w) was 0.167, and the ratio of deionized water to FP (w/w) was 0.833, the TRS yield was up to 60.8% within 20 min at 100°C.

In the present paper, parametric optimization studies were performed to determine the most influential range of process parameters for maximum ethanol production from Pichia stipitis NCIM3499 by one-at-a-time method under submerged fermentation conditions. Various parameters, such as agitation, pH of medium, temperature and different carbon sources, etc., were taken into consideration. The optimum values of these process parameters were as follows: agitation (200 rpm), pH (5.5), temperature (30°C), and semi-aerobic conditions (150 ml fermentation media in 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask). Among the different carbon substrates tested, glucose and xylose (20±0.21 g/l) showed same ethanol production (8.8±0.35 g/l) with a yield of 0.44±0.11g/g sugar utilized. These process parameters were applied for the ethanol production from de-oiled rice bran (DORB), the left over residue after extraction of oil. It was thermochemically saccharified using sulfuric acid (0.5-5.5% v/v) at 120°C for a fixed residence time of 1h. A maximum of 38.50±0.45 g/l total reducing sugars was obtained at 3.5% v/v H2SO4. This sugar syrup was detoxified by overliming with calcium hydroxide and subsequently fermented with P. stipitis NCIM3499 under the optimized conditions. After 72 h of incubation, DORB hydrolysate (33.50±0.44g/l total reducing sugars) showed maximum ethanol production (12.47±0.26g/l) with the yield 0.42±0.021g/g and fermentation efficiency of 81.74±0.55%. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on ethanol production from de-oiled rice bran using P. stipitis NCIM3499.

In this study, we isolated and identified a thermophilic strain of Aspergillus fumigatus from the “Daqu” samples. Transcriptomic analysis of A. fumigatus identified 239 carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZy)-encoding genes, including 167 glycoside hydrolase (GH)-encoding genes, 58 glycosyltransferase (GT)-encoding genes, 2 polysaccharide lyase (PLs)-encoding genes and 12 carbohydrate esterase (CEs)-encoding genes, which indicates that the strain has a strong potential for application for enzyme production. Furthermore, we also identified a novel endoglucanase gene (AfCel5A), which was expressed in Pichia pastoris and characterized. The novel endoglucanase AfCel5A exhibited the highest hydrolytic activity against CMC-Na and the optimal activity at 80 °C and pH 4.0 and also showed good stability at pH 3.0–11.0 and below 70 °C. The Km and Vmax values of AfCel5 were 0.16 ± 0.05 mg·mL−1 and 7.23 ± 0.33 mol mg−1·min−1, respectively, using CMC-Na as a substrate. Further, the endoglucanase exhibited a high tolerance toward NaCl as well as glucose. In addition, the finding that the endoglucanase AfCel5A in combination with β-mannanse (ManBK) clearly increased the release of total reducing sugars of glucomannan by up to 74% is significant.

Various methods of pretreatments were investigated to their effect on cellulose to glucose conversion efficiency on enzymatic hydrolysis of a tropical agro-industrial waste residue (empty palm fruit bunch, EFB). Four different kinds of combinative pretreatments (autohydrolysis with and without naphthol, dilute acid prehydrolysis, soda prehydrolysis and enzymatic prehydrolysis) were tested for delignification during the first and the second steps of pretreatment. Each prehydrolysis step was seconded by the organosolv delignification with the same conditions of pretreatment. It was observed that all the combinative methods were far more efficient in delignification and enzymatic hydrolysis ability as compared to its one step counter parts. The combinative pretreatment method involving dilute acid prehydrolysis followed by organosolv delignification revealed the best result with respect to lignin removal and enzymatic hydrolysis. The resultant pulp contained very low Klason lignin (~5%) with high sugar conversion ratio (64% total reducing sugars). DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jfstn.v7i0.10613   J. Food Sci. Technol.
