In recent year, besides conventional process comprising separated liquefaction, saccharification and fermentation steps, few ethanol distilleries in Vietnam started using Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation (SSF) for ethanol production. In this work, we developed an SSF process of rice mash at high solids for potable ethanol production at pilot scale of 30 liters. After investigation on liquefaction and boiling time of five SSF processes, we selected the most suitable one (SSF3) to apply to pilot scale. At pilot scale, rice flour (RF) was dissolved in water to reach 315.4 g/l dry matter, then the mixture was liquefied at 85 oC for 60 min by using an alpha-amylase (Liquozyme SC DS at 45.36 KNU-S/kg RF) and a beta-glucanase (Optimash TBG at 2.812 U/kg CF). The starch slurry was then boiled for 30 min. SSF of liquefied mash was performed at 30 oC with the simultaneous addition of a gluco-amylase (Spirizyme SC DS at 540 AGU/kg RF) and a protease (FermgenTM at 600 SAPU/kg RF), active dry yeast (Ethanol Red at 1.5×107cells/l), urea (12 mM) and KH2PO4 (4 mM). Under these conditions, SSF process finished after 120 h and achieved 16.7  % v/v ethanol, which was equivalent to 87.1  % of the theoretical yield. Therefore, the VHG fermentation of rice flour could be a great potential to be applied in potable ethanol industry in Vietnam.

The efficiency of ethanol production during simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of gelatinised starch or in its native form, in high-gravity rye mashes (approx. 21% and approx. 25% dry matter) prepared by pressureless methods of starch release were compared. The obtained fermentation efficiency expressed in % of the theoretical yield was 72.98 ± 1.46% for gelatinised starch and 84.27 ± 1.68% for native starch in the mashes with 21% dry matter, while the use of mashes with 25% dry matter content resulted in 71.22 ± 1.42% and 77.36 ± 1.54% of the theoretical yield, respectively. However, the presence of residual dextrins (1.99 ± 0.82 to 3.04 ± 0.39 g/100 ml) in the fermented mashes suggests the need of further research on the improvement of the process.

Most beverageethanol plants in Vietnam have been using the conventional process for ethanol production including liquefaction (95 – 105 oC) of a mash containing less than 200 g/l dry matter, saccharification (60 – 62 oC), fermentation (30 – 32 oC) and distillation. In this work, we developed a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process of rice mash at very high gravity (VHG) and investigated the impacts of liquefaction time and different enzymes on the ethanol yield of SSF-VHG process. Broken ricewas dissolved in tap water to reach 308 g/l dry matter, then the mixture was liquefied at 85 oC for either 60 minor 120 min by using alpha-amylases(Liquozyme and Spezyme Alpha), beta-glucanases(Optimash TBG and Viscozyme). SSF of liquefied mash was performed at 30 oC with the simultaneous addition of glucoamylases(Distillase ASP, Spirizyme and Amigase Mega L)with and without of protease (Fermgen),active dry yeast (Ethanol Red at 1.5 × 107 cells/ml), urea (12 mM) and KH2PO4(4 mM). Under these conditions, SSF-VHG processes finished after 96 h and achieved 15.4 - 16.5 % v/v ethanol, which were equivalent to corresponding to ethanol yield of 83.5 - 89.5 % of the theoretical yield.The increasing liquefaction time and the usage of Liquozyme, Viscozyme showed positive effects on the ethanol yield of the SSF-VHG process. Therefore, these preliminary results could be of importance to optimize the SSF-VHG process.

Simultaneous Saccharification

Separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF) is the common process in producing ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass. Nowadays, simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process has been seen as potential process for producing ethanol with shortens process time with higher yield of ethanol. Hence, in the current work, the utilization of empty fruit bunches (EFB) in SSF process was studied. In order to improve saccharification reactivity of EFB, hydrothermal pretreatment at 180 and 220 °C was used to pretreat EFB. The findings showed that SSF has the potential in producing ethanol from EFB.

This study aimed at evaluating the potential of pulp mill residue (PMR) as a feedstock for ethanol production. The simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process was operated using 8 gL -1 of a commercial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae JP1 under optimal proportions of cellulase cocktail (24.8 FPU/g cellulose of Cellic® CTec2) and cellulosic residue (200 gL -1 ). After 48 hours of pre-hydrolysis at 50ºC and 200 rpm, the fermentation was carried out at 37 ºC, generating 48.5 gL -1 of ethanol in 10 hours and reaching a conversion efficiency of 53.3% from cellulose to ethanol and a volumetric productivity of 4.8 gL -1 h -1 that is within the range of values of first generation ethanol production (5-8 gL -1 h -1 ). These results showed that the pulp mill residue is an interesting and effective feedstock for the production of ethanol, which can be used for fuel purposes in the own pulp mills.

Fuel ethanol production, using a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process (SSF) of native starch from corn flour, has been performed using Saccharomyces cerevisiae and a granular starch hydrolyzing enzyme. The quantitative effects of mash concentration, enzyme dose and pH were investigated with the use of a Box-Wilson central composite design protocol. Proceeding from results obtained in optimal fermentation conditions, a kinetics model relating the utilization rates of starch and glucose as well as the production rates of ethanol and biomass was tested. Moreover, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was applied to investigate corn starch granule surface after the SFF process. A maximum ethanol concentration of 110.36 g/l was obtained for native corn starch using a mash concentration of 25%, which resulted in ethanol yield of 85.71%. The optimal conditions for the above yield were found with an enzyme dose of 2.05 ml/kg and pH of 5.0. These results indicate that by using a central composite design, it is possible to determine optimal values of the fermentation parameters for maximum ethanol production. The investigated kinetics model can be used to describe SSF process conducted with granular starch hydrolyzing enzymes. The SEM micrographs reveal randomly distributed holes on the surface of granules.

Two samples of low-grade wheat flour, namely low-grade 1 (LG1) and low-grade 2 (LG2), with different carbohydrate and fibrous content, were used as substrates. The samples were liquefied using various concentrations of alpha- or beta-amylase, in order to optimize the production of fermentable sugars; the enzyme alpha-amylase revealed higher performance. After liquefaction, the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation was conducted in a jar fermentor. Amyloglucosidase was used for saccharification, and dry baker's yeast, S. cerevisiae, for fermentation simultaneously. Glucose was consumed promptly in both cases, LG1 and LG2; ethanol production was considerably higher in LG1 (38.6 g/L), compared to LG2 (24.9 g/L). The maximum ATP production was observed early in the SSF process. LG1 revealed higher potential as substrate for ethanol production.
