Candida rugosa lipase (LCR) was immobilized on low-cost supports (by-products) and dried using a spouted-bed system. The yields of immobilized derivatives were in the range 61.5–78.7%. Lipase immobilized on rice husk showed the best results, presenting 94.1% of the original activity, followed by sugarcane bagasse (90.3%) and green coconut fiber (87.3%). Moisture content in the obtained powders varied between 4.7 and 5.6% and the water activities were in the range 0.21–0.35. Among all the tested biocatalysts for aroma production the lipase immobilized on rice husk showed the highest activity towards the formation of isoamyl caprylate (62.40 g.L-1). Keywords: Spouted bed dryer; Enzyme dehydration; Enzyme immobilization; Enzyme stabilization; Aroma production.

Abstract The cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) are one of the technologies that quickly immobilize the enzyme without a carrier. This carrier-free immobilization method has the advantages of simple operation, high reusability and low cost. In this study, ionic liquid with amino group (1-aminopropyl-3-methylimidazole bromide,IL) was used as the novel functional surface molecule to modify industrialized lipase (Candida rugosa lipase, CRL). The enzymatic properties of the prepared CRL-FIL-CLEAs were investigated. The activity of CRL-FIL-CLEAs (5.51 U/mg protein) was 1.9 times higher than that of CRL-CLEAs without surface modification (2.86 U/mg protein). After incubation at 60℃ for 50 min, CRL-FIL-CLEAs still maintained 61% of its initial activity, while the value for CRL-CLEAs was only 22%. After repeated use for five times, compared with the 22% residual activity of CRL-CLEAs, the value of CRL-FIL-CLEAs was 51%. Further kinetic analysis indicated that the Km values for CRL-FIL-CLEAs and CRL-CLEAs were 4.80 mM and 8.06 mM, respectively, which was inferred that the affinity to substrate was increased after modification. Based on the above results, it was indicated that this method provided a new idea for the effective synthesis of immobilized enzyme.

Low cost industrial and agricultural by-products are promising materials for water pollution treatment such as removal of heavy metals. This work deals with removal of silver ions from solutions using expanded rice husk (ERH), nature diatomite (ND) and nature bentonite (NB). Firstly the influence of pH value of the solution on adsorption capacity for silver ions was studied, and then the effect of initial silver concentration on adsorbents adsorption capacity was investigated. The silver ions removal percentage increases with initial pH and achieves a maximum value of nearly 94% at pH= 5.0 ± 0.5 for ERH. The maximum adsorption capacity is 18.6 mg/g for ERH.

Abstract In the present work, Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) was immobilized by physical adsorption in organic medium on Accurel MP 1000 (AMP) with a protein load of 6.5 mg g-1 (mg protein/g support). CRL-AMP was applied with 5 and 10% of catalyst/volume of medium (m v-1) in esterification reactions of stearic acid with lauryl and cetyl alcohols producing the wax esters such as dodecanoyl octadecanoate 1 and hexadecanoyl octadecanoate 2 in a heptane medium. Six reaction cycles were studied to evaluate the stability and recyclability of the prepared biocatalyst. The specific activity (Asp) for CRL-AMP was 200 ± 20 U mg-1. Its catalytic activity was 1300 ± 100 U g-1. CRL-AMP was used in the synthesis of esters in heptane medium with a 1:1 acid:alcohol molar ratio at 45°C and 200 rpm. In synthesis 1, conversion was 62.5 ± 3.9% in 30 min at 10% m v-1 and 56.9 ± 2.8% in 54 min at 5% m v-1, while in synthesis 2, conversion was 79.0 ± 3.9% in 24 min at 10% m v-1, and 46.0 ± 2.4% in 54 min at 5% m v-1. Reuse tests after 6 consecutive cycles of reaction showed that the biocatalyst retained approximately 50% of its original activity for both reaction systems. CRL-AMP showed a high potential in the production of wax esters, since it started from low enzymatic load and high specific activities and conversions were obtained, in addition to allowing an increase in stability and recyclability of the prepared biocatalyst.

The expansion of agricultural land and commercial food industries to meet rising global demands have imparted new challenges to the environment and human activities. Poor management of the generated waste by-products perpetually contributes to increased ecological burden. This study proposed the use of chemically-functionalized activated carbon sourced from Zea mays L. husk leave (FZHLAC) as support for the covalent immobilization of Candida rugosa lipase (CRL). This work aims to establish the protocol of preparing functionally satisfactory FZHLAC immobilized CRL (CRL-FZHLAC) and to assess its efficacy in hydrolyzing olive oil as the model reaction. Results of FT-IR spectroscopy, SEM, TGA, X-ray diffraction and BET confirmed that CRL-FZHLAC was successfully prepared with an enzyme loading of 13% (v/v). Maximum activity for hydrolysis (71.24 µmol/min/g) was achieved under an optimized condition of 50 °C, 200 rpm at pH 8 with reusability up to 5 cycles. Hydrolysis at 70 °C best fitted the first order reaction while the activation energies varies from 55.37 to -41.22 kJ/mol. The findings showed that CRL-FZHLAC is prospectively useful as biocatalysts to carry out a variety of aqueous-based biotransformation reactions

Fruits and vegetables are foods that come into contact with various types of microorganisms from planting to their consumption. A lack or poor sanitation of these products after harvest can cause high losses due to deterioration and/ or pathogenic microorganisms. There are practically no post-harvest fungicides or bactericides with a broad spectrum of action that have no toxic residual effects and are safe. However, to minimize such problems, the use of sanitizers is an efficient device against these microorganisms. Chlorine is the most prevalent sanitizing agent because of its broad spectrum, low cost and well-established practices. However, the inevitable formation of disinfection by-products, such as trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs), is considered one of the main threats to food safety. Alternative sanitizers, such as chlorine dioxide (ClO2) and ozone, are becoming popular as a substitute for traditional post-harvest treatments. Thus, this review addresses the use of chlorine, chlorine dioxide and ozone emphasizing aspects, such as usage, safe application, spectrum of action and legislation. In order to ensure the quality and safety of final products, the adoption of well-prepared sanitation and sanitation programs for post-harvest fruits and vegetables is essential.

In recent years, the circular economy and sustainability have gained attention in the food industry aimed at recycling food industrial waste and residues. For example, several plant-based materials are nowadays used in packaging and biofuel production. Among them, by-products and waste from coffee processing constitute a largely available, low cost, good quality resource. Coffee production includes many steps, in which by-products are generated including coffee pulp, coffee husks, silver skin and spent coffee. This review aims to analyze the reasons why coffee waste can be considered as a valuable source in recycling strategies for the sustainable production of bio-based chemicals, materials and fuels. It addresses the most recent advances in monomer, polymer and plastic filler productions and applications based on the development of viable biorefinery technologies. The exploration of strategies to unlock the potential of this biomass for fuel productions is also revised. Coffee by-products valorization is a clear example of waste biorefinery. Future applications in areas such as biomedicine, food packaging and material technology should be taken into consideration. However, further efforts in techno-economic analysis and the assessment of the feasibility of valorization processes on an industrial scale are needed.

This work aimed to produce bionanocomposites of chitosan incorporated with zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) synthesized using food industry by-products and to characterize them. Such nanoparticles are highlighted due to their low cost, antimicrobial activity, accessibility, and sustainability synthesis. Four different levels of ZnO NPs (0, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0% w/w of chitosan) were tested, and the bionanocomposites were characterized in terms of their hydrophobicity, mechanical, optical, and barrier properties. Overall, the incorporation of ZnO NPs changed the composites from brittle to ductile, with enhanced elongation at break and reduced Young Modulus and tensile strength. Thus, ZnO NPs acted as plasticizer, turning the films more flexible, due to the presence of organic compounds on the NPs. This also favored permeability of oxygen and of water vapor, but the good barrier properties were maintained. Optical properties did not change statistically with the ZnO NPs incorporation. Thus, the characterization presented in this paper may contribute to support a decision on the choice of the material’s final application.
