Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) configuration offers efficient use of the reactor. In this configuration, both hydrolysis and fermentation processes are conducted simultaneously in a single bioreactor, and the overall processes may be accelerated. However, problems may arise if both processes have different optimum conditions, and therefore process optimization is required. This paper presents a mathematical model over SSF strategy implementation for producing xylitol from the hemicellulose component of lignocellulosic materials. The model comprises the hydrolysis of hemicellulose and the fermentation of hydrolysate into xylitol. The model was simulated for various process temperatures, prior hydrolysis time, and inoculum concentration. Simulation of the developed kinetics model shows that the optimum SSF temperature is 36 °C, whereas conducting prior hydrolysis at its optimum hydrolysis temperature will further shorten the processing time and increase the xylitol productivity. On the other hand, increasing the inoculum size will shorten the processing time further. For an initial xylan concentration of 100 g/L, the best condition is obtained by performing 21-hour prior hydrolysis at 60 °C, followed by SSF at 36 °C by adding 2.0 g/L inoculum, giving 46.27 g/L xylitol within 77 hours of total processing time.

Cocoa waste (CW) is an inexpensive agro-industrial by-product that is available in large quantities in tropical countries such as Malaysia. The rate of ethanol production can be affected by different parameters involved during fermentation. In this study, response surface methodology (RSM) with the full factorial design was used to obtain optimum conditions for bioethanol production using CW as the substrate. The simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) performed with an isolated microorganism from locally fermented food tapai ubi and tapai pulut. The effect of four independent variables temperature, CW concentration, inoculum size, and pH was investigated. In the optimized condition temperature of 31.7°C, pH 6.0, inoculum size 10.5%, and CW concentration 0.3 g/L, the highest ethanol production was 9.5 ± 1.1. ANOVA analysis revealed that temperature and CW concentration had the most significant effects on ethanol production. In addition, ethanol production was increased in the highest level of pH and inoculum size. Therefore it can be concluded that ethanol production increased from 6.2 ± 0.8 g/L to 9.5 ± 1.1 g/L after optimization.

The yield of proteolylic hydrolysis for spent brewer’s yeast by protease and aminoacid contents of hydrolysates (the main  factors influencing in taste of hydrolysed product) depends on factors influencing in catalytic activities of enzymes as temperature, pH value, type of used  enzymes and ratio enzyme/substrate. With the purpose to hydrolyse the spent brewer’s yeast for food application, bitterness of hydrolysate takes the firth consideration, and than the yield of hydrolysing process plays economic role. In this paper, it is dealt with determination of optimal conditions to obtain the highest yield of hydrolysis process and the lowest bitterness of hydrolysate (the bitterness is determined by sensory evaluation, expressed equivalently with concentration of quinine). Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to determine optimum condition for batch proteolytic hydrolysis of spent brewer’s yeast. The influencing factors were investigated as temperature (X1): 40 oC–60 oC; pH (X2): 6.0–9.0, ratio E (flavourzyme)/S (X3): 5–10 U/g and hydrolysis time (X4): 6–9 hours. The experimental responses including degree of hydrolysis (Y1) (%) and bitterness of hydrolysate (Y2) (μmol quinine/ml) are performed in second-degree model. The optimal conditions for obtaining high degree of hydrolysis and low bitterness are determined: Ratio of enzyme mixture (alcalase 7.5 U/g and flavourzyme 8.5 U/g), pH 7.5, hydrolysis temperature at 52oC and hydrolysis time 9 hours. Under the optimal conditions, the actual values obtained for the yield of hydrolysis was 40.81  ± 0.044 % and the bitterness equivalently with concentration of quinine was 16.37 ± 0.03 μmol quinine/ml.

S. platensis is a microalga that contains carbohydrate composition of 30.21% which makes it potential to be used as raw material for ethanol production. Hydrolysis of S. platensis is the first step for converting its carbohydrates into monosaccharides. The second step is fermentation of monosaccharides into ethanol. This research aims to study the effect of temperature and microalgae concentration on the hydrolysis of S. platensis using sulfuric acid as catalyst. This research was conducted using 300 mL sulfuric acid of 2 mol/L, hydrolysis temperatures of 70, 80 and 90 °C, and microalgae concentrations of 20, 26.7, and 33.3 g/L. The effect of temperature is significant in the hydrolysis of S. platensis using sulfuric acid. At microalgae concentration of 20 g/L and hydrolysis time of 35 minutes, the higher the temperatures (70, 80, and 90 °C), the more the glucose yields would be (8.9, 13.5, and 22.9%). This temperature effect got stronger when the hydrolysis was running for 15 minutes. Every time the hydrolysis temperature increased by 10 °C, the glucose yield increased by 13.0% at microalgae concentration of 33.3 g/L. At temperature of 90 °C and time of 35 minutes, the higher the microalgae concentrations (20, 26.7, and 33.3 g/L), the higher the glucose yields would be (25.5, 27.7, and 28.2%). The highest glucose concentration obtained was 2.82 g/L at microalgae concentration of 33.3 g/L, temperature of 90 °C, and time of 35 minutes.

This study was aimed to optimise the Alcalase® enzymatic hydrolysis extraction of Asiatic hard clam (AHC) (Meretrix meretrix) protein hydrolysate in terms of hydrolysis time, hydrolysis temperature, hydrolysis pH, and concentration of enzyme. Protein hydrolysate produced from AHC (M. meretrix) meat was used to determine the optimum hydrolysis conditions. Hydrolysis of AHC meat was optimised using the Central Composite Design Response Surface Methodology (RSM) (CCD). The relationship between four parameters such as temperature (45 – 65°C), enzyme to substrate concentration (1 – 2%), hydrolysis time (60 – 180 mins), and pH (7.5 – 9.5) to the degree of hydrolysis was investigated. The optimum conditions for enzymatic hydrolysis of AHC meat to achieve the maximum degree of hydrolysis (DH) were observed at 65°C, enzyme to substrate concentration of 1%, hydrolysis time of 60 mins, and pH 7.5. The enzymatic protein hydrolysis of AHC meat was predicted using a two factors interaction (2FI) model. Under these optimum conditions, DH's predicted value was 97.41%, which was close to the experimental value (97.89%). The freeze-dried protein hydrolysate powder was characterized concerning the proximate composition. Proximate analysis revealed that the AHC meat contains 7.92±1.76% of moisture, 2.23±0.89% of crude fat, 1.98±0.82 of ash, and 10.53±0.04% of crude protein. While the Asiatic hard clam protein hydrolysate (AHCPH) composed 9.12±0.02% of moisture, 0.80±0.29% of crude fat, and 27.76±0.10% of ash. The protein hydrolysate produced also contained high protein content (50.09±0.88%) and may serve as a good protein source.

Abstract In this study, peptides were prepared from defatted Antheraea pernyi (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) pupa protein via hydrolysis with combined neutral proteases. Single-factor tests and response surface methodology (RSM) were used to determine the optimal hydrolysis condition suitable for industrial application. Optimal hydrolysis of the defatted pupa protein was found to occur at an enzyme concentration of 4.85 g/liter, a substrate concentration of 41 g/liter, a hydrolysis temperature of 55°C, and a hydrolysis time of 10 h and 40 min. Under these conditions, the predicted and actual rates of hydrolysis were 45.82% and 45.75%, respectively. Peptides with a molecular weight of less than 2,000 Da accounted for 90.5% of the total peptides generated. Some of the peptides were antioxidant peptides as revealed by sequencing and functional analysis. The antioxidant activity of the mixed peptides was subsequently confirmed by an antioxidant activity assay. The results showed that peptides with high antioxidant activity could be obtained from the hydrolysis of A. pernyi pupa protein.

This study investigated the potential use of alkali pretreatment of sawdust from Australian timber mills to produce bioethanol. Sawdust was treated using 3–10% w/w NaOH at temperatures of 60, 121, and −20°C. Two pathways of production were trialled to see the impact on the bioethanol potential, enzymatic hydrolysis for glucose production, and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) for ethanol production. The maximum yields obtained were at 121°C and −20°C using 7% NaOH, with 29.3% and 30.6% ethanol yields after 0.5 and 24 hr, respectively, these treatments yielded 233% and 137% increase from the 60°C counter parts. A notable trend of increased ethanol yields with increased NaOH concentration was observed for samples treated at 60°C; for example, samples treated using 10% NaOH produced 1.92–2.07 times more than those treated using 3% NaOH. FTIR analysis showed reduction in crystallinity correlating with increased ethanol yields with the largest reduction in crystallinity in the sample treated at −20°C for 24 hr with 7% NaOH.

Alkali hydrolysis was used as a method of decomposing hemicellulose in corn stalk in this paper. The effects of NaOH concentration, hydrolysis time and hydrolysis temperature in the pretreatment on the degradation of hemicellulose in corn stalk were investigated. In addition, the yields of reducing-sugar and alkali hydrolysis corn stalk were discussed. The experimental results showed that the process of alkali hydrolysis had positive effect on the removal of hemicellulose in corn stalk and the whole process almost finished in 3h. The maximum reducing-sugar yield was 7.2% by the pretreatment with 20% NaOH for 6 h at 90°C, and 6.6% under the condition of 15% NaOH for 3h at 90°C, which was slightly lower than the maximum reducing-sugar yield, but the alkali charge and hydrolysis time dramatically reduced. So it was clarified that the best pretreatment condition was 15% NaOH for 3h at 90°C, and also this method is easy to applied in the alkaline pulping process.
