    Optimización de la hidrolisis enzimática de la cascarilla de arroz
    (2019-11-04) Arismendy, Ana María; Villa Retrepo, Andrés Felipe; Alcaraz, Wilman; Chamorro, Ester; Area, María Cristina
    El objetivo de este trabajo fue encontrar las condiciones óptimas de hidrólisis enzimática de la cascarilla de arroz pretratada con hidróxido de sodio en autoclave a 121° C. Se evaluaron las variables: FPU/ g sustrato, pH, agitación, tiempo, temperatura y concentración de surfactante mediante un diseño de cribado, resultando estadísticamente significativas todas las variables. Seguidamente se aplicó un diseño de optimización para las variables: pH, FPU y tiempo, descartando las de menor nivel de significación. Finalmente, las mejores condiciones encontradas en los diseños anteriores fueron (pH 5.0, 13 h, y 30 FPU / g de sustrato) posteriormente se aplicaron estas condiciones en experiencias para evaluar la influencia del aumento de celulosa hidrolizable, usando 6%; 8% y 10% de celulosa disponible con rendimientos de sacarificación de 74%, 42% y 16%.

    Evaluación de cepas fermentativas en la hidrólisis y fermentación simultáneas (SSF) de cascarilla de arroz para la producción de bioetanol
    (2017-03-15) Arismendy, Ana María; Sequeira, Mariano J.; Felissia, Fernando E.; Area, Maria C.; Chamorro, Ester
    La disminución en las reservas de petróleo a nivel mundial y los problemas medioambientales ocasionados por su utilización, propician la búsqueda de nuevas alternativas renovables y menos contaminantes. En este trabajo se estudió el comportamiento de enzimas celulasas y celobiosas, junto con cepas de Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida kefyr, Candida tropicalis y Candida guilliermondii en el proceso de hidrólisis y fermentación simultánea (SSF) conducido a 35°C para la producción de bioetanol, a partir de los carbohidratos presentes en cascarilla de arroz. Este proceso busca hidrolizar la celulosa y aprovechar de inmediato los azúcares fermentables, atravesando la dificultad de la diferencia entre la temperatura óptima para el desempeño de enzimas (50°C) y la de levaduras (25°C a 35°C). La cascarilla fue pretratada con una secuencia ácido-alcalina para la separación de los carbohidratos. Los mayores % de bioetanol se obtuvieron con Saccharomyces cerevisiae (68%) y Candida kefyr (75%).

    Preliminary tests of production of cellulosic bioethanol for testing simultaneous hydrolysis and fermentation
    (2015-11-23) Arismendy, Ana María; Felissia, Fernando; Area, María; Chamorro, Ester
    It is necessary to find valid renewable sources that do not compete with food production at affordable costs and alternatives, to help alleviate the exhaustion of fossil fuels. Cellulosic biomass can be chemically or enzymatically hydrolyzed and then the sugars obtained fermented with yeasts to produce ethanol. The possibility of hydrolysis and fermentation simultaneous presents the advantage like, prevents inhibition of enzymes, reduces the risk of pollution and decreases production costs. The drawback is that the optimum temperature for the enzyme treatment is about 50°C, while the corresponding fermentation is close to 32°C Rice husks, lignocellulosic waste of rice production, are abundant in the Argentina NEA region and an excellent raw material for the bioethanol production because it has a high cellulose content. In order to realize in the future enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation in one step with rice husks, it have been performed preliminary tests of enzymatic hydrolysis on Whatman filter paper N°1 at temperatures below the optimum (32°C), and subsequent fermentation with four different yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida tropycalis, Candida guilliermondii and Candida kefir, at the same temperature. The selection of yeast was performed according to specific criteria. Candida kefir can bear temperatures up to 37°C, which was taken like feasible alternative for realizing of simultaneous process in the future at high temperatures. The Candida and Saccharomyces work at 32°C, but also have affinity for 5-carbon sugars such as xylose, which are present in small amounts if the material has been pretreated with acid to remove hemicellulose. The filter paper characterization was determinated through amount of moisture, and ash and then was realized the hydrolysis during 72 hours at 32ºC on a rotary shaker, using enzymes, like celullases of Trichoderma reseei and celobiasses of Aspergillus níger. The subsequent fermentation was performed in the supernatant of the hydrolysis, supplemented with nutrients and the four yeasts listed above for 24 hours at 32 ° C, with the same stirring used. The amount of glucose obtained in the hydrolysis was determinate by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with refractive index (IR) detector. In the hydrolysis at 32°C the cellulose conversion to glucose was 81%. The results of ethanol generated by the fermentation were determinated by HPLC and the percentaje of ethanol obtained of each fermentation with each yeast were of 66.22% for Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida kéfyr 50.15%, Candida guilliermondii 45% and Candida tropycalis 61.47%. The results show that all yeasts generated ethanol, even when the fermentation time was only 24 hours. In the hydrolysis at 32°C were obtained encouraging results, as in fermentation for 24 hours at the same temperature. Based on these results was realized the simultaneous processing with rice hulks to 48 hours with temperatures between 35 and 37°C.
