Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of alkali-pretreated corncob under optimized conditions using cold-tolerant indigenous holocellulase
E-mail:
The present investigation was aimed towards pretreatment optimization of corncob to maximize cellulose and hemicellulose recovery, followed by substrate selection for holocellulase production using psychrotolerant Aspergillus niger SH3. Dilute alkali pretreatment (1.5% NaOH) resulted in higher recovery of cellulose (59.66%) and hemicellulose (28.34%) from corncob, while corn stover proved to be the best substrate for holocellulase production. Further, saccharification was optimized by Box-Behnken design to select the suitable conditions for maximum sugar release from pretreated corncob. The optimum conditions for maximum sugar release were 8% (w/v) substrate loading, 11 FPU/gds enzyme loading at temperature 38 °C and pH 3.0 which resulted in 114.5% higher sugar yield (912mg/gds of pretreated biomass) as compared with un-optimized conditions (425.35mg/gds). Theoretical yield of 48.8% ethanol was achieved through simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) using pretreated corncob. This study illustrates the potential of different corn residues as a promising substrate for bioethanol production.
