The potential of two zygomycetes fungi, Mucor indicus and Rhizopus oryzae, in assimilating citrus waste free sugars (CWFS) producing fungal chitosan, oil, protein as well ethanol was investigated. Extraction from can reduce its environmental impact by decreasing the possibility wild microorganisms growth formation bad odors, a typical problem facing industries. A total sugar concentration 25.1 g/L obtained water extraction at room temperature, used for cultivation shake flasks airlift...
In a novel valorization approach for simultaneous pectin extraction and pretreatment (SPEP) of citrus waste (CW) by dilute nitric acid ethanol, almost all the CW was converted to bio-derived chemicals in single-step process at low/moderate temperature. The SPEP performed different temperatures (70 °C 80 °C), pH (1.8, 3.0, 4.3), times (2 h 3 h) with full factorial design. maximum yield 45.5% obtained 1.8, °C, 2 h. yields 1.8 were much higher than 4.3 3. Also, degree methyl-esterification 50%,...
Abstract BACKGROUND Mucor indicus is a dimorphic fungus capable of producing ethanol, with numerous advantages compared Saccharomyces cerevisiae . RESULTS Cellulose solvent‐ and organic solvent‐based lignocellulosic fractionation ( COSLIF ) enhanced the enzymatic hydrolysis yield especially initial rate. Effects fungal morphology on major metabolites, i.e., ethanol biomass ingredients (fatty acids chitosan) were investigated. Purely yeast‐like form yielded 78–92% maximum theoretical...
Efficient release of fermentable sugars from the complex biomass structure such as second-generation or third-generation feedstocks by an appropriate enzymatic hydrolysis needs a prior fractionation. This process facilitates exposure more cellulose and hemicelluloses for hydrolysis. review focused on 'green fractionation' applying principles green chemistry bioethanol production. Besides, recent technological achievements in these fractionation have been discussed. For fractionation, energy...
The cost associated with raw materials for biodiesel production is the most determinant factor in final price and therefore non-edible, easily available, inexpensive feedstocks are envisaged. Pistacia atlantica mutica (PAM) oil-rich abundantly available biomass Iran's jungles that can be considered as a promising energy crop production. Its seeds contained 30% of high quality oil. fatty acid profile PAM oil rich 16–18 carbon chains, close to those petrol-diesel effects ultrasound-assisted...
Hydrothermal pretreatment at different solid loading was performed on biogenic municipal waste (BMSW), and the effects of enzymatic hydrolysis ethanol production were compared. The 160 °C for 30 min solid/liquid ratio (w/w) 1:10, 1:7, 1:5, liquid fraction simultaneously hydrolyzed fermented to without detoxification sterilization. Solubilization starch partial solubilization hemicelluloses occurred during hydrothermal pretreatment; while, glucan fractions mostly remained in part....
