Waste materials utilization for preparing hydrolysates for the fermentation phase.
Vadovičová, Natália ; Hrstka, Miroslav (referee) ; Babák, Libor (advisor)
Bachelor thesis focuses on the study and comparison of different types of hydrolysis, their optimization and maximization of yields for the upcoming fermentation. Orange peel was chosen as a substrate to conduct the experiments. First, the substrate was mechanically grinded to form a suspension. Each suspension then underwent one out of the examined methods of hydrolysis. Chosen methods were physical, such as microwaves, increased temperature or ultrasound, and chemical acidic and alkaline. Combinations of both types were also examined. The last optimized method was enzymatic hydrolysis. First set of experiments was conducted using enzymes Novozymes® NS50013 and NS50010. Production of cellulase and pectinase enzymes by A. niger during solid-state fermentation that lasted 10 days was also studied. The yields of reducing sugars of all the experiments were calculated using the Somogyi-Nelson method. Enzymatic hydrolysis was proven to be the most effective using the combination of both of the enzymes for a period of 96 hours at pH = 4.5 and temperature 45 °C. Yield of the reducing sugars under these conditions reached 27,4241 ± 0,0007 gl-1.
