Effect of liquefaction temperature and enzymatic treatment on bioethanol production from mixed waste baked products
Effect of liquefaction temperature and enzymatic treatment on bioethanol production from mixed waste baked products
Abstract (English)
This study investigates the effect of different liquefaction temperatures (50–70 °C) and four commercial enzyme formulations on glucose release and subsequent ethanol yield, using mixed waste baked products as a substrate. Among the enzymes tested, Amylase GA 500 proved to be superior in the hydrolysis of starch at lower temperatures (50 °C and 55°C). At higher liquefaction temperatures (65 °C and 70°C) all four enzyme preparations showed comparable activity. The highest glucose concentration (205.7 g/L) and the highest ethanol yield (92 g/L) were achieved with Amylase GA 500 at 65 °C. Its superior performance is attributed to the synergistic activity of α-amylase and glucoamylase, which facilitates efficient starch hydrolysis. Crucially, we discovered that the liquefaction temperature profoundly affects fermentation speed independently of the initial glucose concentration or the enzyme preparation used for starch hydrolysis. This novel mechanistic insight suggests that higher temperature treatment either makes an additional factor crucial for yeast fermentation available or depletes/destroys an inhibitor present in the complex waste bakery product matrix. These findings highlight the critical role of temperature and enzyme formulation in optimizing bioethanol production from bakery waste, supporting the development of more sustainable and efficient waste-to-biofuel processes.
