Enzyme Preparations

In the production of alcohol in the preparation of grain raw materials for fermentation, the main role is given to enzyme preparations of amylolytic action, which are key enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of starch. Amylolytic enzyme preparations with a different composition of enzymes and their level of activity, a mechanism of biocatalytic effect on starch, and a range of thermal and pH optimum are widely represented on the Russian market. The development of optimal conditions for the preparation of grain wort, the rational selection and dosage of concentrated enzyme preparations, the properties of which correspond to the parameters of the technological process, will ensure the effective preparation of starch for fermentation, and increase the profitability of alcohol production. The aim of this work was to study the influence of enzyme preparations of amylolytic action and the conditions of their use on the efficiency of the process of alcoholic fermentation and the yield of the final product, ethanol. The effect of various dosages of enzyme preparations of glucoamylase action, with a different ratio of the main enzyme glucoamylase and minor enzyme α-amylase, as well as methods for preparing wheat wort on the process of alcoholic fermentation, was studied. It was found that the enzyme preparation, the source of glucoamylase, in which α-amylase was present in a ratio of 15: 1 (in terms of activity level), turned out to be more effective in fermenting prepared wheat wort: its optimal dosage was 8 units. GLS / g starch. The presence of a sufficient amount of α-amylase in this preparation compensated for the dosage of thermostable α-amylase. The alcohol concentration in the mash was 10.2% vol., The alcohol yield was 67.9 cm3 / 100 g of starch. When glucoamylase with a lower ratio of the main and minor enzyme (75: 1) was used at the saccharification stage, an increase in the wort fermentation depth was observed with an increase in the concentration of glucoamylase to 9-10 units of GLS / g and α-amylase to 0.5 units. AC / g. It was also found that an increase in the duration of enzymatic-hydrolytic preparation of the wort had a positive effect on the fermentation process, the alcohol concentration in the mash increased to 10.2 vol.%. It was shown that the introduction of proteases into the wort helps to reduce the viscosity of grain wort, enriching it with assimilable yeast amino acids, which leads to an increase in the yield of alcohol. It has been confirmed that the synergy of the action of enzymes of amylolytic and proteolytic effects on polymers of grain raw materials allows to increase the efficiency of their conversion to ethanol. The conditions of enzymatic-hydrolytic processing of grain raw materials for fermentation are developed. The use of the digestion stage did not significantly affect the fermentation results of wheat wort.

The aim of the present work is to offer a practical methodology to realise an Arrhenius type kinetic model for a biotechnological process of alcoholic fermentation based on the Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast. Using the experimental data we can correlate the medium temperature of fermentation with the time needed for a fermentation process under imposed conditions of economic efficiency.

As barley and oat production have recently increased in Canada, it has become prudent to investigate these cereal crops as potential feedstocks for alcoholic fermentation. Ethanol and other coproduct yields can vary substantially among fermented feedstocks, which currently consist primarily of wheat and corn. In this study, the liquified mash of milled grains from 28 barley (hulled and hull-less) and 12 oat cultivars were fermented with Saccharomyces cerevisiae to determine concentrations of fermentation products (ethanol, isopropanol, acetic acid, lactic acid, succinic acid, α-glycerylphosphorylcholine (α-GPC), and glycerol). On average, the fermentation of barley produced significantly higher amounts of ethanol, isopropanol, acetic acid, succinic acid, α-GPC, and glycerol than that of oats. The best performing barley cultivars were able to produce up to 78.48 g/L (CDC Clear) ethanol and 1.81 g/L α-GPC (CDC Cowboy). Furthermore, the presence of milled hulls did not impact ethanol yield amongst barley cultivars. Due to its superior ethanol yield compared to oats, barley is a suitable feedstock for ethanol production. In addition, the accumulation of α-GPC could add considerable value to the fermentation of these cereal crops.

Process Factors

The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential of dried Cystoseira barbata alga for ethanol production through alcoholic fermentation. The influence of the main factors affecting the fermentation are studied in the frame of a 23 factorial experimental plan. The main factors influencing the process are the fermentation temperature (t from 25 °C to 35 °C), the solid to liquid ratio (S/L from 0.040 g/g to 0.080 g/g), and the cellulase ratio (R from 8 U/g d.m to 16 U/g d.m.). The maximum volatile compounds yield of 0.2808 g/g d.m and ethanol yield of 0.0158 g/g d.m were favored by the following experimental conditions: process temperature of 35 °C, solid to liquid ratio of 0.0415, and enzyme ratio of 16 U/g d.m. A statistical model was used to correlate the product yield with the process factors. Additionally, 19 interesting bioactive compounds were found in the enzymatic hydrolysis and alcoholic fermentation broths which seem likely to maintain natural defence mechanisms against diseases and physical disorders.
