In order to assure the consistency of the final product quality, a fast and effective process monitoring is a growing need in solid state fermentation (SSF) industry. This work investigated the potential of non-invasive techniques combined with the chemometrics method, to monitor time-related changes that occur during SSF process of feed protein. Four fermentation trials conducted were monitore...

Gibberellic acid (GA3) is an important phytohormone, a member of gibberellins family, which acts as a promoter and regulator of plant growth. This study aimed to evaluate GA3 production by Fusarium moniliforme LPB03 and Gibberella fujikuroi LPB06 using different techniques of fermentation, solid state fermentation (SSF), submerged fermentation (SmF), and semisolid state fermentation (SSSF), and...

Alkali-pretreated sugarcane bagasse fiber was subjected to fed-batch simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) with a prehydrolysis process to increase the solids loading and produce a high concentration of ethanol. The hydrolysis medium and yeast feeding modes were investigated to determine suitable conditions for high sugar yield and ethanol production. Batch addition resulted in a...

Ethanol production from the steam-exploded mixture of 75% cotton gin waste and 25% recycled paper sludge in various conditions was investigated by semi-simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSSF) consisting of a pre-hydrolysis and a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF). Four cases were studied: 24-h pre-hydrolysis + 48-h SSF (SSSF 24), 12-h pre-hydrolysis + 60-h SSF (S...

BACKGROUND Saccharification and fermentation of pretreated lignocellulosic materials, such as spruce, should be performed at high solids contents in order to reduce the cost of the produced bioethanol. However, this has been shown to result in reduced ethanol yields or a complete lack of ethanol production. Previous studies have shown inconsistent results when prehydrolysis is performed at a hi...

An advanced pretreatment method that combines steam treatment (ST) with wet disk milling (WDM) was evaluated using two different species of woods, viz., Hinoki cypress (softwood) and Eucalyptus (hardwood). Bioconversion of the pretreated products was performed using enzymatic saccharification via a commercial cellulase mixture and two types of fermentation processing, i.e., yeast-based simultan...

Fermentation has been widely used for the production of a wide variety of substances that are highly beneficial to individuals and industry. Over the years, fermentation techniques have gained immense importance due to their economic and environmental advantages. Ancient techniques have been further modified and refined to maximize productivity. This has also involved the development of new mac...

Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation (SSF) is a process where microbes have to first excrete extracellular enzymes to break polymeric substrates such as starch or cellulose into edible nutrients, followed by in situ conversion of those nutrients into more valuable metabolites via fermentation. As such, SSF is very attractive as a one-pot synthesis method of biological products. Howeve...

We produced a-amylase from banana peel by Bacillus subtilis through solid state fermentation (SSF). Addition of yeast extract, corn steep liquor, sodium dodesyl sulphate (SDS) and Tween-80 enhanced the a-amylase production under preoptimized fermentation conditions. Maximum enzyme yield (10.25 U/mL) was observed at 35°C after 24 hours of SSF in growth medium containing 0.1% yeast extract, 1% co...
