通过对超高底物浓度生料发酵中温度的影响研究发现,采用温度梯度的方法可大幅提高酵母的生产效率。以高粱为例,采用35%绝对干物浓度,在新型生料水解酶的配合下,通过合适的逐级降温培养方式,使用普通酒精干酵母,在90h内发酵醪液酒精浓度可达20%(V/V)以上。     

常压甘油自催化预处理麦草浓醪发酵纤维素乙醇

目前纤维素乙醇成本偏高的根本原因在于没有达到淀粉质乙醇发酵水平的"三高"(高浓度、高转化率和高效率)指标,提高水解糖液浓度和避免发酵抑制物来实现浓醪发酵,是解决问题的关键。文中以常压甘油自催化预处理麦草为底物,尝试采用不同发酵策略,探讨其浓醪发酵产纤维素乙醇的可行性。在优化培养条件(15%底物浓度,加酶量30 FPU/g干底物,温度37℃,接种量10%)下同步糖化发酵72 h,纤维素乙醇产量为31.2 g/L,转化率为73%,发酵效率0.43 g/(L·h);采用半同步(预酶解24 h)糖化发酵72 h,纤维素乙醇浓度达到33.7 g/L,转化率为79%,发酵效率为0.47 g/(L·h),其中(半)同步糖化发酵中90%以上纤维素已被糖化水解用于发酵;采用分批补料式半同步糖化发酵,补料到基质浓度相当于30%,发酵72 h时纤维素乙醇产量达到51.2 g/L,转化率为62%,发酵效率为0.71 g/(L·h)。在所有浓醪发酵中乙酸不足3 g/L,无糠醛和羟甲基糠醛等发酵抑制物。以上结果表明,常压甘油自催化预处理木质纤维素基质适用于纤维素乙醇发酵;分批补料式半同步糖化发酵策略可用来进行浓醪纤维素乙醇发酵;未来工作中提高基质纯度和强化酶解产糖是浓醪纤维素乙醇达到"三高"指标的关键。

生料发酵生产酒精和其中的工程问题

早期的生料水解研究主要基于节能的目的.最新的技术进步、研究和工业实践发现以前未被注意的很多优点,如生料发酵生产提高酒精转化率、单元操作少及体系黏度低等优点.新的生料水解酶的出现使得高浓高强度生料发酵来生产工业酒精和燃料酒精具有很强的竞争力,是未来生物酒精生产的一个重要发展方向.由于生料体系的非均相特性,与传统的发酵过程有相当的不同.控制颗粒的大小,保持良好的传质对发酵的顺利进行很重要.在高浓度发酵时,系统的温度梯度控制也很重要.加强生料发酵体系工程研究对以后的工程设计和工厂优化有重要意义.

菊芋含有大量的菊粉多糖,且种植简单、产量高,是极具开发价值的替代玉米等粮食作物生产燃料乙醇的原料。文中研究了鹰嘴豆孢克鲁维酵母Y179利用菊芋原料同步糖化与发酵生产乙醇。鹰嘴豆孢克鲁维酵母Y179具有高效分泌菊粉酶的能力,摇瓶试验显示Y179酵母能够利用完全由菊芋原料配制而成的培养基良好生长并发酵产生乙醇。通气及温度对乙醇产量影响明显,相对厌氧环境对Y179酵母发酵产乙醇具有促进作用,30℃发酵温度相对37℃和42℃更有利于乙醇产量提高。种子液培养时间及接种量对乙醇产量影响较小。在5 L发酵罐中以10%(V/V)量接入预培养36 h的Y179种子液,发酵液完全由菊芋干粉配制而成,总糖含量22%(W/V),30℃不通气,300 r/min搅拌,发酵144 h时,乙醇浓度达到12.3%(V/V),糖醇转化效率86.9%,糖利用率大于93.6%。初步研究结果显示鹰嘴豆孢克鲁维酵母Y179在利用菊芋原料生产乙醇方面具有良好应用前景。     

初始条件对高浓度乙醇连续发酵过程的影响及振荡行为提高发酵效率的机理分析

前期实验在稀释速率为0.027h-1的高浓度乙醇连续发酵过程中,发现了一种长周期、宽振幅的参数振荡现象。本实验进一步考察了不同稀释速率下的连续发酵过程,发现在稀释速率为0.04h-1条件下,也能出现类似的振荡现象;在稀释速率为0.027h-1或0.04h-1的条件下,改变系统的初始状态可以得到振荡和稳态两种不同的发酵过程。比较振荡和稳态过程的实验数据后,发现在稀释速率为0.04h-1的条件下,与稳态过程相比,振荡过程的平均残糖浓度降低了14.8%,平均乙醇浓度提高了12.6%,平均设备生产强度提高了12.3%。进一步分析表明:与稳态过程相比,振荡过程动力学行为不仅存在滞后,而且在相同残糖和乙醇浓度条件下,所对应的平均比生长速率提高了53.8%。     

木薯纤维素乙醇发酵的纤维素酶成本评价

木薯中的纤维素成分约占木薯干重的10％(W/W).文中以木薯燃料乙醇生产的木薯纤维素酒渣为原料,从纤维素酶成本角度评估了三种利用木薯纤维素组分发酵生产乙醇的方法,包括木薯纤维素酒渣的直接糖化和乙醇发酵、木薯纤维素酒渣预处理后的糖化与乙醇发酵、木薯乙醇发酵中同步淀粉与纤维素糖化以及乙醇发酵.结果表明,前两种方法的纤维素利用效率不高,酶成本分别达到13602、11659元/吨乙醇.第三种方法,即在木薯乙醇发酵过程同时加入糖化酶和纤维素酶,进行同步淀粉与纤维素糖化,进而进行乙醇发酵,木薯纤维素乙醇的收益最高.发酵结束时的乙醇浓度从101.5g/L提高到107.0g/L,纤维素酶成本为3 589元/吨乙醇.此方法利用木薯纤维素与木薯淀粉同时进行,不会带来额外的设备及操作投入,酶成本低于产品乙醇价格,可实现盈利,因此第三种方法为木薯纤维用于乙醇发酵的最适方法,本研究结果将为木薯乙醇产业深度利用木薯纤维提供依据.     

Production of 21% (v/v) ethanol by fermentation of very high gravity (VHG) wheat mashes

Summary Very high gravity wheat mashes containing 300 g or more sugares per liter were prepared by enzymatic hydrolysis of starch and fermented with a commercial preparation of active dry yeast. The active dry yeast used in this study was a blend of several strains ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae. The fermentation was carried out at 20°C at different pitching rates (inoculation levels) with and without the addition of yeast extract as nutrient supplement. At a pitching rate of 76 million cells per g of mash an ethanol yield of 20.4% (v/v) was obtained. To achieve this yeast extract must be added to the wheat mash as nutrient supplement. When the pitching rate was raised to 750 million cells per g of mash, the ethanol yield increased to 21.5% (v/v) and no nutrient supplement was required. The efficiency of conversion of sugar to ethanol was 97.6% at the highest pitching rate. This declined slightly with decreasing pitching rate. A high proportion of yeast cells lost viability at high pitching rates. It is suggested that nutrients released from yeast cells that lost viability and lysed, contributed to the high yield of ethanol in the absence of any added nutrients.

Improvement of ethanol production in very high gravity fermentation by horse gram (Dolichos biflorus) flour supplementation

AIMS: To determine the effect of osmotic stress on yeast and to investigate the protective role of horse gram flour during very high gravity (VHG) ethanol fermentation. METHODS AND RESULTS: Saccharomyces cerevisiae was inoculated into high sugar (30-40%, w/v) containing medium with and without supplementation of horse gram flour. The fermentation experiments were carried out in batch mode. The effect of 4 or 6% of horse gram flour to the medium on the metabolic behaviour and viability of yeast was studied. Significant increase in ethanol yield up to 50% and dramatic decrease in glycerol production up to 100% was observed in the presence of horse gram flour. The fermentation rate was increased from 3 to 5 days with increased viable cell count. The physical and chemical factors of horse gram flour may aid in reducing the osmotic stress of high gravity fermentation of ethanol as well as enhancing ethanol yield. CONCLUSIONS: It was found that horse gram flour not only reduced fermentation time but also enhanced ethanol production by better utilization of sugar. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Production of high ethanol concentration by using VHG sugar fermentation eliminates the expensive steps in the conventional process and saves time.     

Grain pearling and very high gravity (VHG) fermentation technologies for fuel alcohol production from rye and triticale

A SATAKE laboratory abrasive mill was used for rye and triticale grain processing. About 12% of dry grain mass was removed after three and five successive abrasions for triticale and rye, respectively. Starch contents in the pearled grain were increased by 8·0% for triticale, and by 7·1% for rye. The pearled rye and triticale were ground and fermented by active dry yeast for fuel alcohol production by very high gravity (VHG) fermentation at 20°C. VHG technology was applied to increase final ethanol concentrations in the fermentors from 9·5–10·0% (v/v) (normal gravity) to 12·9–15·1% (v/v). The grain pearling process coupled with VHG technology further raised the ethanol concentration to 15·7–16·1% (v/v). Partial removal of outer grain solids in an alcohol plant would improve plant efficiency and decrease energy requirements for mash heating, mash cooling, and ethanol distillation.     

Improvement in fermentation characteristics of degermed ground corn by lipid supplementation

With rapid growth of fuel ethanol industry, and concomitant increase in distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), new corn fractionation technologies that reduce DDGS volume and produce higher value coproducts in dry grind ethanol process have been developed. One of the technologies, a dry degerm, defiber (3D) process (similar to conventional corn dry milling) was used to separate germ and pericarp fiber prior to the endosperm fraction fermentation. Recovery of germ and pericarp fiber in the 3D process results in removal of lipids from the fermentation medium. Biosynthesis of lipids, which is important for cell growth and viability, cannot proceed in strictly anaerobic fermentations. The effects of ten different lipid supplements on improving fermentation rates and ethanol yields were studied and compared to the conventional dry grind process. Endosperm fraction (from the 3D process) was mixed with water and liquefied by enzymatic hydrolysis and was fermented using simultaneous saccharification and fermentation. The highest ethanol concentration (13.7% v/v) was achieved with conventional dry grind process. Control treatment (endosperm fraction from 3D process without lipid supplementation) produced the lowest ethanol concentration (11.2% v/v). Three lipid treatments (fatty acid ester, alkylphenol, and ethoxylated sorbitan ester 1836) were most effective in improving final ethanol concentrations. Fatty acid ester treatment produced the highest final ethanol concentration (12.3% v/v) among all lipid supplementation treatments. Mean final ethanol concentrations of alkylphenol and ethoxylated sorbitan ester 1836 supplemented samples were 12.3 and 12.0% v/v, respectively.Mention of brand or firm names does not constitute an endorsement by University of Illinois or USDA above others of similar nature not mentioned
