Valorization of sunflower meal through the production of ethanol from the hemicellulosic fraction

ABSTRACT Sunflower is among the major oil seeds crop grown in the world and the by-products generated during the seeds processing represent an attractive source of lignocellulosic biomass for bioprocesses.

Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT Sunflower is among the major oil seeds crop grown in the world and the by-products generated during the seeds processing represent an attractive source of lignocellulosic biomass for bioprocesses. The conversion of lignocellulosic fibers into fermentable sugars has been considered as a promising alternative to increase the demand for ethanol. The present study aimed to establish the fermentation conditions for ethanol production by Scheffersomyces stipitis ATCC 58376 in sunflower meal hemicellulosic hydrolysate, through a 23 CCRD (Central Composite Rotational Design) factorial design. Under the selected conditions (pH 5.25, 29 ºC and 198 rpm) the final ethanol concentration was 13.92 g L-1 and the ethanol yield was 0.49 g g-1. RESUMO O girassol está entre as principais oleaginosas cultivadas no mundo e os subprodutos gerados durante o processamento das sementes representam uma fonte atraente de biomassa lignocelulósica para bioprocessos. A conversão de fibras lignocelulósicas em açúcares fermentáveis tem sido considerada uma alternativa promissora para aumentar a demanda de etanol. O presente estudo teve, como objetivo, estabelecer as condições de fermentação para a produção de etanol por Scheffersomyces stipitis ATCC 58376 em hidrolisado hemicelulósico de farelo de girassol através de um planejamento fatorial DCCR 23. Sob as condições selecionadas (pH 5,25, 29 ºC e 198 rpm) a concentração final de etanol foi 13,92 g L-1 e o rendimento 0,49 g g-1.
