There is a growing interest in enzyme production from food and agricultural wastes to reduce the cost of production. Pectinases are one of the important group of enzymes used in fruit processing, alcoholic beverages, coffee and tea fermentation and textile industries. Pectinases can be produced by both solid state and submerged fermentation from various plant and microorganisms; however fungal microorganisms are the largest sources of bulk commercial enzymes and there are numerous studies on pectinase production from fungal sources. Therefore, in this study; bacterial mix culture (Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus pumilus) was used to produce pectinase by submerged fermentation using apple pomace as carbon source. Firstly, growth curves of both microorganisms (Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus pumilus) were constructed to determine the exponential and stationary phases. The cultures were used at the beginning of stationary phase during fermentation. Pre-treatment of apple pomace was carried out using one step and two step acid hydrolysis methods. Initial screening was done to fix the time variable of fermentation. A set of 15 experiments was constructed by Box-Behnken design to optimize fermentation conditions with respect to pH (7, 8 and 9), apple pomace (AP) concentration (5, 10 and 15 %) and mix culture ratio-B.subtilis/B.pumilus (1/4, 3.4/1.6 and 4/1). Further analyses at optimum condition were carried out to investigate any correlation between reducing sugar content, biomass, protein content and pectinase production. Initial screening experiments revealed that maximum pectinase production was achieved after 24 h fermentation time. One-step acid hydrolysis with 4% H2SO4 was found the best pre-treatment method. The highest pectinase activity was 11.48±0.51 IU/mL measured at 15 % AP; pH 9 and mix ratio(B.subtilis/B.pumilus) 2.125. The determination coefficient (R2=97.98) and insignificant lack of fit (p=0.124>0.05) proved that the model fitted well to the experimental data. Pectinase production kinetics was evaluated by Leudeking and Piret model. Pectinase production was found growth-related whose coefficient (α) was 8.0431. In conclusion, this study shows that apple pomace is an effective carbon source for the pectinase production and mix culture fermentation has enhanced pectinase production.

Improvement of Pectinase Production by Co-culture of Bacillus spp. Using Apple Pomace as a Carbon Source
Kuvvet, Ceren; UZUNER, SİBEL; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz (2019-05-01)
Increasing interest in using food and agricultural wastes for low cost enzyme production continues in fermentation industry. Bacteria, especially Bacillus subtilis, are known to produce pectinases in synthetic media and media amended with agricultural wastes as a carbon source, whereas the potential of co-culturing Bacillus species to produce pectinases has not been fully studied yet. In this study, co-culture of B. subtilis and B. pumilus was optimized for solid load and pH to maximize pectinase production...
Formulation of food processing wastes for co-production of bacterial pectinase and cellulase enzymes
Özzeybek, Mehlika; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz; Department of Food Engineering (2022-5-16)
Production of enzymes has always been the focus of research with its ever-increasing application area, yet it is an expensive process due to the need for pure carbon sources to carry out the production. Exploring new ways to reduce cost while maximizing enzyme production is an ongoing battle, even in today's opportunities. In this research, a mixture of food wastes was valorized and bacterial pectinase and cellulase were co-produced. Optimum proportions of the hazelnut shells, orange peel, and apple pomace ...
Ca-D(-)-lactate production from orange baggase via enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation
Baltacı, Saadet Fatma; Hamamcı, Haluk; Department of Food Engineering (2016)
The utilization of low-cost renewable carbohydrate sources for the production of lactic acid which is widely used organic acid in food and polymer industry is a recent strategy in bioeconomy. The objective of this work was to produce Ca-D(-) -lactate as a precursor for D(-)-polylactic acid through the bioconversion of orange bagasse (OB) by enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation. The hydrolysis of OB carried with dried and fresh OB, and cellulolytic and pectinolytic enzymes at 55 C, 150 rpm and 4.8 pH to eva...

Microbial production of alkaline pectinase from hazelnut shell
Uzuner, Sibel; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz; Department of Food Engineering (2014)
Utilization of cheap and abundant materials for enzyme production is one of the strategies that can reduce the product costs. Besides, use of renewable agro-food industrial wastes as a raw material provides not only low cost and sustainable value added products but also is a solution to waste disposal problem.In this study, fermentation medium composition and conditions for maximal production of pectinase enzyme from Bacillus subtilis in submerged fermentation were investigated. The potential use of crude e...
