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 evaluate the effect of biomass and enzyme loading, pectinase, drying and recycling of hydrolysate. Optimal results; 12.1 g/L glucose and 19.3 g/L total sugar conversion, were obtained by the hydrolysis of 10 % (w/v) solid load with 0.5 (w/v) % of cellulase mixture and 0.5 % (v/v) pectinase loading for 24 hours. It was observed that pectinase addition had a significant increase on saccharification. Ca- D(-)-lactate was produced by Lactobacillus delbrueckii bulgaricus OZZ4 and Lactobacillus plantarum OZH8 at 38 C, 160 rpm with OB hydrolysate. The influence of growth media, filtration of FOB hydrolysate, inoculum size on batch fermentation and repetitive substrate addition for fed-batch fermentation was evaluated. It was found that by employing centrifugation followed by filtration the antimicrobial effect of D-limonene was eliminated. Around 0.95 g/g and 0.50 g/g lactic acid yield (YL/T) were attained by both of the strains as a result of batch and fed-batch fermentation conducted with 5 % (v/v) inoculum size in fermentation medium containing eMRS broth and DOB hydrolysate, respectively.

Enhancing the value of nitrogen from rapeseed meal for microbial oil production Kiran, Esra Uckun; Salakkam, Apilak; Trzcinski, Antoine P.; Bakir, Ufuk; Webb, Colin (2012-05-10) Rapeseed meal, a major byproduct of biodiesel production, has been used as a low-cost raw material for the production of a generic microbial feedstock through a consolidated bioconversion process. Various strategies were tested for the production of a novel fermentation medium, rich in free amino nitrogen (FAN): commercial enzymes (CEs) (2.7 mg g(-1) dry meal), liquid state fungal pre-treatment (LSF) using Aspergillus oryzae (4.6 mg g(-1)), liquid state fungal pre-treatment followed by fungal autolysis (LSF...
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...
Production of lactic acid by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of horse chestnut shell by using lactobacillus casei Çetin, Zeynep Başak; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz; Hamamcı, Haluk; Department of Food Engineering (2022-8-01) Lactic acid is a multifunctional organic acid used as an acidifier, flavoring, or preservative in textile, food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Bacterial fermentation is the most preferred method for lactic acid production, but the often-used refined sugar increases the cost of production. For this reason, a new environmentally friendly, sustainable, and low-cost carbon source is being researched. The seeds of horse chestnut are mostly used in the pharmaceutical industry for antioxidant production...
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...
Chemocatalytic Upgrading of Tailored Fermentation Products Toward Biodiesel SREEKUMAR, Sanil; Baer, Zachary C.; GROSS, Elad; Padmanaban, Sasisanker; GOULAS, Konstantinos; Günbaş, Emrullah Görkem; ALAYOGLU, Selim; Blanch, Harvey W.; Clark, Douglas S.; Toste, F. Dean (Wiley, 2014-09-01) Biological and chemocatalytic processes are tailored in order to maximize the production of sustainable biodiesel from lignocellulosic sugar. Thus, the combination of hydrotalcite-supported copper(II) and palladium(0) catalysts with a modification of the fermentation from acetone-butanol-ethanol to isopropanol-butanol-ethanol predictably produces higher concentrations of diesel-range components in the alkylation reaction.
