The cost of enzyme is high due to mostly pure carbon and nitrogen sources. Thus, there is a still need for exploring alternative feedstock to enhance enzyme production and reduce the cost. In this study, proportions of apple pomace, orange peels, and hazelnut shells were formulated by the extreme vertices mixture design (EVMD) method in an attempt to enhance co-production of bacterial pectinase and cellulase enzymes in comparison to production medium with single feedstock. Bacillus subtilis was grown in fermentation media containing acid-pretreated feedstock and minerals at initial pH of 7.0 and 30 degrees C for 72 h. Analysis of results from EVMD resulted in a mix of 20% apple pomace, 30% orange peels, and 50% hazelnut shells as optimal, which provided 8.27 U/mL of pectinase and 0.5 U/mL of cellulase under experimentation. These results implied 40% increase in pectinase but no change in cellulase production compared to the pectinase (5.93 U/mL) and cellulase (0.49 U/mL) obtained with hazelnut shell hydrolysate medium. It was also found that hazelnut shells gave slightly higher pectinase than apple pomace and orange peel media. This study proves the use of food processing wastes in mixed form rather than separate feedstock for enhancing pectinase production.

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 ...
Optimization of the fermentation parameters to maximize the production of cellulases and xylanases using DDGS as the main feedstock in stirred tank bioreactors
Iram, Attia; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz; Demirci, Ali (2022-10-01)
© 2022 Elsevier LtdLignocellulolytic enzymes such as cellulase and xylanases are needed on the industrial scales for low-cost production of biofuels and the other value-added products from lignocellulosic biomass such as distillers' dried grains with solubles (DDGS). Optimization of fermentation variables such as agitation, aeration, and inoculum size for fungal enzyme production by submerged fermentation can enhance the enzyme production levels. Therefore, this research focused on the statistical optimizat...

Solvent recovery is an important issue in chemical industry when low product cost is desired and also environmental concerns are considered. The conventional methods for solvent recovery are extractive distillation, adsorption, extraction and absorption. However, these methods require excessive amount of energy, cause product contamination due to additional components and need harsh conditions. Pervaporation separation is independent of the vapor-liquid equilibrium; therefore, it is a suitable technique esp...

The aim of this study was to determine the adsorption capacity of activated carbon and organo-zeolites for removal of pesticides in water. In order to prepare organo-zeolite, two kinds of cationic surfactants, namely, hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (HTAB) and dodecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (DTAB) were used. Adsorption studies of cationic surfactant on zeolite were investigated in respect to initial concentration of cationic surfactant, time, and temperature. It has been found that the best fitted is...
