Application

Application Comment Organism
degradation degradation of alpha-amylase-treated wheat bran by xylanase solubilises about 20% of the fibre residue, i.e. 10% of the original bran. Amylase, protease and xylanase treatments alter the composition of the original bran, removing starch (100%), a portion of the non-starch glucan (39%), xylan (57%), arabinan (61%), ash (62%) and other components including protein (52%). Pre-extraction of enzymatically-hydrolysable starch and xylan reduces the release of furfural. Steam explosion of the lignocellulosic residue followed by cellulase treatment and conversion to ethanol at a high substrate concentration (19%) gives an ethanol titre ofabout 25 g/l or a yield of 93% of the theoretical maximum Thermomyces lanuginosus
