  • Saccharification and fermentation of lignocellulosic biomass using Trichoderma reesei cellulases and Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Creator:
    Chung, Yun-Chin
    Abstract:
    The efficiency of cellulose hydrolysis under straight saccharification and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) conditions was evaluated using three lignocellulosic materials (switchgrass, cornstover, and poplar), which had been pretreated with dilute sulfuric acid under conditions which optimized xylose concentrations in the prehydrolysate liquid. Yields of glucose, cellobiose and ethanol obtained...

  • Apparent inhibition of Pacific whiting surimi-associated protease by whey protein concentrate

    Creator:
    Piyachomkwan, Kuakoon
    Abstract:
    Surimi is a seafood product which is used to manufacture restructured products such as artificial crab and lobster. Surimi is produced from fish fillets by washing to remove sarcoplasmic proteins and increase the concentration of myofibrillar proteins, and mixing with cryoprotectants. A valuable attribute of surimi is its ability to...

  • Conversion of lignocellulosic biomass : analysis of substrate characteristics

    Creator:
    Meunier-Goddik, Lisbeth
    Abstract:
    The objective of this research was to investigate the influence of physicochemical properties of lignocellulosic biomass on the rate and extent of cellulose conversion, i.e. the "hydrolyzability" of the substrate. The initial two parts of this thesis investigated the interactions between various components of pretreated biomass. The relevance of cellulase...

  • Characterization of substrate-velocity relationships for the cellulase enzyme complex from Trichoderma viride

    Creator:
    Liaw, Ean-Tun
    Abstract:
    The influence of substrate and enzyme concentration on the rate of saccharification of two defined, insoluble, cellulose substrates, Avicel and Solka-Floc, by the cellulase enzyme system of Trichoderma viride has been evaluated. Assays utilized enzyme concentrations ranging from 0.014 to 0.056 filter paper unit per mL and substrate concentrations up...

  • Porosity, surface area and enzymatic saccharification of microcrystalline cellulose

    Creator:
    Tantasucharit, Usicha
    Abstract:
    The research described in this thesis was aimed at understanding how particle size, porosity, and enzyme accessible surface area influence the rate of saccharification of microcrystalline cellulose. Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is a commonly used substrate for the study of cellulolytic enzymes. MCC preparations of different particle size are commercially available....

  • In Vitro fermentation of dietary cellulose by human fecal microorganisms

    Creator:
    Chang, Hung-pi
    Abstract:
    The purpose of the study was to set up an in vitro model of the colon which would permit the analysis of cellulose fermentation by human colonic microflora. Studies of the degradation of polysaccharides by colonic bacteria may help to explain the observed physiological consequences of consuming dietary fiber common...
