    Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Organosolv-Pretreated Corncob and Succinic Acid Production by Actinobacillus Succinogenes
    (Elsevier, 2024) Buyukoztekin, Gulperi Karanfil; Buyukkileci, Ali Oguz
    In this study, the conversion of organosolv-treated corncob into monosaccharides through enzymatic sacchari-fication was investigated, with the resulting monosaccharides being utilized as a carbon source to produce succinic acid. The synergy between the cellulase and xylanase provided 76% cellulose and 64% xylan di-gestibility at 50 degrees C and pH 5.2. In separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF), Actinobacillus succinogenes pro-duced 12.7 g/L of succinic acid from the hydrolysate with 0.12 g/g yield based on the pretreated corncob. Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) demonstrated better performance with 16 g/L succinic acid titer and 0.24 g/g yield, though SHF provided a higher production rate. The condition in the SSF (37 degrees C and pH near neutral) was suboptimal for the enzymes, thus the succinic acid production was limited by the saccharification step. These findings emphasize the potential of organosolv-treated corncob to serve as an enzymatic hydrolysis substrate without neutralization and detoxification, supplying glucose and xylose for succinic acid production by A. succinogenes.

    Comparison of Liquid Hot Water, Very Dilute Acid and Alkali Treatments for Enhancing Enzymatic Digestibility of Hazelnut Tree Pruning Residues
    (Elsevier, 2018) Sabancı, Kevser; Büyükkileci, Ali Oğuz
    The effect of pretreatments on the composition of the hazelnut tree pruning residue (HTPR) and on the digestibility of the cellulose was investigated. The liquid hot water (LHW) and the very dilute acid (VDA) treatments were effective in solubilizing hemicellulose. The cellulose conversion increased up to around 60% (corresponding to 32–36 g/L glucose) with decreasing hemicellulose concentration in the pretreated HTPR. The alkali treatment provided partial delignification, however, the glucose production was comparably lower. Combining the hemicellulose removal and the delignification effect of different pretreatments in two-stage processes (LHW-alkali and VDA-alkali treatments) enhanced the cellulose concentration in the solids, but not the amount of glucose released in the enzymatic digestion. These results suggested that the hemicellulose was the main barrier against the conversion of cellulose in the LHW and VDA treated HTPR and the glucose in the hydrolysis medium inhibited the cellulase activity, which prevented the complete conversion of cellulose.
