    Organosolv Pretreatment of Corncob for Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Xylan
    (Springer, 2023) Büyükkileci, Ali Oğuz; Temelli, Nuran
    Xylan is a renewable polysaccharide, readily available in agricultural and forestry residues. It can be hydrolyzed to produce xylooligosaccharides (XOS) with prebiotic activity and xylose, a precursor for several industrial chemicals. Enzymatic hydrolysis of xylan in the lignocellulosic biomass to obtain xylose and XOS requires a pretreatment to facilitate xylanase activity. In this study, organosolv was evaluated for the delignification of corncob while retaining xylan in the pretreated biomass. The treatment at 170 °C for 1 h with 70% ethanol provided 50% lignin removal and 81% xylan recovery. Increasing temperatures and decreasing ethanol fractions decreased the pH and the xylan recovery. Loss of xylan in the organosolv at 190 °C and in the liquid hot water treatment could be prevented by the addition of 100 mM MgO, without compromising lignin removal. Pretreated corncob was suspended in citrate buffer and hydrolyzed by commercial xylanases. Accellerase XY (250 U/ml) at pH 5.5 and 55 °C and Econase XT (0.6 U/ml) at pH 6.0 and 70 °C provided around 65% xylan digestibility and generated xylose (9.8 g/l) and XOS (10.9 g/l), respectively. This approach could decrease xylan loss and degradation in the pretreatment step and yield clear hydrolysates composed of essentially xylose or XOS. Lignocellulosic biorefineries can benefit from the efficient utilization of xylan, increasing sustainability. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.

    Processing of Hazelnut (corylus Avellana L.) Shell Autohydrolysis Liquor for Production of Low Molecular Weight Xylooligosaccharides by Aureobasidium Pullulans Nrrl Y-2311 Xylanase
    (Elsevier, 2021) Sürek, Ece; Büyükkileci, Ali Oğuz; Yeğin, Sırma
    In this study, a versatile process for the production of xylooligosaccharides (XOS) with a low degree of polymerization (DP 2-6) from hazelnut shells was designed. This process included autohydrolysis integrated with sequential enzymatic hydrolysis by crude xylanase produced with Aureobasidium pullulans NRRL Y-2311-1 from wheat bran. Autohydrolysis of hazelnut shells was carried out at a solid:liquid ratio of 1:6 (w/w) and 190 degrees C nonisothermally. The effects of several parameters on enzymatic hydrolysis of the autohydrolysis liquor were determined. The maximum XOS (DP 2-6) production was 22.5 g/L which was obtained at pH 5.0 and 40 degrees C using enzyme concentration of 240 U/g XOS and substrate concentration of 72 g/L. Under these conditions, 31.29 % of the substrate (total XOS) was converted to low-DP-XOS; xylobiose and xylotriose are being the major oligomers. This is the first study on the application of A. pullulans xylanase in production of xylooligomers from hazelnut shells.
