| Abstract: | Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of alkaline hydrogen peroxide pretreated Antigonum leptopus (Linn) leaves to ethanol was optimized using cellulase from Trichoderma reesei QM-9414 (Celluclast from Novo) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae NRRL-Y-132 cells. Response surface methodology (RSM) and a three-level four-variable design were employed to evaluate the effects of SSF process variables such as cellulase concentration (20-100 FPU/g of substrate), substrate concentration (5-15% w/v), incubation time (24-72 h), and temperature (35-45 degrees C) on ethanol production efficiency. Cellulase and substrate concentrations were found to be the most significant variables. The optimum conditions arrived at are as follows: cellulase = 100 FPU/g of substrate, substrate = 15% (w/v), incubation time = 57.2 h, and temperature = 38.5 degrees C. At these conditions, the predicted ethanol yield was 3.02% (w/v) and the actual experimental value was 3.0% (w/v). |
