Abstract

The purpose of this study was to effectively produce the biosugar from cell wall of lipid extracted microalgae (LEA) by using microwave-assisted pretreatment without enzymatic hydrolysis process. Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimization of microwave-assisted pretreatment conditions for the production of biosugar based on enzyme-free process from LEA. Microwave power (198~702 W), extraction time (39~241 sec), and sulfuric acid (0~1.0 mol) were used as independent variables for central composite design (CCD) in order to predict optimum pretreatment conditions. It was noted that the pretreatment variables that affect the production of glucose (C6) and xylose (C5) significantly have been identified as the microwave power and extraction time. Additionally, the increase in microwave power and time had led to an increase in biosugar production. The superimposed contour plot for maximizing dependent variables showed the maximum C6 (hexose) and C5 (pentose) yields of 92.7 and 74.5% were estimated by the predicted model under pretreatment condition of 700 w, 185.7 sec, and 0.48 mol, and the yields of C6 and C5 were confirmed as 94.2 and 71.8% by experimental validation, respectively. This study showed that microwave-assisted pretreatment under low temperature below $100^{\circ}C$ with short pretreatment time was verified to be an effective enzyme free pretreatment process for the production of biosugar from LEA compared to conventional pretreatment methods.

본 연구의 목적은 탈지미세조류(LEA) 세포벽 분해를 통한 바이오당 생산에 있어 당화효소 사용없이 마이크로파 전처리만을 이용하여 글루코오스와 자일로오스를 생산하는 것이다. LEA의 주성분인 셀룰로오스와 헤미셀룰로오스의 무효소 당화를 위해 산 가수분해 기반의 마이크로파 전처리 조건을 반응표면분석법을 이용하여 최적화하였다. 마이크로파를 이용한 무효소 당화 공정의 주요 변수는 마이크로파 출력(198~702 W), 전처리 시간(39~241 sec)와 황산 농도(0~0.1 mol)로 최적 조건 예측을 위해 중심합성계획법을 이용하여 2차 회귀함수를 도출하였다. 마이크로파 출력과 전처리 시간이 LEA로부터 육탄당(C6)과 오탄당(C5) 생산에 유의한 영향을 주는 변수이며 증가에 따라 육탄당과 오탄당 당화율이 증가하는 경향을 확인하였다. 육탄당과 오탄당 당화율 최대화를 위한 산 가수분해를 적용한 마이크로파 전처리 최적 조건은 마이크로파 출력 700 W, 전처리 시간 185.7 sec와 황산 0.48 mol으로 육탄당 당화율 92.7%와 오탄당 당화율 74.5%가 예측되었으며 확인 실험을 통해 육탄당 당화율 94.2%와 오탄당 당화율 70.8%가 확인되어 예측의 유효성을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 LEA의 셀룰로오스와 헤미셀룰로오스 당화를 위해 산 가수분해 적용 마이크로파 전처리만을 이용한 무효소 당화 공정 적용과 $100^{\circ}C$ 이하의 낮은 온도와 짧은 전처리 시간 적용을 가능하여 기존 전처리 대비 효과적인 공정 임을 입증했다.
