Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) experiments were carried out with a lignocellulosic biomass. The effects of temperature on enzymatic saccharification and the ethanol fermentation were also investigated. The batch SSF process gave a final ethanol concentration of 10.44 g/l and equivalent glucose yield of 0.55 g/g, which was increased by 67％ or higher over the saccharification at 42℃. The optimal operating condition was found to vary in several parameters, such as the transmembrane pressure, permeation rate, and separation coefficient, related to the SSF combined with membrane system (semi-batch system). When the fermentation was operated in a semi-batch mode, the efficiency of the enzymes and yeast lasted three times longer than in a batch mode.

Red ginseng sikhye is one of Korean unique beverages with the addition of effective ingredients of ginseng. Considering economical and mechanical efficiency and quality of sikhye, the optimum conditions for saccharification is to saccharify at 90 degree celsius for 3 hours in the composition of 4% of malt, 20% of steamed rice, and 6% of red ginseng power. The red ginseng sikhye has high soluble solid content over 33% compared with conventional commercial sikhye. On the other hand, ginseng sikhye, which shows low pH, has more or less higher acidity than conventional commercial one. Especially the turbidity of the red ginseng sikhye is much higher than that of commercial sikhye, due to as high amount of rice as 20% compared with 3% in the commercial one. The use of high quantity of rice affected the level of turbidity in red ginseng sikhye. In this study, we wanted to establish optimum conditions for saccharification in manufacturing red ginseng sikhye which contains effective herbal medicinal ingredients maintaining the original taste of traditional sikhye.

나락을 열풍팽화기로 팽화시켜 현미와 왕겨의 결정화도, 당화율, 농약잔류량의 변화를 비교하였다. 나락의 팽화처리로 쌀전분의 결정화도가 감소하였으나 왕겨의 결정화도는 큰 변화가 없었다. 찰벼의 팽화처리는 자숙처리에 비하여 엿기름 amylase에 의한 당화율이 높았으며 왕겨의 cellulase에 의한 가수분해율은 팽화처리시 $14{\sim}30%$ 상승되었다. 나락의 팽화처리로 왕겨와 현미 중의 농약(diazinon)의 잔류량 감소는 메벼에서 현저하였고, 팽화전에 비하여 현미와 왕겨에서 각각 42.7%, 47.6% 잔류되었다.

The use of lignocellulosic biomass such as rice straw can help subsidize the cost of producing value-added chemicals. However, inhibitory compounds, such as phenolics, produced during the pre-treatment of biomass, hamper the saccharification process. Laccase and electrochemical stimuli are both well known to reduce phenolic compounds. Therefore, in this study, we implemented a bioelectrochemical detoxification system (BEDS), a consolidated electrochemical and enzymatic process involving laccase, to enhance the detoxification of phenolics, and thus achieve a higher saccharification efficiency. Saccharification of pretreated rice straw using BEDS at 1.5 V showed 90% phenolic reduction (Ph_r), thereby resulting in a maximum saccharification yield of 85%. In addition, the specific power consumption when using BEDS (2.2 W/Kg Ph_r) was noted to be 24% lower than by the electrochemical process alone (2.89 W/kg Ph_r). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to implement BEDS for reduction of phenolic compounds in pretreated biomass.

Hyper-thermal (HT) acid hydrolysis of red seaweed Gelidium amansii was performed using 12% (w/v) slurry and an acid mix concentration of 180 mM at 150℃ for 10 min. Enzymatic saccharification when using a combination of Celluclast 1.5 L and CTec2 at a dose of 16 U/ml led to the production of 12.0 g/l of reducing sugar with an efficiency of enzymatic saccharification of 13.2%. After the enzymatic saccharification, 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD) fermentation was carried out using an engineered S. cerevisiae strain. The use of HT acid-hydrolyzed medium with 1.9 g/l of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural showed a reduction in the lag time from 48 to 24 h. The 2,3-BD concentration and yield coefficient at 72 h were 14.8 g/l and 0.30, respectively. Therefore, HT acid hydrolysis and the use of the engineered S. cerevisiae strain can enhance the overall 2,3-BD yields from G. amansii seaweed.

비식량 농업부산물인 왕겨로부터 에탄올 생산을 위한 효율적인 바이오매스 전처리 방법을 탐색하였다. 고온 고압 조건의 회분식 반응기에서 알칼리 용매는 암모니아와 가성소다, 산 용매는 희황산을 사용하였다. 가성소다 용액 처리 후 희황산 용액으로 복합처리한 시료의 효소 당화효율이 82.8%로 가장 높게 나타났고 이때 약 94.7%의 회분 성분 제거율을 보였다. 전처리 왕겨 시료의 효소 당화효율과 회분 성분 제거율 추세가 거의 비슷하게 나타나 왕겨의 효소당화 최대 저해요인이 회분(규산염) 성분임을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 규산염 함량이 높은 바이오매스는 고온 고압 조건하에서 가성소다-희황산 복합 처리법을 적용하는 것이 효소 당화효율 증진에 매우 유리함을 확인하였다.

유기성 폐기물인 음식물쓰레기를 이용하여 유용한 에너지원인 바이오에탄올을 생산하고자 하였으며, 에탄올 생산 균주는 Saccharomyces cerevisiae를 이용하였다. 음식물쓰레기의 당화를 위하여 carbohydrase와 glucoamylase 효소를 이용한 결과 carbohydrase가 glucoamylase보다 당화효율이 우수하였으며, carbohydrase 이용시 건조 음식물쓰레기 기준 glucose 생산량 0.63 g/g-TS을 얻을 수 있었다. 에탄올 생산은 동시당화발효에서 0.44 g/$L{\cdot}hr$, 분리당화발효가 0.27 g/$L{\cdot}hr$이었다.

Bioethanol production from lignocellulose is considered as a sustainable biofuel supply. However, the low cellulose hydrolysis efficiency limits the cellulosic ethanol production. The cellulase is strongly inhibited by the major end product cellobiose, which can be relieved by the addition of ${\beta}$-glucosidase. In this study, three ${\beta}$-glucosidases from different organisms were respectively expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the ${\beta}$-glucosidase from Saccharomycopsis fibuligera showed the best activity (5.2 U/ml). The recombinant strain with S. fibuligera ${\beta}$-glucosidase could metabolize cellobiose with a specific growth rate similar to the control strain in glucose. This recombinant strain showed higher hydrolysis efficiency in the cellulose simultaneous saccharification and fermentation, when using the Trichoderma reesei cellulase, which is short of the ${\beta}$-glucosidase activity. The final ethanol concentration was 110% (using Avicel) and 89% (using acid-pretreated corncob) higher than the control strain. These results demonstrated the effect of ${\beta}$-glucosidase secretion in the recombinant S. cerevisiae for enhancing cellulosic ethanol conversion.

Recently seaweed polysaccharides have been extensively studied for alternative energy application. Because their producing cost is high and efficiency low, their industrial applications have been limited. The main component of cell wall of red algae represented by Gelidiales and Gracilariales is agar. Red-algae agar or galactan, consisting of D-galactose and 3, 6-anhydro-L-galactose, is suitable for bio-product application if hydrolyzed to monomer unit. For the hydrolysis of algae, chemical or enzymatic treatment can be used. A chemical process using a strong acid is simple and efficient, but it generates together with target sugar and toxic compounds. In an enzymatic hydrolysis process, target sugar without toxic compounds generation. The objective of this review is to summary the recent data of saccharification by chemical and enzymatic means from red seaweed for especially focused on automobile industry.

본 연구는 바이오에탄올을 생산하고자 목질계 바이오매스의 효소당화에서의 반탄화의 영향을 비교분석하였다. 전처리로서, 목질계 바이오매스의 반탄화는 무산소 조건에서 $250{\sim}350^{\circ}C$의 온도로 시행되었다. 또한 비이온성 계면활성제인 Tween-80을 첨가하여 반탄화로 인한 소수성변환에 대처하여 당화효율을 높이기 위한 실험을 진행하였다. 그 결과, 반탄화 전처리한 바이오매스를 효소당화한 후 글루코즈 생산량이 전처리하지 않은 바이오매스의 글루코즈 생산량보다 높았다. 그리고 Tween-80의 첨가하여 효소당화하였을 때 당 전환율이 더 높았다. 이로 인해 반탄화를 목질계 바이오매스의 전처리로 적용할 수 있으며 Tween-80을 첨가하였을 때 효소당화에 영향이 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
