Abstract |
Gracilaria verrucosa, red seaweed, is a promising biomass for bioethanol production due to its high carbohydrate content. The optimal hyper thermal (HT) acid hydrolysis conditions are 12% (w/v) G. verrucosa with 0.2 M H2SO4 at 130 °C for 15 min, with a severity factor of 1.66. This HT acid hydrolysis produces 50.7 g/L monosaccharides. The maximum monosaccharide concentration of 58.0 g/L was achieved with 96.6% of the theoretical monosaccharide production from 120 g dry weight/L G. verrucosa slurry after HT acid hydrolysis and enzymatic saccharification. Fermentation was carried out by removing an inhibitory compound and via yeast adaptation to galactose. Both Pichia stipitis and Kluyveromyces marxianus adapted to galactose were excellent producers, with the ethanol yield (YEtOH) of 0.50 and 29.0 g/L ethanol production. However, the bioethanol productivity with Pichia stipitis adapted to galactose is higher than that with Kluyveromyces marxianus adapted to galactose, being 0.81 and 0.35 g/L/h, respectively. The results from this study can be applied to industrial scale bioethanol production from seaweed. |
