Production of glucose and fructose syrups from cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) starch using enzymes produced by microorganisms isolated from Brazilian Cerrado soil

Abstract

The high demands for sugars and the development of enzymatic technology have increased the production of sweeteners, especially for glucose and fructose syrups. This work describe a technology for glucose and fructose syrups from Brazilian cassava starch using enzymes produced by soil microrganisms isolated from the Brazilian Cerrado soil. Firstly, Aspergillus niger and Streptomyces sp. were isolated from the soil and used as glucoamylase (GA) and glucose isomerase (GI) producer sources. After characterization, GA and GI exhibited optimum pH 4.5 and 8.0, respectively. GA showed maximum activity at 60 ºC and GI at 85 ºC. GA and GI retained 65 and 80%, respectively, of initial activity after 180 minutes of incubation at 60 ºC. The kinetic parameters Km and Vmáx were 0.476 (mg.mL-1) and 8.58 (µmol/minute) for GA and 0.082 (M) and 48.20 (µmol/minute) for GI. The maximum glucose syrups production occurred after 24 hours of reaction with a 98% yield. The production of fructose syrups with 42% (w/v) was reached after 96 hours of reaction.

Development of Quantitative Analysis Techniques for Saccharification Reactions Using Raman Spectroscopy

“…The reaction speed of the enzyme decreases because of the insufficient temperature; however, the final production depends on the concentration of the initial material. 22 The result seems to agree with the theoretical results. In the second examination, we evaluated the ability of the present model with a sample that includes one of the final products.…”

Financial Feasibility Corn Sugar as Bioindustry in Bengkayang

“…Produk proses ini adalah gula glukosa jika akan dibuat menjadi gula fruktosa yang lebih manis maka proses dilanjutkan dengan proses isomerasi untuk mengubah glukosa menjadi fruktosa (Parker et al, 2010). Silva et al (2009) (Singh, dkk, 2011). Hasil hidrolisis α-amilase mulamula adalah dekstrin, kemudian dekstrin tersebut dipotong-potong lagi menjadi campuran antara glukosa, maltosa, maltotriosa (Singh,et al, 2011) dan ikatan lain yang lebih panjang (Melliawati dalam Devita, 2013).…”

<b>Syrup production via enzymatic conversion of a byproduct (broken rice) from rice industry

“…After the gelatinizing process, α-amylase increased the rate of hydrolysis, in a multiple attack system where part of the chain is released and part remains complexed with the enzyme when multiple α-1,4 bonds are hydrolyzed until dissociation of the enzyme's active site (Silva, Quintino, Monteiro, & Asquieri, 2010).…”
