Abstract

BACKGROUND: This work is focused on inulinase production by solid‐sate fermentation (SSF) using sugarcane bagasse, corn steep liquor (CSL), pre‐treated cane molasses, and soybean bran as substrates in a 3‐kg (dry basis) packed‐bed bioreactor. SSF was carried out by the yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus NRRL Y‐7571 and response surface methodology was used to optimize the temperature, air flow rate and initial mass of cells.

RESULTS: The optimum inulinase activity (436.7 ± 36.3 U g^−1^ dry substrate) was obtained at 24 h at an inlet air temperature of 30 °C, air flow rate 2.2 m^3^ h^−1^ and 22 g of cells for fermentation. Inulinase productivity at these conditions was 18.2 U gds^−1^ h^−1^. Kinetic evaluation at the optimized conditions showed that the maximum inulinase production was verified at 24 h of fermentation. The carbon dioxide and the metabolic heat generation are directly associated with the consumption of total reducing sugars present in the medium.

CONCLUSION: The high productivity achieved in this work shows the technical viability of inulinase production by SSF in a packed‐bed bioreactor. Copyright © 2009 Society of Chemical Industry

Zymotis bioreactors for solid-state fermentation (SSF) are packed-bed bioreactors with internal cooling plates. This design has potential to overcome the problem of heat removal, which is one of the main challenges in SSF. In ordinary packed-bed bioreactors, which lack internal plates, large axial t
