| Abstract |
At present, a zero-waste concept has become a major concern and a challenging
topic. Among several renewable materials which contain high cellulose content, napkin
papers are potential sources for use in the production of ethanol and other valueadded products. This study aimed to study the feasibility of the economic medium
formulation from the napkin hydrolysate for ethanol production and beta-glucan
extraction from spent yeasts. The medium costs per gram of ethanol produced from
napkin and 3 different nitrogen sources-i.e., yeast malt extract (YM), urea, and
ammonium sulfate-were compared. The result revealed that the new medium
formulation from napkin-ammonium sulfate was economical at 18% over commercial
YM medium to produce ethanol. Furthermore, the remaining yeast cells from the
fermentation process were autolyzed and beta-glucan was extracted prior to Fourier
transforms infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy for compositional and structural analyses. The
FTIR integration peaks indicated that S. cerevisiae TISTR 5339 cell wall contained
beta-1,3-glucan as the main component of the total polysaccharides. Overall, this study
was successful in developing the practically economic medium for biotransformation of
napkins to ethanol and producing value-added beta-glucan from spent yeast from the
ethanol production process, which can potentially be used in pharmaceutical or food
industry in the future. |
