The fermentation was performed by inoculating the seed solution (containing corncob powder and yeast) and cellulase into the synchronous saccharification fermentation medium. Single-factor experiments and orthogonal experiments were performed, and the optimal processing conditions were obtained based on the characterizations of alcohol content and sensory evaluation. The results show that the alcohol content and sensory evaluation of the drink can reach 6.1 vol.% and 92, respectively, when the dosage of cellulase, inoculum concentration of yeast, the fermentation temperature and the fermentation time are 15 U/g, 7%, 32℃ and 84 h, respectively.展开更多

Pretreatment of the substrate is essential for further hydrolysis and fermentation steps. This study focused on the steam explosion method as pretreatment. Therefore, different steam explosion severities were evaluated. The content of glucan, xylan and Klason lignin was examined. Xylan degraded with increasing severity from 412.7 g·kg-1 (untreated) to a minimum of 127.3 g-kg1 dry matter (190 ℃/30 min). Glucan concentrations increased from 315.1 g·kg1 (untreated) to a maximum of 371.6 g·kg-1 dry matter (200 ℃/20 min). For soluble lignin, an increase could be observed at rising severity, from 145.3 g·kg-l (untreated) to a maximum of 214.9 g·kg-1 dry matter (190 ℃/30 min). Furthermore, the mass recovery was calculated. At harsher pretreatment conditions, a significant mass loss was observed, estimated by the ash content in the recovered dry matter. The lowest recovery rate was observed for SF = 4.13 (190 ℃/30 min) with 68.39%. The produced inhibitors were evaluated.展开更多
