INVESTIGATION OF SEVERAL FACTORS ON ENZYMATIC HYDROLYSIS OF SUGAR BEET PULP AND CORN COB: STATISTICAL ANALYSES OF THE EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS

In this work, sugar beet pulp (SBP) as a lignin poor biomass and corn cob (CC) rich were subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis see the effects of various variables on reducing yield. SBP hydrolysis, response surface methodology (RSM) ANOVA used fit yield determine significance parameters (substrate, pectinase, cellulase time). The proposed quadratic model gave an adequate approximation indicating all main some interaction (p < 0.05). maximum yields within design space found approximately 87 g/L after 18 h using 300 µl Cellic Ctec3 Pectinex Ultra SP-L at %20 substrate loading. CC use nonionic surfactants (Tween 20 Tween 80) under unpretreated conditions did not necessarily increase from untreated CC.
