Microbial Conversion of Woody Waste into Sugars and Feedstuff (I) - Optimal Delignification condition with alkaline peroxide for enzymatic hydrolysis of poplar wood

미생물(微生物)에 의한 목질자원(木質資源)의 당화(糖化) 및 사료화(飼料化)에 관(關)한 연구(硏究) (I) - alkaline peroxide에 의한 현사시나무의 효소가수분해를 위한 탈리그닌화의 적정조건

Alakline peroxide pretreatment for the delignification of poplar wood was performed. sinceit is a simple and efficent method for enhancing the enzymatic digestibility of wood residues. Approximately one-half of their lignin and most of the hemicellulose present in poplar wood were removed when the wood sawdust was reacted at 25$^{\circ}C$ for 100 hrs in an alkaline solution (pH 11.5) of 1% peroxide. The rate of decomposition as well as the saccharification efficiency were enhanced up to 350% and 260% respectively in comparision with those of the controll. This enhancement is comparable with that pretreated with 1% sodium hydroxide and 20% peracetic acid successively. The advantages of alkaline peroxide as delignifying agents against other chemicals were also discussed.

성(省) 에너지적 관점에서 목질자원의 식량자원화의 가능성을 검토하기 위하여 속성수종인 현사시나무를 공시수종으로 하여 alkaline peroxide를 사용하여 탈리그닌화의 적정조건을 규명하였던 바, 25$^{\circ}C$에서 100시간 동안 1% $H_2O_2$(pH 11.5)로 반응시킨 것이 당화율과 분해율이 가장 높았다. 이 조건하에서 생산된 당은 주로 glucose and xylose로 구성돼 있으며, 당화효율과 분해율 무처리재에 비해 각각 260%와 350%의 증가를 나타냈으며, 이같은 조건은 1% NaOH와 20% Peracetic acid로 전처리한 목분의 그것과 대비될만한 것이다.
