Abstract

Despite the easing of social distancing, demand for non-face-to-face services continues to rise. Recently, the EU is pursuing a comprehensive plastic use reduction by expanding the scope of plastic use regulations for packaging plastics according to the New Cyclical Economy Action Plan(NCEAP). In response to this trend, the packaging industry is moving away from conventional non-degradable/petroleum-based plastics and conducting research on packaging materials using biodegradable plastics such as PLA(Poly Lactic Acid), PBAT(Poly Butylene Adipate-co-butylene Terephthalate). On the other hand, ginkgo leaves occur in large quantities in Korea and act as a cause of slip accidents and flooding. In this study, a method to utilize ginkgo biloba leaf as a new alternative biomass resource was proposed by producing lactic acid through pretreatment, enzymatic saccharification, and fermentation processes. For the efficiency of lactic acid production, a comparative analysis of lignin content from before and after browning was performed. In addition, the degree of glucan extraction was evaluated by applying a pretreatment method using three catalysts: hot water, sulfuric acid, and sodium hydroxide. It is difficult to expect high production of lactic acid with single process. Therefore, an integrated process operation using both the pretreated hydrolyzate and the residual solid enzymatic saccharification solution must necessarily be applied.

실내마스크 착용 해제 및 거리 두기 완화에도 불구하고 비대면 서비스가 계속되어 이루어지고 있다. 특히 음·식료품을 비롯한 농·축·수산물의 배송 수요는 증가하고 있어 이에 부가되는 플라스틱 포장 폐기물의 양이 꾸준히 증가하는 추세이다. 이에 따라 EU에서는 포장재 플라스틱의 사용을 규제하려는 방향으로 움직임을 보였다. 이러한 국제 트렌드의 흐름에 대응하여 국내 패키징 업계에서는 PLA, PBAT와 같은 생분해성 물질을 이용한 친환경 포장재 개발 연구를 활발히 진행하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 이슈에 대응하여 국내 가로수 중 상당 비중을 차지하여 식재된 은행나무의 은행잎을 lactic acid 생산에 관한 새로운 원료로 활용하고자 하였다. 은행잎은 cellulose, mannan, xylan 등의 다당류를 함유하고 있으며 대량의 원료를 얻을 수 있다는 유용한 특징이 있다. 본 연구를 통해 전처리한 은행추출부산물의 glucan은 단일 분획 공정으로는 높은 수율을 기대하기 어렵다고 판단되어지며, 낮은 수욜 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 전처리 가수분해액, 효소당화액을 모두 활용하는 통합 공정이 필수적으로 적용되어야 한다.
