Malt sprouts are an affordable raw material for the isolation of target components, because they have a favorable chemical composition and low cost. Due to the fact that the high content of dietary fiber (up to 18,5%) prevents the absorption of a number of macro- and micronutrients, a series of experiments was conducted, including enzymatic hydrolysis of malt sprouts at different values of the following factors: temperature, duration of enzymatic hydrolysis, malt sprouts concentration (substrate concentration) and the concentration of the enzyme preparation. Celluclast BG (JSC “Novozymes”) with a cellulolytic activity of 3500 u/g was used as an enzyme preparation. Dry matter content in the hydrolysate was taken as an optimization parameter. The results of the experiments were processed by the program Statistica 12.0. The influence of temperature is nonlinear, which implies the existence of some optimal range of action of this factor. The effect of the duration of enzymatic hydrolysis and the concentration of the substrate is significant only with paired interaction of these factors, while simultaneous increase of their values has a negative effect on the dry matter accumulation. The effect of the concentration of the enzyme preparation on the dry matter yield is a linear positive dependence. It was established that the dry matter content in the hydrolysate reaches the maximum values and it is not less than 5.5 % at a temperature of 50.2 C, with the duration of the process of 150 min, the concentration of the substrate of 0.09 and the concentration of the enzyme preparation of 0.04%.
The article presents the results of a study of the enzymatic hydrolysis of barley malt sprouts by cellulolytic enzymes. The influence of the process parameters (temperature, substrate concentration, concentration of the enzyme preparation, duration of the process) on the output of dry substances in the hydrolysate is shown. The results of the experiments were presented by a mathematical model of the process and graphically-in the form of surface projections reflecting the mutual influence of each possible pair of factors on the dry matter content in the hydrolysate. It is found that all the studied factors have an effect on the accumulation of dry substances in the hydrolysate. As a result of optimization the parameters of the enzymatic hydrolysis process, the following parameter values were obtained: temperature - 50 ˚С, duration of enzymatic hydrolysis-89 min, substrate concentration - 0.37 (hydromodule 1:10), concentration of the enzyme preparation - 0.05 %.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
