Inulin is a fructose-based polysaccharide that can be found in several plant species, from grass and onions to chicory roots; thus, it has the potential to be an excellent renewable source of fructose for several industrial applications. Among them, inulin hydrolysis can be coupled to a fermentation operation to produce polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) using Cupriavidusnecator H16. This work reports the PHB production process involving chicory root inulin hydrolysis using inulinase Novozym 960 followed by a C.necator fermentation. It was found that the maximum saccharification (95% wt.) was reached at 269 U/ginulin after 90 min. The hydrolysates obtained were then inoculated with C.necator, leading to a biomass concentration of 4 g/L with 30% (w/w) polymer accumulation. Although PHB production was low, during the first hours, the cell growth and polymer accumulation detected did not coincide with a fructose concentration decrease, suggesting a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process, potentially alleviating the product inhibition inherent to the inulinase–fructose system. The characterization of the obtained PHB showed a polymer with more homogeneous values of Mw, and better thermal stability than PHB produced using pure fructose as a fermentation substrate. The results obtained demonstrate a viable alternative carbon substrate for PHB production, opening the possibility for inulin-rich renewable feedstock valorization.
