Assessment of the benefits of wort supplementation with inorganic nutrients in the bioethanol production process
Research Square (Research Square)(2023)
摘要
Abstract The scarcity of mineral nutrients in the wort for bioethanol production has been a constant concern within the industrial scale. Serious damage to the production process can be pointed out, such as compromising the vitality of the yeast ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells). This paper evaluated the mineral amounts of ions metals in the industrial fermentation process. A balance of minerals indicated the necessity of yeasts for certain chemical elements, making measurable the levels necessary for the respective supplementation. Through this, laboratory-scale fermentation assays were carried out with different conditions (20, 24 e 26 ° Brix ) that determined the main productivity parameters in response to the application of two commercial nutrients in a combined way. Among the conditions evaluated, the assays with 24 and 26 ° Brix supplemented with the line of inorganic nutrients ™Nitrofós presented better results, increasing the fermentative efficiency by 7 percentage points compared to the control (without product). Fermentations supplemented with the product showed higher levels of cellular vitality, indicating an increase in glucose-reducing metabolism through the nutrition of S. cerevisiae . Considering a scale-up of the bioethanol production process with supplementation of ™Nitrofós accounted for gains of 266 m³ of ethanol/month more than the control group, savings of R$ 586,879.20.
