IntroducciónAt present, large cities that do not have a solid waste separation system and subsequent use are facing the rapid use of their sanitary landfills and a decrease in their environmental quality due to this problem. Objetivos
MétodoIn the present work, lemon and orange residues have been used, with a characterization of samples with the following parameters: moisture (%), ash (%), fat (%w/v), protein (%w/v), reducing sugars (RS) (%w/w), and carbohydrates (%w/w). Since the residues have a significant amount of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, a controlled process was applied through the use of treatments such as thermal hydrolysis (TH), by using were the autoclave with a temperature of 121°C, at a pressure of 1 atm for 20 min, and enzymatic hydrolysis (EH), with cellulase enzyme of the Aspergillus sp. species (Sigma Aldrich), which release reducing sugars (RS), and the subsequent measurement of ethanol obtained by using a gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC-FID). Principales ResultadosThe results obtained by the thermal and enzymatic action on the lemon residues increased the amount of reducing sugars from 3.99 g / L (initial residue) to 7.65 g / L. ConclusionesThe production of ethanol from the residues were affected since in the fermentation there could be a yeast inhibition process, mainly in the orange residues, due to the high content of essential oils such as limonene and pinene in addition to flavonoids especially hesperidin, elements that could be formed during the thermal hydrolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis processes. |
