Technical viability of the production, partial purification and characterisation of inulinase using pretreated agroindustrial residues.
The present work aimed to study the viability of the use of sugarcane molasses and corn steep liquor (CSL) in a sequential inulinase production performing an up-stream pretreatment of these agroindustrial residues. A sequential strategy was used applying three central composite rotatable designs (CCRDs) to optimise medium composition, followed by a down-stream step. The medium containing 150 g L(-1) molasses, 50 g L(-1) CSL and 6 g L(-1) yeast extract, yielded a maximum inulinase production of 1,294 +/- 7 U mL(-1), after 72 h of fermentation. A down-stream evaluation was carried out using an expanded bed of Streamline DAE resin (Pharmacia), with and without the up-stream treatment. The results showed that the enzyme could not be recovered from the non-pretreated medium, whereas a yield of 91% was obtained in the adsorption stage from the medium prepared with the up-stream treatment, showing the viability of producing the enzyme inulinase from agroindustrial residues using the integrated process.
