A study of the enzymatic transformation of cassava starch in ultrafiltration membrane reactors
thesis
posted on 2018-03-20, 17:02 authored by Rual Lopez-UlibarriThe enzymatic saccharification of starch with Aspergillus niger glucoamylase (GA)
and the isomerisation of glucose to fructose with Actinoplanes missouriensis glucose
isomerase (GI) were selected as model system to explore the possibilities of using
ultrafiltration membrane (UF) devices as enzymatic membrane reactors (EMR).
Cassava flour was the substrate for the production of glucose syrups in two different
configurations of EMR: a dead-end cell (EMR1) and a continuous stirred tank
recycled through a hollow fibre device (HFMR). The optimisation of the process in
the latter was also investigated. [Continues.]
