Abstract
Statistical experimental design was used to optimize the conditions of simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF), viz. temperature, pH and time of fermentation of ethanol from sago starch with co-immobilized amyloglucosidase (AMG) and Zymomonas mobilis MTCC 92 by submerged fermentation. Maximum ethanol concentration of 55.3 g/l was obtained using a starch concentration of 150 g/l. The optimum conditions were found to be a temperature of 32.4 °C, pH of 4.93 and time of fermentation of 17.24 h. Thus, by using SSF process with co-immobilized AMG and Z. mobilis cells MTCC 92, the central composite design (CCD) was found to be the most favourable strategy investigated with respect to ethanol production and enzyme recovery.
