Parametric study on the hydrolosis of dried saba (Musa paradisiaca) feels using different solid loadings, dilute sulfuric acid concentrations, and temperature

The effect of solid loading, acid concentration, and temperature were studied in the hydrolysis of saba (Musa paradisiaca) peels. Solid loadings of 6.67%, 10% and 20% (w/v), sulfuric acid concentration s of 1%, 2.5% and 5% (v/v), and temperature of 32°C( room temperature), 50°C and 70°C were used in the hydrolysis set-ups. Results showed that the 20% solid loading formed very viscous mixture that no hydrolyzate was obtained for the reducing sugar analysis. Solids loadings of 6.67% and 10% (w/v) maximum reducing sugar yields of 8.1% and 9.0%, respectively. The mean reducing sugar yields for... Mehr ...

The effect of solid loading, acid concentration, and temperature were studied in the hydrolysis of saba (Musa paradisiaca) peels. Solid loadings of 6.67%, 10% and 20% (w/v), sulfuric acid concentration s of 1%, 2.5% and 5% (v/v), and temperature of 32°C( room temperature), 50°C and 70°C were used in the hydrolysis set-ups. Results showed that the 20% solid loading formed very viscous mixture that no hydrolyzate was obtained for the reducing sugar analysis. Solids loadings of 6.67% and 10% (w/v) maximum reducing sugar yields of 8.1% and 9.0%, respectively. The mean reducing sugar yields for the two solid loadings were not significantly different from each other based on statistical analysis using ANOVA at α=0.05. Since the solid loading of 6.67% (w/v) was the most economical, it was the solid loading used for the determination of the effects acid concentration and temperature. Increasing the acid concentration from 1% to 5% (v/v) sulfuric acid at a constant temperature of 70°C had no significant effect in the hydrolysis of banana peels based on the reducing sugar yields obtained. This was shown by the results obtained in a 9-hr reaction. The hydrolysis set-up with 1% H₂SO₄ obtained maximum reducing sugar yield of 5.9% after 6hrs; that with 2.5% H₂SO₄ gave4.6%maximum reducing sugar yield after 3 hrs; and that with 5% H₂SO₄ gave 4.8% maximum reducing sugar yield after 2 hrs. These results were obtained in the 9-hr reaction time. For the shorter reaction time of 2 hrs, the highest reducing sugar obtained at 1%, 2.5% H₂SO₄ were 10.8%, 13.1% and 13.4% reducing sugar, respectively. Increasing the temperature also increased the reducing sugar yield of the hydrolysis of banana peels. The highest reducing sugar concentration and yield, which were 9.307g/L and 18.6% respectively. occurred at 70°C . The highest reducing sugar yields obtained for the other temperatures were 6.6% for 32°C and 88% for 50°C .
