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 ...
