Description

PROCESSO ENZIMÁTICO A FRIO PARA PRODUÇÃO DE ETANOL CAMPO DA INVENÇÃO  COLD ENZYMATIC PROCESS FOR ETHANOL PRODUCTION FIELD OF THE INVENTION

A presente invenção descreve um processo enzimático a frio para produção de etanol. Mais especificamente compreende um processo que utiliza enzima hidrolisadora de amido para fermentação e sacarificação a frio de forma simultânea.  The present invention describes a cold enzymatic process for ethanol production. More specifically it comprises a process that utilizes starch hydrolyzing enzyme for simultaneous fermentation and cold saccharification.

ANTECEDENTES DA INVENÇÃO BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Os biocombustíveis têm demonstrado um grande potencial para a substituição em escala maior dos derivados de petróleo. Cana-de- açúcar, milho, beterraba, oleaginosas como a soja, mamona, dendê, alem de biomassa vegetal como celulose, hemiceiulose e lignina se apresentam como fontes interessantes para a geração deste tipo de combustível  Biofuels have shown great potential for larger scale substitution of petroleum derivatives. Sugar cane, corn, sugar beet, oilseeds such as soybean, castor oil, palm oil, in addition to plant biomass such as cellulose, hemiceiulose and lignin are interesting sources for the generation of this type of fuel.

O etanol <CH3 CH2OH), também chamado álcool etílico e, na linguagem corrente, simplesmente álcool, é uma substância Orgânica obtida da fermentação de açúcares, hidratação do etileno ou redução a acetaideido. Ethanol <CH 3 CH 2 OH), also called ethyl alcohol and, in ordinary language, simply alcohol, is an Organic substance obtained from the fermentation of sugars, hydration of ethylene or reduction to acetoide.

No Brasil, o etanol é muito utilizado como combustível de motores de explosão, constituindo assim um mercado em ascensão para um combustível obtido de maneira renovável e o estabelecimento de uma indústria de química de base, sustentada na utilização de biomassa de origem agrícola e renovável.  In Brazil, ethanol is widely used as a fuel for explosion engines, thus constituting a growing market for renewable fuel and the establishment of a basic chemical industry, sustained by the use of biomass of agricultural and renewable origin.

O processo de produção de etanol divide-se em três grandes etapas: a) preparo da matéria-príma, com o pré-cozimento até a gelatinização, hidrólise/sacarificação com a adição de α-amilase e glucoamilase (sacar ificante); fermentação e destilação.  The ethanol production process is divided into three major stages: a) preparation of the raw material, pre-cooking to gelatinization, hydrolysis / saccharification with the addition of α-amylase and glucoamylase (saccharifying); fermentation and distillation.

A hidrólise enzimática e a fermentação podem ocorrer em separado ou simultaneamente. No caso de ocorrer em separado, a vantagem é a possibilidade de otimização das temperaturas da hidrólise enzimática e da fermentação, onde na hidrólise enzimática a celulose é quebrada em celobiose, e esta é, subsequentemente, convertida em duas moléculas de glicose pela β-giucosidase. Entretanto, a atividade da endogiucanase é inibida pela celobiose e a da β-glucosidase pela glicose. Enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation may occur separately or simultaneously. If it occurs separately, the advantage is the possibility of optimizing the enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation temperatures, where in enzymatic hydrolysis the cellulose is broken down into cellobiose, which is subsequently converted into two glucose molecules by β-giucosidase. . However, endogiucanase activity is inhibited by cellobiose and β-glucosidase activity by glucose.

A sacarificação e fermentação simultâneas é uma forma de evitar a inibição enzimática, uma vez que à medida que a glicose está sendo formada, também está sendo consumida para a produção de etanol, levando a uma maior conversão de celulose. Neste processo, é requerida uma condição intermediária de temperatura para as enzimas e para a levedura adicionada, uma vez que a temperatura ótima para a sacarificação é cerca de 55eC e 30SC para a fermentação. Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation is a way to prevent enzymatic inhibition, as as glucose is being formed it is also being consumed for ethanol production, leading to greater cellulose conversion. In this process, an intermediate temperature condition is required for the enzymes and the yeast added once the optimum temperature for saccharification is about 55 to 30 C and S C for fermentation.

No entanto, em ambos os processos de fermentação e de sacarificação de forma simultânea utilizando enzimas hidroítsadoras de amido e leveduras, são requeridas condições de temperatura e de agitação específicas e de acordo com a biomassa utilizada, em um complexo processo que engloba diversas operações, entre as quais a hidrólise da celulose.  However, in both fermentation and saccharification processes simultaneously using starch and yeast hydro-enzymes enzymes, specific temperature and agitation conditions and according to the biomass used are required in a complex process encompassing several operations, including which the cellulose hydrolysis.

Dessa forma, é objeto da presente invenção um processo enzimático a frio para produção de etanol que utiliza enzima hidrolisadora de amido para fermentação e sacarificação a frio de forma simultânea, com condições específicas de temperatura, agitação e pH.  Accordingly, it is the object of the present invention a cold enzymatic process for ethanol production that uses starch hydrolyzing enzyme for simultaneous fermentation and cold saccharification, with specific temperature, stirring and pH conditions.
