Abstract
- Tomato pomace, a solid by-product of tomato processing industries, was assessed for the first time as a feedstock for acetone-butanol-ethanol-isopropanol (ABEI) fermentation. After the pretreatment with hydrothermal process and enzymatic hydrolysis of tomato pomace with a 20% solid-to-solvent ratio, a broth containing 44.1 g/L total sugars was obtained (61.0% saccharification yield). Twelve Clostridium strains were compared to find an appropriate microorganism for the transformation of tomato pomace hydrolysate. Four of these strains produced 0.22–5.95 g/L acetone, 5.82–7.00 g/L butanol, 0.17–0.39 g/L ethanol, 0.05–8.28 g/L isopropanol and 11.03–15.07 g/L ABEI. The strain C. beijerinckii DSM 6423 obtained 2.67 g butanol, 2.99 g isopropanol and 5.92 g ABEI from 100 g dry tomato pomace (containing 30.6 g carbohydrates). In addition, another pretreatment was performed with a 30% solid-to-solvent ratio in order to obtain higher sugar concentrations, obtaining a hydrolysate with 85.1 g/L total sugars (66.8% saccharification efficiency), which was employed for bioethanol production by comparing twelve different yeast and bacterial strains. Kluyveromyces marxianus DSM 5422, Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ethanol Red®, S. cerevisiae Hércules and Lachancea thermotolerans DSM 3434 produced 20.1–21.7 g/L ethanol (about 5.21 g ethanol per 100 g dry tomato pomace). According to these results, tomato pomace could be an interesting feedstock for ABEI biorefineries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
