Abstract
The present invention provides a continuous
and cost effective chemo-enzymatic process for
fractionation of holocellulose, obtained from agriwaste,
into arabinoxylooligosaccharides,
xylooligosaccharides and cellooligosaccharides,
suitable for commercial applications. The process
comprises of mixing the holocellulose with an
aqueous medium in a controlled condition to
obtain an aqueous extract comprising of soluble
arabinoxylooligosaccharides and insoluble solid
fraction; followed by treatment of the solid fraction
with an aqueous alkali solution at controlled
condition to obtain soluble xylooligosaccharides
and cellulose residue. The cellulose residue is
thereafter suspended in aqueous acid solution
followed by treatment with an enzyme at
controlled condition to obtain soluble
cellooligosaccharides. The
arabinoxylooligosaccharides,
xylooligosaccharides and cellooligosaccharides
obtained from the process have a degree of
polymerization greater than 4.
Description
FIELD OF INVENTION
The présent invention relates to a continuons, efficient and inexpensive chemo-enzymatic sequential process for fractionation of oligosaccharides into arabinoxylooligosaccharides, xylooligosaccharides and cellooligosaccharides, suitable for commercial applications, from agri waste.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
Oligosaccharides form an important group of polymeric carbohydrate that is extensively used as food additives and nutritional suppléments. Oligosaccharides are composed of monomeric sugar units linked by glycosidic bond with a degree of polymerization 2 to 10. They are hydrolyzed readily by acid or enzyme to their respective monomeric sugar constituents. Oligosaccharides provide several health benefits which make them useful as food additives. Physiochemical and physiological property of the oligosaccharide vary depending on the mixture of oligosaccharide produced. Oligosaccharides having degree of polymerization 3 to 10 are prebiotic, with low colorific value, and are used as soluble dietary fiber.
Oligosaccharides are produced either by non-enzymatic methods or enzymatic methods. Nonenzymatic methods involve extraction of oligosaccharides from naturel source and chemical synthesis using monosaccharides or disaccharides as starting material. Enzymatic methods involve synthesis of oligosaccharides using glycosidases and glycotransferases as catalyst and enzymatic hydrolysis of polysaccharides into oligosaccharides.
Production of oligosaccharides from agri-waste leads to exploitation of agri-waste, such as shell, bran, husk, hull, cob and oilseed meal, which is otherwise used as animal feed. These wastes contain majorly of cellulose and hemicellulose along with proteins, phytochemicals and lignin. Ail these constituents are arranged in a complex polymeric matrix which prevents accessibility of polysaccharides for hydrolysis. However, thermo-chemical treatment provides amenable biomass which when further subjected to controlled enzymatic hydrolysis helps to achieve a high yield of oligosaccharides of desired properties. Production of bioactive oligosaccharides from easily available agri-waste gives promising benefits to agro-based industry.
The available prior art provide various methods for manufacture of oligosaccharides from biomass. These methods involve the use of either microbial cell or enzymes for breakdown of biomass into oligosaccharides. However, the methods described in the prior art require spécifie enzymes for 1 production of oligosaccharides. The methods described in the prior art produce mixture of oligosaccharide which require downstream operations for its purification, thereby increasing the cost of production.
US5246840 discloses a method for synthesis of oligosaccharides by using glycosidases and glycotransferases as catalysts. Oligosaccharide synthesis was achieved by combining glycosidase catalyzed synthesis of shorter oligosaccharides with glycotransferase catalyzed synthesis of higher oligosaccharides.
US4677198 discloses a process for the préparation of oligosaccharides-containing products from biomass, which provides use of hydrochloric acid for partial hydrolysis of biomass to easily fermentable oligosaccharides containing products and easy recovery of acid. These oligosaccharides were further subjected to fermentation for préparation of products like éthanol.
JP2008136376 describes a process for production of acidic xylooligosaccharides, from wheat /rice bran. In this process, acidic xylooligosaccharides was obtained after hot water treatment, under acidic condition of pH range of 1.0-4.0, or under alkaline condition of pH range of 9.0-13.0 of wheat bran or rice bran at température in between 100-150°C followed by ion exchange treatment. The process yields acidic xylooligosaccharides, having degree of polymerization 2-5.
EP1304412 discloses a method for production of xylooligosaccharides from lignocellulosic pulp using enzymes, which comprises enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulose pulp using hemicellulases followed by membrane séparation to obtain non permeate fraction with high concentration of xylooligosaccharides-lignin mixture which was further treated to recover xylooligosaccharides.
US4908311 discloses a method for cellooligosaccharide from cellulose-base substance by enzymes. Cellulase produced by microorganism belonging to the Genus Cellvibrio was used as catalyst for enzymatic break down of cellulose material. Enzymatic hydrolysis in combination with membrane filtration reactor helps in removal of inhibitors and accumulation of cellooligosaccharides.
US7947656 describe a process for production of cellooligosaccharides by enzymatically decomposing a cellulose material. The process consisting of breakdown of cellulosic material, having an average degree of polymerization not greater than 700 and average particle size not greater than 100, using cellulase to selectively produce cellooligosaccharides.
US20110020498 discloses a process for préparation of (arabino) xylan oligosaccharides from wheat bran using endoxylanase. Further process includes destarching, deproteination followed by enzyme hydrolysis with endoxylanase from Bacillus subtilis. The purification of (arabino) xylan oligosaccharide was done with ion exchange chromatography. This process was produced (arabino) xylan oligosaccharides with average degree of polymerization between 4 and 10 with average degree of arabinose substitution between 0.15 and 0.35 and has good organoleptic and color properties.
US20100021975 describes a process for production of xylooligosaccharides by cold caustic extraction of pulp obtained after cooking process. The process involves cold caustic extraction of xylan followed by membrane séparation process to obtain xylan enrich retentate. This xylan fraction is further processed by hydro-thermolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis for conversion of xylan into xylooligosaccharides.
US20090062232 describes method for préparation of high purity xylooligosaccharides from plant material comprising of alkali treatment, pressure and heat treatment of plant material followed by solid-liquid séparation. Solid residue was further subjected to enzyme hydrolysis using xylanases. Crude saccharide extract was concentrated followed by the desalting and active carbon treatment to produce high purity xylooligosaccharides composition free from UV absorbing substances and coloring impurities.
US20110244073 describes a method for préparation of arabinoxylan and arabinoxylooligosaccharides. The process for préparation of water soluble arabinoxylan includes hot water treatment of water-unextracted arabinoxylan in the presence of thermostable amylase followed by addition of éthanol to final concentration of 70/30(v/v) ethanol/water after cooling to 70°C.
US5633032 describes a method for préparation of cereal extracts. In this process cereal bran material obtained from milling was subjected to alkali treatment at température 70-80°C followed by solid-liquid séparation. Insoluble residue was again treated with alkaline hydrogen peroxide at 70
80°C followed by solid-liquid séparation. Soluble fraction was then spray dried and used as adhesive and thickening agent.
