METHOD OF SEPARATING ACIDS AND SUGARS RESULTING FROM STRONG ACID HYDROLYSIS
METHOD OF USING YEAST TO RECOVER PHYTIN BY PRECIPITATION FROM CORNSTEEP LIQUOR OR LIGHT STEEP WATER
Farone William A; Cuzens John E h'vine, CA, UNITED STATES Assigned to Arkenoi lnc A economically viable method for producing sugars using concentrated acid hydrolysis of biomass containing cellulose and hemicellulose is disclosed. The cellulose and hemicelluiose in the biomass is first decrystallized and then hydrolyzed to produce a hydrolysate containing both sugars and acid. Sifica present in the biomass can then be removed for further processing. The remaining solids are then subjected to a second decrystallization and hydrolyzation to optimize the sugar yields. An improved method for separating the sugars from the acid in the hydrolysate is also disclosed. The resulting sugar stream can then be fermented, using an improved method which allows both hexose and pentose sugars to be fermented simultaneously.
l e e Youl-Lark; Park Sang-Jae Seoul, REPUBLIC OF KOREA Assigned to Doosan Technical Center A process for recovery of phytin with a higher purity comprises the steps of preparing LSW or CSL, inoculating a yeast into LSW or CSL culturing the yeast therein to precipitate phytin and separating phyim by sedimentation. The method may comprise a further step of adding salt into CSL to accelerate the formation of phyfin precipitate and increase the yield of phytin.
