Optimization of Inferior Banana Saccharifiction with Response Surface Methodology

Abstract:

A study was implemented, referring to inferior banana saccharification on the glycosylation interaction of α-amylase and Aspergillus niger. During the experiment of defective banana saccharification, the interaction of the additive amount of α-amylase, Aspergillus niger, initial pH, saccharification temperature and saccharification time was analyzed. On the basis of confirmation of solid-to-liquid ratio of inferior bananas, saccharification temperature and additive amount of α-amylase, the interaction of the additive amount of Aspergillus niger, the initial pH and saccharification time in the different response surface was experimented and analyzed, then the optimal proportions of glycosylation saccharifying inferior bananas were as follows: Aspergillus niger 0.5%, saccharification time 7 h, pH 4.61. Brix of reducing sugar is 16.693 mg/g.
