Abstract | The work describes process development for detoxification of corncob hydrolysate using activated carbon for microbial xylitol production. Activated carbon was used as an adsorbent to completely remove the major fermentation inhibitors obtained during dilute acid and steam explosion of biomass. A xylitol yield of 0.78 g/g was achieved from the detoxified hydrolysate in a 5 L fermenter by Pichia caribbica. The spent carbon was effectively regenerated and used for three consecutive cycles of operation. The successive regeneration and reuse of carbon could reduce the operational cost by similar to 38% and be used as a reference dataset for process scale-up and cost-effective xylitol production. |
