Cinética de hidrólisis enzimática del raquis de banano para la producción de azúcares fermentables.

Abstract

The continued exploitation of the non-renewable resource (petroleum) as a source of energy continues to threaten society and the environment. For this reason, global research on obtaining bioenergy to minimize and replace non-renewable resources is increasing dramatically. New biotechnologies are multiplying to produce these resources with high added value, great economic viability and very sustainable, offering value for the environment, collective equality and partial substitution of oil. These biotechnologies are carried out thanks to various microorganisms capable of degrading, transforming or hydrolyzing the sugars (monosaccharide - disaccharides - polysaccharides) of the lignocellulosic biomass where we have the skins of fruits and vegetables, organic waste, residues of agricultural processes such as the banana rachis, use this waste as a raw material to produce fermentable sugars followed by a bioconversion to obtain energy sources such as bioethanol, being a renewable resource that integrates a great contribution to sustainable development for countries in order to derive the best use of energy production. The study consisted in determining the kinetics of enzymatic hydrolysis of rachis banana to produce fermentable sugars to apply it to a bioconversion into ethanol by the reuse of agricultural residues. In this case, it is the rachis banana, these sugars are used to generate products with high added value which are experiencing great development, in order to partially replace conventional fuels and to contribute to energy, protection and environmental diversity and to '' apply new energy technologies.
