Extraction of solubles from plant biomass for use as microbial growth stimulant and methods related thereto |
摘要 |
A method for producing a microbial growth stimulant (MGS) from a plant biomass is described. In one embodiment, an ammonium hydroxide solution is used to extract a solution of proteins and ammonia from the biomass. Some of the proteins and ammonia are separated from the extracted solution to provide the MGS solution. The removed ammonia can be recycled and the proteins are useful as animal feeds. In one embodiment, the method comprises extracting solubles from pretreated lignocellulosic biomass with a cellulase enzyme-producing growth medium (such T. reesei) in the presence of water and an aqueous extract. |

1. A method for producing a microbial growth stimulant solution from a lignocellulosic plant biomass comprising:
providing a harvested lignocellulosic plant biomass;
treating the plant biomass with an Ammonia Fiber Explosion (AFEX) process to provide a treated plant biomass; soaking the treated plant biomass in an alkaline aqueous solution of ammonium hydroxide at 25° to 70° C. to provide a soaked plant biomass in the solution;
extracting the solution from the soaked plant biomass to produce an extracted solution; separating at least some of the proteins and ammonia from the extracted solution; and
retaining the extracted solution as the microbial growth stimulant solution. |
