Inulinase and fructooligosaccharide production from carob using Aspergillus niger A42 (ATCC 204447) under solid-state fermentation conditions. Int J Biol Macromol 2023:125520. [PMID: 37353118 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.125520] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Revised: 06/06/2023] [Accepted: 06/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/25/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to the production of inulinase and fructooligosaccharides (FOSs) from carob under the solid-state fermentation (SSF) conditions by using Plackett-Burman Design (PBD). Based on the results the maximum inulinase and specific inulinase activities were 249.98 U/mL and 318.29 U/mg protein, respectively. When the fructooligosaccharide (FOS) results were evaluated, the maximum values of 1,1,1-Kestopentaose, 1,1-Kestotetraose, and 1-Kestose were 182.01, 506.16, 132.16 ppm while the lowest and highest total FOS values were 179.35 and 516.66 ppm, respectively. On the other hand, it was observed that the maximum inulinase activity was found at the center points of the design. Therefore, validation fermentations were carried out at center point conditions. Subsequently, the yielded bulk enzyme extracts were partially purified using Spin-X UF membranes with 10, 30, and 50 kDa cut-off values. After purification, the maximum inulinase activity was 247.30 U/mg using a 50 kDa cut-off value. Followed by this process, the purified enzyme was used to produce FOSs and the results indicated that the maximum total FOS amount was 28,712.70 ppm. Consequently, this study successfully demonstrates that Aspergillus niger A42 inulinase produced from carob under the SSF conditions can be used in FOSs production.

Abstract
Short chain fructo-oligosaccharides (SC-FOS) are the potential prebiotics possessing diverse applications in both food and feed industries. The present study was aimed to extract inulin from chicory roots followed by its conversion into SC-FOS applying endoinulinase from Aspergillus fumigatus. The inulin was extracted from chicory roots through boiling in hot water, followed by precipitation with ethanol at room temperature or freezing condition. Maximum yield (42%) of inulin was obtained with three volumes of chilled absolute ethanol at room temperature. HPLC analysis of enzymatic hydrolysate detected kestose (GF2), nystose (GF3), and other FOS having higher degree of polymerization (DP). Maximum GF2 (5.79 mg/ml) was detected at temperature 50 °C, pH 5.5 with 2 U of enzyme dose after 6 h of hydrolysis; while maximum GF3 (4.33 mg/ml) was recorded at 60 °C, 5.5 pH with 0.5 U enzyme dose after 2 h of hydrolysis. Nevertheless, complete hydrolysis of inulin was noticed with 99% total oligosaccharide yield at 55 °C, 5.5 pH with 0.5 U enzyme dose after 4 h of hydrolysis with negligible amount of mono- and di-saccharides. The present finding demonstrated the process for higher yield of inulin from chicory roots followed by its conversion into SC-FOS applying fungal endoinulinase.

Abstract
Inulinases are used for the production of high-fructose syrup and fructooligosaccharides, and are widely utilized in food and pharmaceutical industries. In this study, different carbon sources were screened for inulinase production by Aspergillus niger in shake flask fermentation. Optimum working conditions of the enzyme were determined. Additionally, some properties of produced enzyme were determined [activation (Ea)/inactivation (Eia) energies, Q10 value, inactivation rate constant (kd), half-life (t1/2), D value, Z value, enthalpy (ΔH), free energy (ΔG), and entropy (ΔS)]. Results showed that sugar beet molasses (SBM) was the best in the production of inulinase, which gave 383.73 U/mL activity at 30 °C, 200 rpm and initial pH 5.0 for 10 days with 2% (v/v) of the prepared spore solution. Optimum working conditions were 4.8 pH, 60 °C, and 10 min, which yielded 604.23 U/mL, 1.09 inulinase/sucrase ratio, and 2924.39 U/mg. Additionally, Ea and Eia of inulinase reaction were 37.30 and 112.86 kJ/mol, respectively. Beyond 60 °C, Q10 values of inulinase dropped below one. At 70 and 80 °C, t1/2 of inulinase was 33.6 and 7.2 min; therefore, inulinase is unstable at high temperatures, respectively. Additionally, t1/2, D, ΔH, ΔG values of inulinase decreased with the increase in temperature. Z values of inulinase were 7.21 °C. Negative values of ΔS showed that enzymes underwent a significant process of aggregation during denaturation. Consequently, SBM is a promising carbon source for inulinase production by A. niger. Also, this is the first report on the determination of some properties of A. niger A42 (ATCC 204,447) inulinase.

Abstract
Prebiotic substances are extracted from various plant materials or enzymatic hydrolysis of different substrates. The production of fructo-oligosaccharide (FOS) and inulo-oligosaccharide (IOS) was performed by applying two substrates, sucrose and inulin; oligosaccharide yields were maximized using central composite design to evaluate the parameters influencing oligosaccharide production. Inulin from Jerusalem artichoke (5-15% w/v), sucrose (50-70% w/v), and inulinase from Aspergillus niger (2-7 U/g) were used as variable parameters for optimization. Based on our results, the application of sucrose and inulin as co-substrates for oligosaccharide production through inulinase hydrolysis and synthesis is viable in comparative to a method using a single substrate. Maximum yields (674.82 mg/g substrate) were obtained with 5.95% of inulin, 59.87% of sucrose, and 5.68 U/g of inulinase, with an incubation period of 9 hr. The use of sucrose and inulin as co-substrates in the reaction simultaneously produced FOS and IOS from sucrose and inulin. Total conversion yield was approximately 67%. Our results support the high value-added production of oligosaccharides using Jerusalem artichoke, which is generally used as a substrate in prebiotics and/or bioethanol production.

Abstract
The aim of this study was obtain a model that maximizes growth and production of inulinase and invertase by Aspergillus niger ATCC 20611, employing response surface methodology (RSM). The RSM with a five-variable and three-level central composite design (CCD) was employed to optimize the medium composition. Results showed that the experimental data could be appropriately fitted into a second-order polynomial model with a coefficient of determination (R2) more than 0.90 for all responses. This model adequately explained the data variation and represented the actual relationships between the parameters and responses. The pH and temperature value of the cultivation medium were the most significant variables and the effects of inoculum size and agitation speed were slightly lower. The intra-extracellular inulinase, invertase production and biomass content increased 10-32 fold in the optimized medium condition (pH 6.5, temperature 30°C, 6% (v/v), inoculum size and 150rpm agitation speed) by RSM compared with medium optimized through the one-factor-at-a-time method. The process development and intensification for simultaneous production of intra-extracellular inulinase (exo and endo inulinase) and invertase from A. niger could be used for industrial applications.

Abstract
Inulinases are important hydrolysing enzymes which specifically act on β-2, 1 linkages of inulin to produce fructose or fructooligosaccharides. Fungi, yeasts and bacteria are the potent microbial sources of inulinases. The data on bacterial inulinases is scarce as compared to other microbial sources. Inulinases yield from bacteria is very less as compared to fungal and yeast sources of inulinases. Submerged fermentation (SmF) is the method of choice for the production of inulinases from bacterial sources. Moreover, inulin is a potent substrate for the production of inulinases in SmF. Many bacterial inulinases have been reported to display magnificent environment abiding features and variability in their biophysical and biochemical properties. These properties have attracted intention of many researchers towards exploring adverse ecological niches for more distinctive inulinase producing bacterial strains. Inulinases are substantially important in current biotechnological era due to their numerous industrial applications. High fructose syrup and fructooligosaccharides are two major industrial applications of inulinases. Additionally, there are many reports on the production of various metabolites like citric acid, lactic acid, ethanol, biofuels, butanediol etc. using mixed cultures of inulinase producing organisms with other microorganisms. The present review mainly envisages inulinase producing bacterial sources, inulinase production, purification, characterization and their applications.

Abstract
An extracellular endoinulinase from Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli KM 24 mutant was purified to homogeneity by gel filtration chromatography and showed a specific activity of 119 U/mg. The optimum pH and temperature of the purified enzyme were found to be 6.0 and 50 °C, respectively. The enzyme was stable up to 60 °C, retaining 60% of residual activity for 30 min, but inactivated rapidly above 60 °C. The enzyme was found to be stable at pH=6-9 when it retained 100% of its residual activity. The Lineweaver-Burk plot showed that the apparent Km and vmax values of the inulinase when using inulin as a substrate were 1.15 mg/mL and 0.15 µM/min, respectively, whereas the kcat value was found to be 0.145 min-1. The calculated catalytic efficiency of the enzyme was found to be 0.126 (mg·min)/mL. The purified inulinase can be used in the production of high fructose syrups.

Abstract
The study is to identify the extraction of intracellular inulinase (exo- and endoinulinase) and invertase as well as optimization medium composition for maximum productions of intra- and extracellular enzymes from Aspergillus niger ATCC 20611. From two different methods for extraction of intracellular enzymes, ultrasonic method was found more effective. Response surface methodology (RSM) with a five-variable and three-level central composite design (CCD) was employed to optimize the medium composition. The effect of five main reaction parameters including sucrose, yeast extract, NaNO3, Zn+2, and Triton X-100 on the production of enzymes was analyzed. A modified quadratic model was fitted to the data with a coefficient of determination (R2) more than 0.90 for all responses. The intra-extracellular inulinase and invertase productions increased in the range from 16 to 8.4 times in the optimized medium (10% (w/v) sucrose, 2.5% (w/v) yeast extract, 2% (w/v) NaNO3, 1.5 mM (v/v) Zn+2, and 1% (v/v) Triton X-100) by RSM and from around 1.2 to 1.3 times greater than in the medium optimized by one-factor-at-a-time, respectively. The results of bioprocesses optimization can be useful in the scale-up fermentation and food industry.

Abstract
Worldwide interest in prebiotics have been increasing extensively both as food ingredients and pharmacological supplements, since they have beneficial properties for human health. Prebiotics not only stimulate the growth of healthy bacteria such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli in the gut but also increase the resistance towards pathogens. In addition to this, they also act as dietary fiber, an energy source for intestinal cells after converting to short-chain fatty acids, a stimulator of immune systems, sugar replacer etc. Moreover, due to heat resistant properties, they are able to maintain their intact form during the baking process and allow them to be incorporated into every day food products. Thus, they can be interesting and useful ingredients in the development of novel functional foods. This review provides comprehensive information about the different biotechnological techniques employed in the production of prebiotics and their potential applications in different areas.
