INTRODUCTION

Sugarcane bagasse (Saccharum officinarum) is a byproduct of the extraction process

or milking cane liquid. From one mill generated bagasse approximately 35-40% of the weight

of the milled sugar cane (Winston & Sumiarsih, 1992). Bagasse contains most of ligno-

cellulose are composed of lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose. Lignocellulose is a substrate

that can be renewed, most are not used and is available in abundance (Taherzadeh and

Karimi, 2007). Pretreatment physical, chemical, and biological can produce fuel ethanol from

lignocellulosic (Taherzadeh and Karimi, 2008). Physical and chemical methods can be used

to separate cellulose from lignin layer by minimizing the particle size and swelling of

cellulose particles through the pre-treatment (Roehr, 2001). In this study, reduction of size in

sugar cane bagasse done on size 30 mesh (0.595 mm).

Chemical hydrolysis with sulfuric acid can be performed on berlignoselulosa

materials with specific time and temperature can be produced four main components namely

carbohydrate polymers (cellulose, hemicellulose), lignin, extractive materials, and ash.

Further elaborate polysaccharide polymers into a single sugar monomers (Morohoshi, 1991),

so the enzyme is more easily hydrolyze these compounds into monomers more simple sugars

(Taherzadeh and Karimi, 2007). Enzyme hydrolysis of sugarcane bagasse can be done with

the addition of cellulase enzymes, and aimed hemiselulase hydrolyze cellulose and

hemicellulose into sugar monomers.

Using a combination of acid hydrolysis and enzyme more effectively and efficiently

produce DE value of about 65% (Langlois & Dale (1940) in Tjokroadikoesoemo, 1986). he

last stage is fermentation with culture P. stipitis, S. cerevisiae, and Z. mobilis. Fermentation is

the anaerobic catabolic process with the help of enzymes microorganisms without the

electron transfer chain and organic compounds serve as electron acceptor (Campbell et al.,

1999). Sugar cane bagasse hydrolysates containing C-5 and C-6. P. stipitis and Candida

shehateae silosa and able to ferment hexoses with the result that relatively high, low ethanol

tolerant, and can produce ethanol concentrations above 30-35 g / l so that it can inhibit other

reactions. According Rouhollah (2007), S. cerevisiae has the ability to ferment glucose,

maltose, and aerobic trehalosa to ethanol. However, S. cerevisiae is not able to survive on

high concentrations of ethanol produced during fermentation. In addition, S. cerevisiae is not

able to ferment silosa because they do not have silosa silitol reductase and dehydrogenase

(Gaur, 2006). Z. mobilis is a bacterium that has the properties is more tolerant of ethanol with

the concentration levels of 2.5-15% for plasma membrane structure containing a compound

hopanoid and sterols (Gunasekaran and Raj, 2005). Z. mobilis is more tolerant of compounds

in the hydrolyzate inhibitors, a higher ethanol production, fermentation at low pH, grown on

high sugar concentrations (Kompala et al., 2001).

In this study, sugar cane bagasse through the stages of size reduction, pre-treatment, a

combination of acid hydrolysis - are expected to aimlessly enzymes capable hydrolyzate

sugar fermented by P. stipitis, S. cerevisiae, and Z. mobilis to ethanol.

Figure 1. Effect of sulfuric acid concentration, temperature, and time of heating steam to the reducing sugar concentration (g / L)

Treatment with H2SO4 concentration of 2% (w / w), heating temperature of 120oC for 60

minutes produced the highest reducing sugar concentration of 27.65 g / L with a DE value of

54.88%. This means that 45.12% of reducing sugar is still not hydrolyzed. At this stage

produced the type of reducing sugar glucose, silosa, and arabinose. These results prove that

the use of higher H2SO4 concentration can reduce the length of hydrolysis, whereas the use

of a lower hydrolysis temperatures require longer hydrolysis time. In research Guraf & Geeta

(2007), ethanol production through the pre-treatment with the help of fungi Phanerochaete

chrysosporium and Pleurotus sp concentration sugar produced from sugarcane bagasse by

2.54 mg / g.

HPLC:

This study proves that the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic material with sulfuric acid is more

effective than the use of fungi and is able to degrade lignin by 31.98% and the rest are still

bound to each other with the structure of cellulose and hemicellulose. According to Inoue

(2006), acid hydrolysis is very important to the efficiency of enzyme hydrolysis stage.

Cellulose is naturally bound by the hemicellulose and protected by lignin, which causes the

biomass of this structure is difficult to dihirolisis. The purpose of the acid hydrolysis is to

open the lignocellulosic structure for cellulose becomes more accessible to enzymes that

break down polysaccharides into monomeric sugar polymers. Because one component of

hemicellulose (glucose) has the nature of cellulose, the hemicellulose degraded earlier than

the cellulose. The combination of acid hydrolysis - Enzymes Enzymes in Various Doses

Hydrolyzate acid hydrolysis results with the addition of H2SO4 2% (w / w), temperature of

120oC for 60 minutes heating was continued for the enzyme hydrolysis step. This study used

enzyme hemiselulase and continued with the enzyme cellulase. In this stage has to be

optimized hemiselulase and cellulase enzyme dosage. From the data calculation result

obtained by reducing sugar concentration of reducing sugar concentration (g / L) of enzyme

dosage on enzyme hydrolysis.

Figure 2. Effect of enzyme dosage on the reducing sugar concentration (g / L).

Based on the results shown in Figure 4, the highest sugar concentration obtained by

the treatment and the addition of cellulase enzyme dosage hemiselulase 3 / 3, amounting to

32.00 g / L with a DE value of 63.52%. Hydrolyzed sugar polymer that has not caused the

persistence of 24.23% lignin in sugarcane bagasse acid hydrolysis results, so the enzyme

cellulase and hemiselulase difficult to degrade into reducing sugar monomers.

with cellulose and hemicellulose. This bond causes enzyme is difficult to degrade cellulose

and hemicellulose into sugar monomers reduction. Degradation of lignin in berlignoselulosa

material will affect the amount of biodegradable cellulose into reducing sugars. The higher

the lignin is degraded, the more easily break down cellulose to form reducing sugar during

hydrolysis enzyme (Harlina, 2002). The result of HPLC analysis showed that the enzyme

hydrolysis step using enzyme dosage hemiselulase 3 / 3 on sugarcane bagasse can degrade

hemicellulose into sugar monomers silosa and arabinose. While the enzyme hydrolysis using

cellulase enzyme dosage of 3 / 3 on sugarcane bagasse able to degrade cellulose to glucose

sugar monomers. The figure below shows the increase in reducing sugar concentration (g / L)

at any given stage of treatment.

Figure 3. Effect of treatment of phase reducing sugar concentration (g / L)

Fermentation

The microorganism used in fermentation of sugarcane bagasse hydrolysates include: P.

stipitis CBS 5773, S. D1/P3GI cerevisiae, and Z. mobilis FNCC 0056. Stage of fermentation

was conducted to determine the ability of each microorganism in ferment the sugar cane

bagasse hydrolyzate to ethanol.

Based on the results shown in Figure 6, the adaptation phase S. cereviseae D1/P3GI,

P. stipitis CBS 5773, and Z. mobilis FNCC happen until 0056 at the 3rd fermentation.

Adaptation phase is a phase of adjustment to new environment, where there is synthesis of

new enzyme according to the media. In this phase does not increase the number of cells but

the cell volume increases. This proves that the three microorganisms capable of using

reducing sugar from sugarcane bagasse hydrolyzate as a nutritional source of growth.

Based on the results of HPLC analysis of hydrolysed cane is used for the fermentation

process containing 23.78% glucose, 56.91% silosa, and 19.31% arabinose.

During the ongoing growth of microorganisms, pH control is imperative to maintain the

optimum pH. Decrease in pH value is very real in the first 12 hours of fermentation either by

culture of S. cereviseae D1/P3GI, P. stipitis CBS 5773, and Z. mobilis FNCC 0056. At this

stage, ethanol was formed accompanied with the decrease in pH due to formation of organic

acids. The trend of pH change caused by ammonia in the fermentation media used yeast cells

as a source of nitrogen is converted into NH4 +. NH4 + molecules will merge into the cell as

R-NH 3. In this process H + stays in the media, so that more biomass and increasing time of

fermentation causes H + ions are more and more in the substrate which causes the lower the

pH of the media (Judoamidjojo & Saeed, 1993; Fardiaz, 1988).

Based on the results of HPLC, the final stage of fermentation produced lactic acid

and acetic acid from fermentation using a culture of S. cereviseae D1/P3GI and acetic acid

from fermentation culture by Z. 0056 FNCC mobilis produced. Concentration of ethanol

produced in line with the growth of each culture and the amount of reducing sugar consumed.

In this study, Z. 0056 FNCC mobilis able to ferment sugar into ethanol hydrolyzate highest P.

stipitis CBS 5773 and S. cerevisiae D1/P3GI with a shorter fermentation time, which is 3

hours produced ethanol at 18.99 g / L.

The results of this study reinforced with literature that states that Z. mobilis is able to

change the mix of sugar into ethanol is greater 92% - 94% compared to the yeast which only

reached 88% -90% (Silalahi, 1987). It is possible or ethanol fermentation by Z. mobilis, the

conversion of glucose into two molecules of ethanol produced one molecule of ATP. The low

energy produced by ATP resulting in cell mass of the resulting low and high ethanol

produced (Jeffries, 2005).

Based on research data presented in Figure 7, the cell growth of S. cerevisiae

D1/P3GI in the first 12 hours of fermentation is constantly increasing. This means that S.

D1/P3GI cerevisiae capable of using sugar cane bagasse hydrolysates as a source of nutrition.

This can be seen from the decrease in the amount of sugar in the hydrolyzate peredukasi

accompanied with the production of ethanol amounted to 17.05 g / L. While the research

Rouhollah et al. (2007), fermentation using microorganisms Fermentative S. cerevisiae in

sugar mixture to produce ethanol 0.32 g / L per gram of glucose or by 62% with ethanol

concentrations of 14.25 g / L and ethanol productivity was 0.88 g / L / hour in 48 hours

fermentation time. This proves that S. cerevisiae D1/P3GI able to ferment sugar cane bagasse

hydrolysates with a shorter time which is 12 hours with levels of ethanol produced 17.00% g

produces ethanol 0.40 g / L per gram silosa or by 78% and ethanol concentration of 30.23 g /

L with productivity of ethanol is 0.95 g / L / hour in 72 hours fermentation time (Rouhollah et

al., 2007) . While in this study, P. stipitis CBS 5773 is able to ferment sugar cane bagasse

hydrolyzate to ethanol as much as 13.03 g / L in 24 hours fermentation time. Overall, both P.

stipitis CBS 5773, S. D1/P3GI cerevisiae, and Z. 0056 FNCC mobilis each use sugar cane

bagasse hydrolyzate in an optimal as a source of nutrition in the period 0-24 hours coupled

with the optimal ethanol production. Starting at the 24th production of ethanol from each

microorganism has decreased. This happens because the availability of sugar in the

hydrolyzate under 10 g / L or less than 1%. Meanwhile, according Budiyanto (2003) in a

Putri (2008), the optimum concentration of sugar to produce the optimum alcohol content is

14% - 28% (w / v).

From the research results obtained can be concluded :

1. Hydrolysis by sulfuric acid with a concentration of 2% (w / w), steam heating temperature

120oC for 60 minutes could be able to hydrolyze lignocellulosic sugars into simple

monomers with reducing sugar concentration of 27.65 g / L with a DE value of 54.88%

2. The best hydrolysis by enzymes in the enzyme dosage hemiselulase 0.001 g / g (1500

units), followed by the cellulase enzyme dosage 0.83 mL / g (0.6970 units). Both enzymes

are able to hydrolyze sugar cane bagasse by 63.52% with a reducing sugar content in

sugarcane bagasse hydrolyzate of 32.00 g / L.

3. Z. 0056 FNCC mobilis able to ferment sugar cane bagasse hydrolyzate to ethanol by 18.99

g / L with the fermentation time of 3 hours, S. D1/P3GI cerevisiae, is able to ferment the

sugar cane bagasse hydrolyzat to ethanol amounted to 17.05 g / L with the fermentation time

to ethanol at 13.03 g / L in 24 hours.
