Abstract:

Three different commercial cellulase preparations were used to prepare complex enzyme to increase the hydrolysis efficiency of cellulase. The formulation of cellulose complex was optimized by mixture design to attain the maximum concentration of reduced sugar in hydrolysate solution and a mathematical model describing the relationship of concentration of reduced sugar with volumes of mixed cellulases was developed. A mixture of Zesheng cellulase and Genencor cellulase at a volume ratio of 1:1 resulted in the maximum hydrolysis efficiency higher than that of individual cellulase by 39.5%. Mixture design is available for the optimization of cellulase complex formulation.

Key words: mixture design, cellulase, complex formulation, cellulose
