AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Laccase isoforms from basidiomycetes exhibit a superior redox potential compared to commercially available laccases obtained from ascomycete fungi, rendering them more reactive toward mono-substituted phenols and polyphenolic compounds. However, basidiomycetes present limitations for large-scale culture in liquid media, restraining the current availability of laccases from this fungal class. To advance laccase production from basidiomycetes, a newly designed 14-L low-shear aerated and agitated bioreactor provided enzyme titers up to 23.5 IU/mL from Trametes versicolor cultures. Produced enzymes underwent ultrafiltration and LC/MS-MS characterization, revealing the predominant production of only two out of the ten laccases predicted in the T. versicolor genome. Process simulation and economic analysis using SuperPro designer® suggested that T. versicolor laccase could be produced at US$ 3.60/kIU in a 200-L/batch enterprise with attractive economic parameters and a payback period of 1.7 years. The study indicates that new bioreactors with plain design help to produce low-cost enzymes from basidiomycetes.

Two continuous whipping devices, a rotor-stator (RS) and a narrow angular gap unit (NAGU), were used to produce aerated food with a 25% (v/v) gas fraction target. The liquid phase was a Newtonian model-solution containing 2% (w/w) of either whey proteins (WPC), sodium caseinate (SCN), or tween 20 (TW20). Strong differences emerged regarding gas incorporation and bubble size as a function of process parameters: namely, rotation speed and residence time.

Two crucial themes emerge from the growing application of MBRs treating domestic wastewater so far: fouling control and energy demand. The significance of in-situ shear-enhanced methods for fouling control in MBRs has been widely acknowledged with air sparging over decades. However, it is still a challenge to develop energy-efficient ways to replace energy-intensive air sparging for effective fouling control during long-term real domestic wastewater treatment.

Scant attention has been given to understanding the impact of creaming stability on the final structure of semi-sweet biscuits, an aspect that has traditionally concerned the biscuit industry. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to analyze the influence of the creaming phase stability on the quality attributes of rotary-molded biscuits. Doughs were formulated with 10.

Membrane based technologies are highly reliable for water and wastewater treatment, including for removal of total oil and grease from produced water. However, performances of the pressure driven processes are highly restricted by membrane fouling and the application of traditional air bubbling system is limited by their low shear stress due to poor contacts with the membrane surface. This study develops and assesses a novel finned spacer, placed in between vertical panel, for membrane fouling control in submerged plate-and-frame module system for real produced water filtration.
