The document summarizes research on enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose in the ionic liquid NMMO. Key findings include:
1) A twin screw extruder was modified to produce high cellulose loading solutions of up to 13% in NMMO/H2O. Enzymatic hydrolysis reactions were then performed in the extruder.
2) Reaction conditions like cellulose loading, enzyme loading, pH, and agitation method significantly impacted sugar yields and conversion rates. The highest yield was obtained at 10% cellulose, 122 FPU/g enzymes, and acidic pH in a stirred tank reactor.
3) A stirred tank reactor provided better mixing than a shaker bath and achieved near complete conversion of cell

Effect of solvents on formation of disulphide bond in peptides: A comparative...inventionjournals
A novel approach to the formation of disulphide bonds in peptides is developed by doing a series of
experiments to evaluate effect of solvents on the disulphide bond formation in peptides in terms of time required,
recovery, ease of processing during reaction working up and use of solvents. For evaluating the effect,
experiments were setup using Water:Acetonitrile, Water:Methanol and Water:Ethanol for disulphide bond
formation of Desmopressin and the results were compared with the aerial oxidation conducted in water. For
each solvent, a set of oxidation reactions was studied at 0.5 mg/ml, 1 mg/ml and 5 mg/ml concentration. The
acetonitrile water combination at concentration of either 0.5mg/ml or 1 mg/ml proved to deliver the best result
in terms of purity, yield and time required to complete reaction.

30. Method of Assay: DNS 3,5-Dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS or DNSA) is an aromatic compound that reacts with reducing sugars and other reducing molecules to form 3-amino-5-nitrosalicylic acid, which absorbs light strongly at 540 nm. A reducing sugar is any sugar that, in basic solution, forms some aldehydeor ketone. Reducing sugars include glucose, fructose, glyceraldehyde, lactose, arabinose and maltose. - Miller, 1959 Increasing sugar concentration

34. Reducing Sugar yield does not accurately scale with initial cellulose concentrationIs there another way to increase conversion?
37. Higher cellulose loading causes foaming when air is taken up by the extruderCellulose NMMO 10% Acetic Acid Enzymes Low Density Low Viscosity Extruder Shaker Bath Higher cellulose loading solutions can be reacted in Shaker Bath
46. Sometime between 12 and 24 hours, high pH may cause inactivation of the enzymes
47.
48. Samples with additional 10% acetic acid resulted in higher reducing sugar yields~2.5 mg/mL for 5 cellulose wt% ~4.5 mg/mL for 10 cellulose wt% Account for deactivation of enzymes, but high cellulose loading of 122 FPU/g may hide any substrate inhibition

63. Conclusions ** In situ hydrolysis of high cellulose loading in NMMO/H2O solutions can be performed utilizing a twin screw extruder Modified Extruder is capable of making high cellulose loading solutions in NMMO/H2O Enzymatic Hydrolysis of cellulose can occur using a twin screw extruder as a reaction vessel Provides path to “consolidated bioprocess” Cellulose loading, enzyme loading, pH and agitation method are important factors in the initial reaction rate, reducing sugar yield, as well as overall conversion of cellulose to glucose 10wt% cellulose, 122 FPU/g, E + AA pH scheme in the STR provided the highest yield of reducing sugars (39.85 mg/mL) as well as cellulose conversion (95.55% assuming all glucose).
64. Recommendations In running the experiment in the extruder, make sure to maintain over flooded feed. This will prevent the extruder from pulling air into the extrusion system producing bubbles and reduce the pressure building capacity to push the solution through the recycle system. The hydrolysis may be run at 40 degrees Celsius, because it has been shown that higher pH is tolerated by the enzyme at low temperature. This can reduce the acid addition necessary for higher conversion. HPLC would be useful at identifying the final reducing sugar composition in solution for use in future fermentation reactions. The initial stirred tank reactor has shown to have promising results and should be investigated further.
