Abstract
Description
本発明は、セルロースの糖化方法に関する。より詳しくは、セルロース含有繊維製品やそれらの製品屑等のセルロース含有物に前処理を施すことにより、セルロース分解酵素によるセルロースの加水分解反応速度を向上させたセルロースの糖化方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for saccharifying cellulose. More specifically, the present invention relates to a cellulose saccharification method in which cellulose-containing materials such as cellulose-containing fiber products and product waste thereof are pretreated to improve the hydrolysis reaction rate of cellulose by a cellulose-degrading enzyme.
化石燃料の枯渇問題や地球温暖化をはじめとした環境問題を背景に、石油代替原料を用いた燃料開発、化学品・樹脂群への転換が進められている。たとえば、米国、ブラジル等ではトウモロコシやサトウキビを原料にしたバイオエタノール製造が大規模に進められている。しかしこれらは食糧資源と競合関係にあるため、近年、その供給に関して国際的な議論の対象となった。このような背景を受け、食糧資源と競合しないセルロース系バイオマス原料（木質系・草本系等）からのバイオエタノール合成が注目を集めており、各国がその商用化を競っている。しかし、製造技術面とコスト面が障害となり未だ大規模には実用化出来ていない。一方、セルロース系バイオマス原料としては、上記の木質系・草本系以外にも、不要品として廃棄・回収された紙資源や衣料品等のセルロース含有繊維廃棄物もその対象として検討が始められている。 Against the backdrop of fossil fuel depletion problems and global warming and other environmental problems, fuel development using petroleum alternative raw materials and conversion to chemicals and resin groups are being promoted. For example, in the United States, Brazil, etc., bioethanol production using corn and sugarcane as a raw material is being promoted on a large scale. However, these are in competition with food resources and have recently been the subject of international debate over their supply. Against such a background, bioethanol synthesis from cellulosic biomass raw materials (woody, herbaceous, etc.) that do not compete with food resources is attracting attention, and countries are competing for commercialization. However, manufacturing technology and cost are obstacles, and it has not been put into practical use on a large scale. On the other hand, in addition to the woody and herbaceous materials mentioned above, cellulose-based fiber waste such as paper resources and clothing that have been discarded and recovered as unnecessary items has been studied as cellulosic biomass raw materials. .
セルロース含有物のセルロースは、１０００個以上のグルコースがβ−グリコシド結合でつながった多糖類である。セルロースを加水分解することにより、単糖であるグルコースのほか、グルコースが２〜６個つながった水溶性のオリゴ糖類（セロオリゴ糖）を得ることができる。これらの水溶性糖類の中でもグルコースは、微生物を用いた発酵法によるエタノール生産等に有用であることから、セルロースを含有する物からグルコース等の糖類を効率よく製造できる糖化技術が望まれている。 Cellulose-containing cellulose is a polysaccharide in which 1000 or more glucoses are connected by β-glycoside bonds. By hydrolyzing cellulose, in addition to glucose, which is a monosaccharide, water-soluble oligosaccharides (cellooligosaccharides) in which 2 to 6 glucoses are connected can be obtained. Among these water-soluble saccharides, glucose is useful for ethanol production and the like by fermentation using microorganisms. Therefore, a saccharification technique capable of efficiently producing saccharides such as glucose from cellulose-containing substances is desired.
セルロースを糖化する従来の方法としては、熱分解法、硫酸等を触媒とする酸触媒法（例えばアルケノール法）、超臨界または亜臨界状態の水溶液で加水分解する加圧熱水法（特許文献１参照）、酵素反応によって加水分解する酵素反応法（特許文献２参照）等が知られている。 Conventional methods for saccharifying cellulose include a thermal decomposition method, an acid catalyst method using sulfuric acid or the like as a catalyst (for example, an alkenol method), and a pressurized hydrothermal method in which hydrolysis is performed with a supercritical or subcritical aqueous solution (Patent Document 1). And an enzyme reaction method in which hydrolysis is performed by an enzyme reaction (see Patent Document 2) and the like are known.
熱分解法は、熱エネルギーによりセルロース分子鎖を切断する方法であり、セルロースを低分子化することが出来る。しかし、熱反応であるために反応の選択性が乏しく、グルコースの収率は低い。 The thermal decomposition method is a method in which cellulose molecular chains are cleaved by thermal energy, and cellulose can be reduced in molecular weight. However, since it is a thermal reaction, the selectivity of the reaction is poor and the yield of glucose is low.
酸触媒法は高濃度の硫酸でセルロースを加水分解処理した後に希硫酸で後処理をしてグルコースを得るものであるが、酸による設備腐食の問題と共に硫酸含有残渣処理・硫酸回収等の工程が必要となる問題がある。 In the acid catalyst method, cellulose is hydrolyzed with high-concentration sulfuric acid and then post-treated with dilute sulfuric acid to obtain glucose. However, there are processes such as sulfuric acid-containing residue treatment and sulfuric acid recovery along with the problem of equipment corrosion due to acid. There is a problem that is needed.
水は超臨界または亜臨界状態においてイオン積が増大し、あたかも酸性水溶液として挙動することが知られている。これを利用すれば酸触媒を添加しなくても効率よくしかも速やかにセルロースを加水分解する事ができるはずである。例えば、超臨界水または亜臨界水を用いることでセルロースからグルコースが２０％以上の収率で得られるという報告がなされている（特許文献１参照）。温度・圧力条件を制御することによりグルコースの収率をある程度向上しうる。しかし、加水分解の効率を優先し過ぎると、生成したグルコースが熱分解反応して収率が低下してしまう。また、この際にエタノール発酵工程の阻害物質であるフルフラール類が生成される問題がある。 It is known that water has an increased ion product in a supercritical or subcritical state and behaves as an acidic aqueous solution. If this is utilized, it should be possible to hydrolyze cellulose efficiently and quickly without adding an acid catalyst. For example, it has been reported that glucose can be obtained in a yield of 20% or more from cellulose by using supercritical water or subcritical water (see Patent Document 1). By controlling temperature and pressure conditions, the yield of glucose can be improved to some extent. However, if priority is given to the efficiency of hydrolysis, the produced glucose undergoes a thermal decomposition reaction and the yield decreases. Moreover, there exists a problem in which the furfural which is an inhibitory substance of an ethanol fermentation process is produced | generated in this case.
酵素反応法はセルロースを加水分解する酵素（セルラーゼ）により処理する方法であり、穏和な反応条件（室温〜７０℃）で処理できることが特徴である。近年、国内外の多くのメーカーが遺伝子操作技術を駆使して新規なセルラーゼ開発に力を入れている。しかし、一般にセルラーゼ自身が高価であることに加え、原料である高分子量のセルロースをグルコースに加水分解する効率が低く、生産性に劣る。例えば、数日から１週間程度の長時間の加水分解処理を行っても、グルコースへの転換率は３０％未満である。このように反応速度が小さいのは、セルロースが固体状態でありかつ結晶性であるためにセルラーゼとの反応が固液反応となっているからだと考えられる。 The enzyme reaction method is a method of treatment with an enzyme (cellulase) that hydrolyzes cellulose, and is characterized in that it can be treated under mild reaction conditions (room temperature to 70 ° C.). In recent years, many domestic and overseas manufacturers have made efforts to develop new cellulases using gene manipulation technology. However, in general, cellulase itself is expensive, and the efficiency of hydrolyzing high molecular weight cellulose, which is a raw material, into glucose is low, resulting in poor productivity. For example, even if the hydrolysis treatment is performed for a long time of several days to a week, the conversion rate to glucose is less than 30%. The reason for the low reaction rate is considered to be that the reaction with cellulase is a solid-liquid reaction because cellulose is in a solid state and crystalline.
前記セルラーゼの低い加水分解効率の問題を解決するために、原料であるセルロースの前処理を工夫して加水分解効率を向上させる方法が提案されている（特許文献２参照）。すなわち、セルロースを超臨界水または亜臨界水で一時的に可溶化し、反応物が溶液中に溶解している間にセルラーゼで加水分解処理を行なう方法である。 In order to solve the problem of the low hydrolysis efficiency of the cellulase, a method for improving the hydrolysis efficiency by devising pretreatment of cellulose as a raw material has been proposed (see Patent Document 2). That is, it is a method in which cellulose is temporarily solubilized with supercritical water or subcritical water and subjected to hydrolysis treatment with cellulase while the reaction product is dissolved in the solution.
しかしながら、上記の超臨界水処理における反応条件は３２０〜５００℃で圧力が２０〜５０ＭＰａと極めて厳しい条件であり、特殊な装置・設備を要するとともにエネルギーコストが高くなる問題がある。
本発明は上記事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、セルロース含有物に含まれるセルロースを酵素によって加水分解する際の反応速度を向上させることができるセルロースの糖化方法を提供することを課題とする。
However, the reaction conditions in the above supercritical water treatment are extremely severe conditions of 320 to 500 ° C. and a pressure of 20 to 50 MPa, and there is a problem that a special apparatus / equipment is required and the energy cost is increased.
This invention is made | formed in view of the said situation, and makes it a subject to provide the saccharification method of the cellulose which can improve the reaction rate at the time of hydrolyzing the cellulose contained in a cellulose containing material with an enzyme.

以下、本発明について詳しく説明する。
本発明のセルロースの糖化方法は、セルロース含有物を加水分解して糖化する方法であって、セルロース含有物とアルカリ水溶液とを接触させるアルカリ処理を行い（工程Ａ）、該セルロース含有物を水及び／又は酸性水溶液で洗浄した後（工程Ｂ）、該セルロース含有物とセルロース分解酵素及びｐＨ緩衝剤を含む水溶液とを０〜２５０ｍＭの緩衝液濃度の範囲で接触させる酵素処理を行って、水溶性オリゴ糖又はグルコースを含む水溶液を得る（工程Ｃ）、という工程Ａ〜Ｃを有する。本発明のセルロースの糖化方法は上記工程Ａ〜Ｃを含むものであればよく、他の操作を行う工程を含むものであってもよい。
The present invention will be described in detail below.
The cellulose saccharification method of the present invention is a method of hydrolyzing and saccharifying a cellulose-containing material, and performing an alkali treatment for bringing the cellulose-containing material into contact with an aqueous alkali solution (Step A), After washing with an acidic aqueous solution (step B), an enzyme treatment is performed by bringing the cellulose-containing material into contact with an aqueous solution containing a cellulose-degrading enzyme and a pH buffering agent in a range of 0 to 250 mM buffer concentration. Steps A to C are obtained in which an aqueous solution containing oligosaccharide or glucose is obtained (Step C). The cellulose saccharification method of the present invention only needs to include the above steps A to C, and may include steps of performing other operations.
前記工程Ａにおいて、前記セルロース含有物と前記アルカリ水溶液とを接触させる方法は特に制限されない。例えば、前記セルロース含有物を前記アルカリ水溶液に浸漬して接触させる方法を採用しても良いし、前記セルロース含有物を静置したところに、前記アルカリ水溶液を通液させて接触させても良い。より具体的な例として、アルカリ耐性のカゴに前記セルロース含有物を入れて、そのカゴを前記アルカリ水溶液中に浸漬して揺り動かすことにより前記アルカリ処理を行うこと方法が挙げられる。 In the step A, the method for bringing the cellulose-containing material into contact with the alkaline aqueous solution is not particularly limited. For example, a method of immersing the cellulose-containing material in the alkaline aqueous solution and bringing the cellulose-containing material into contact may be adopted, or the cellulose-containing material may be left in contact with the alkaline aqueous solution. As a more specific example, there is a method of performing the alkali treatment by putting the cellulose-containing material in an alkali-resistant basket and immersing and shaking the basket in the alkaline aqueous solution.
本発明におけるセルロース含有物としては、本発明の効果が十分に得られることから、セルロース含有繊維が好ましく、綿を含有する繊維がより好ましい。
前記セルロース含有繊維としては、セルロースを含有する繊維状の物であれば特に限定されず、例えば、衣料品等の繊維として用いられている綿、麻（苧麻、亜麻、マニラ麻、ザイザル麻、ケナフ麻等）、テンセル、レーヨン、キュブラ等や、コピー紙や包装紙、段ボール等の紙製品等が好適なものとして挙げられる。また、前記衣料品等の繊維として、ポリエステル等の合成繊維やシルク等のセルロースを含有していない繊維と混紡された繊維であってもよい。
前記セルロース含有繊維の形態は特に制限されず、綿状、糸状、綱状、布状、平面・立体状等に加工されたものを用いることができる。
The cellulose-containing material in the present invention is preferably a cellulose-containing fiber and more preferably a fiber containing cotton because the effects of the present invention can be sufficiently obtained.
The cellulose-containing fiber is not particularly limited as long as it is a fibrous material containing cellulose. For example, cotton, hemp (linax, flax, manila hemp, zaiza hemp, kenaf hemp used as a fiber for clothing, etc. Etc.), Tencel, Rayon, Cubula, etc., and paper products such as copy paper, wrapping paper, cardboard and the like. Further, the fiber of the clothing or the like may be a fiber blended with a synthetic fiber such as polyester or a fiber not containing cellulose such as silk.
The form of the cellulose-containing fiber is not particularly limited, and those processed into a cotton shape, a thread shape, a rope shape, a cloth shape, a flat surface, a solid shape, or the like can be used.
また、前記セルロース含有繊維の長さは、１ｍｍ以上１ｍ以下が好ましく、５ｍｍ以上５０ｃｍ以下がより好ましく、１ｃｍ以上３０ｃｍ以下がさらに好ましい。
この範囲の長さであると、セルロース含有繊維の取り扱いが容易となる。特に、本発明の各工程においてセルロース含有繊維を脱水する場合に、セルロース含有繊維が通過し難い篩（ふるい）を用いて行う際の取り扱い性に優れる。
The length of the cellulose-containing fiber is preferably 1 mm or more and 1 m or less, more preferably 5 mm or more and 50 cm or less, and further preferably 1 cm or more and 30 cm or less.
When the length is within this range, the cellulose-containing fiber can be easily handled. In particular, when cellulose-containing fibers are dehydrated in each step of the present invention, the handleability when using a sieve that does not easily pass through the cellulose-containing fibers is excellent.
セルロースから糖類への転化率を高める観点から、該セルロース含有物には糖化反応を阻害するような不純物はなるべく含まれていない方が好ましい。すなわち、本発明において用いられるセルロース含有物のセルロース含有率は高いほど好ましい。 From the viewpoint of increasing the conversion rate from cellulose to saccharide, it is preferable that the cellulose-containing product contains as little impurities as possible to inhibit the saccharification reaction. That is, the higher the cellulose content of the cellulose-containing material used in the present invention, the better.
前記工程Ａにおいて、本発明のアルカリ処理におけるアルカリ水溶液としては、前記セルロース含有物の吸水量を高めて膨潤させることができるものであれば特に制限されず、水酸化ナトリウム、アンモニア水等が挙げられる。
これらのなかでも、水酸化ナトリウムが好ましい。水酸化ナトリウムを用いることにより、当該セルロース含有物中のセルロース（セルロース結晶）の吸水量を高めて膨潤することができ、さらに、後段の工程Ｂの水及び／又は酸性水溶液による洗浄後に該セルロースをＮａイオンが吸着したセルロースＮａ塩とすることができる。その結果、後段の工程Ｃの酵素処理における反応系に酢酸を所定の量で添加すると、セルロースに吸着したＮａイオン及び酢酸がｐＨ緩衝剤として機能して、該反応系を酵素反応に好ましいｐＨで安定化することができる。
In Step A, the aqueous alkali solution in the alkali treatment of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it can swell by increasing the water absorption of the cellulose-containing material, and examples thereof include sodium hydroxide and aqueous ammonia. .
Among these, sodium hydroxide is preferable. By using sodium hydroxide, the water absorption of cellulose (cellulose crystals) in the cellulose-containing material can be increased to swell, and the cellulose is washed after washing with water and / or acidic aqueous solution in the subsequent step B. It can be set as the cellulose Na salt which Na ion adsorb | sucked. As a result, when acetic acid is added in a predetermined amount to the reaction system in the enzyme treatment in the subsequent stage C, Na ions and acetic acid adsorbed on cellulose function as pH buffering agents, and the reaction system has a pH preferable for the enzyme reaction. Can be stabilized.
また、綿繊維等のセルロース含有繊維を、水酸化ナトリウム等でアルカリ処理することによって、該セルロース含有繊維が膨潤してセルロースの非晶領域が３倍以上増加しうる。さらに、Ｘ線回折によって測定される該セルロースの結晶格子の大きさも変化することから、セルロースの分子間相互作用が当該アルカリ処理によって変化させられると考えられる。その要因として、例えば、Ｎａイオンの吸着によってセルロースの水酸基間の水素結合が切れて分子間の結合力が低下することが考えられる。 In addition, by subjecting cellulose-containing fibers such as cotton fibers to an alkali treatment with sodium hydroxide or the like, the cellulose-containing fibers can swell and the amorphous region of cellulose can increase three times or more. Further, since the size of the crystal lattice of cellulose measured by X-ray diffraction also changes, it is considered that the intermolecular interaction of cellulose is changed by the alkali treatment. As the factor, for example, it is conceivable that the hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl groups of cellulose is broken by the adsorption of Na ions, and the bonding force between molecules is reduced.
このように、アルカリ処理によって膨潤して吸水量が増加した綿繊維等のセルロース含有物は、後段の工程Ｃの酵素処理において、セルロース分解酵素が前記セルロース含有物のセルロースにアタックし易くなっているため、酵素反応の効率を著しく向上させることができる。 As described above, cellulose-containing materials such as cotton fibers that have been swollen by alkali treatment and have increased water absorption are easily attacked by cellulose-degrading enzymes on cellulose in the cellulose-containing material in the enzyme treatment in the subsequent step C. Therefore, the efficiency of the enzyme reaction can be significantly improved.
前記工程Ａにおいて、アルカリ水溶液が水酸化ナトリウム水溶液である場合には、その濃度（規定度）は、０．１〜１０Ｎが好ましく、１〜５Ｎがより好ましい。
上記範囲の下限値以上及び上限値以下であると、前記セルロース含有物におけるセルロース（セルロース結晶）の膨潤及び吸水量を高めて、後段の酵素反応をより効率良く行うことができる。
一方、上記範囲の下限値未満及び上限値超であると、前記セルロース含有物におけるセルロースの膨潤及び吸水量が低下してしまう傾向がある。
In the step A, when the alkaline aqueous solution is a sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, the concentration (normality) is preferably 0.1 to 10N, and more preferably 1 to 5N.
When the amount is not less than the lower limit and not more than the upper limit of the above range, the cellulose (cellulose crystals) in the cellulose-containing product can be increased in swelling and water absorption, and the subsequent enzyme reaction can be performed more efficiently.
On the other hand, when the amount is less than the lower limit and exceeds the upper limit of the above range, the cellulose swelling and water absorption in the cellulose-containing material tend to decrease.
前記工程Ａにおいて、前記セルロース含有物と前記アルカリ水溶液とを接触させる際の温度は、−１０〜５０℃が好ましく、−５〜３０℃がさらに好ましい。
上記範囲の下限値以上及び上限値以下であると、前記セルロース含有物におけるセルロースの膨潤及び吸水量を高めて、後段の酵素反応をより効率良く行うことができる。
一方、上記範囲の下限値未満及び上限値超であると、前記セルロース含有物におけるセルロースの膨潤及び吸水量が低下してしまう傾向がある。
なお、前記膨潤及び吸水量をさらに向上させる温度としては、４〜２０℃が良く、４〜１５℃がさらに良く、４〜１０℃が最も良い。しかし、アルカリ処理における温度を室温付近に設定することにより、冷却のためのエネルギーコストを不要とすることができる。
In the said process A, -10-50 degreeC is preferable and, as for the temperature at the time of making the said cellulose containing material and the said alkaline aqueous solution contact, -5-30 degreeC is more preferable.
When the amount is not less than the lower limit and not more than the upper limit of the above range, the swelling and water absorption of cellulose in the cellulose-containing material can be increased, and the subsequent enzyme reaction can be performed more efficiently.
On the other hand, when the amount is less than the lower limit and exceeds the upper limit of the above range, the cellulose swelling and water absorption in the cellulose-containing material tend to decrease.
The temperature for further improving the swelling and water absorption is preferably 4 to 20 ° C, more preferably 4 to 15 ° C, and most preferably 4 to 10 ° C. However, the energy cost for cooling can be made unnecessary by setting the temperature in the alkali treatment to around room temperature.
前記工程Ａにおいて、前記セルロース含有物と前記アルカリ水溶液とを接触させる際の処理時間の範囲は、通常４８時間以下で行うことができ、０．１分〜６０分が好ましく、１分〜３０分がさらに好ましい。
上記範囲の下限値以上及び上限値以下であると、前記セルロース含有物におけるセルロースの膨潤及び吸水量を高めて、後段の酵素反応をより効率良く行うことができる。
一方、上記範囲の下限値未満であると、前記セルロース含有物におけるセルロースの膨潤及び吸水量が低下してしまう傾向がある。また、４８時間を超えてアルカリ処理を行った場合には、アルカリ濃度にもよるが、概して変化の程度が少なくなり、膨潤及び吸水量は頭打ちとなる傾向がある。
In the step A, the treatment time when the cellulose-containing material and the alkaline aqueous solution are contacted can be usually 48 hours or less, preferably 0.1 to 60 minutes, preferably 1 to 30 minutes. Is more preferable.
When the amount is not less than the lower limit and not more than the upper limit of the above range, the swelling and water absorption of cellulose in the cellulose-containing material can be increased, and the subsequent enzyme reaction can be performed more efficiently.
On the other hand, when the amount is less than the lower limit of the above range, the cellulose swelling and water absorption in the cellulose-containing material tend to decrease. Further, when the alkali treatment is performed for more than 48 hours, although depending on the alkali concentration, the degree of change generally decreases, and the swelling and water absorption tend to reach a peak.
前記工程Ｂにおいて、前記アルカリ処理を行った前記セルロース含有物を水及び／又は酸性水溶液で洗浄する方法としては、該セルロース含有物からアルカリを水及び／又は酸性水溶液で洗い流すことができるものであれば特に制限されない。例えば、該セルロース含有物を脱イオン水及び／又は酸性水溶液に浸漬して洗浄する方法を採用しても良いし、該セルロース含有物を静置したところに、脱イオン水及び／又は酸性水溶液を通液させて洗浄しても良い。より具体的な例として、アルカリ耐性のカゴに前記セルロース含有物を入れて、そのカゴを脱イオン水及び／又は酸性水溶液中に浸漬して揺り動かし、適宜、該脱イオン水及び／又は酸性水溶液を交換することにより前記アルカリを該セルロース含有物から除去する方法が挙げられる。 In the step B, as the method for washing the cellulose-containing material subjected to the alkali treatment with water and / or an acidic aqueous solution, the alkali can be washed away from the cellulose-containing material with water and / or an acidic aqueous solution. There is no particular limitation. For example, a method of washing the cellulose-containing material by immersing it in deionized water and / or an acidic aqueous solution may be adopted, or the cellulose-containing material may be allowed to stand, and deionized water and / or acidic aqueous solution may be used. You may let it pass and wash. As a more specific example, the cellulose-containing material is put in an alkali-resistant basket, the basket is immersed in deionized water and / or an acidic aqueous solution and shaken, and the deionized water and / or acidic aqueous solution is appropriately used. A method of removing the alkali from the cellulose-containing material by exchanging is mentioned.
前記酸性水溶液は、後段の工程Ｃにおける酵素反応を阻害しないものであれば特に制限されず、例えば酢酸緩衝液、クエン酸緩衝液、リン酸緩衝液等が好適に用いられる。
前記酸性水溶液のｐＨの範囲は、後段の工程Ｃにおける酵素反応を阻害しない範囲であればよく、ｐＨ２．０〜６．９が好ましく、ｐＨ３．０〜ｐＨ６．９がより好ましく、ｐＨ４．０〜ｐＨ６．０がさらに好ましい。
この範囲のｐＨであると、洗浄したセルロース含有物に含まれる水溶液のｐＨを、後段の工程Ｃにおける酵素反応の至適ｐＨ（一般にｐＨ４〜６）に合わせることができるので好ましい。
なお、前記酸性水溶液の濃度は、前記アルカリ処理におけるアルカリの濃度によって適宜調整される。
The acidic aqueous solution is not particularly limited as long as it does not inhibit the enzyme reaction in the subsequent step C. For example, an acetate buffer solution, a citrate buffer solution, a phosphate buffer solution and the like are preferably used.
The pH range of the acidic aqueous solution may be a range that does not inhibit the enzyme reaction in the subsequent step C, preferably pH 2.0 to 6.9, more preferably pH 3.0 to pH 6.9, and pH 4.0 to 4.0. More preferred is pH 6.0.
The pH within this range is preferable because the pH of the aqueous solution contained in the washed cellulose-containing material can be adjusted to the optimum pH (generally pH 4 to 6) for the enzyme reaction in the subsequent step C.
The concentration of the acidic aqueous solution is appropriately adjusted depending on the concentration of alkali in the alkali treatment.
前記水及び／又は酸性水溶液で洗浄した後の前記セルロース含有物に残存するアルカリは、該セルロース含有物に含まれる水又は酸性水溶液のｐＨが酸性〜中性付近となるように、できる限り少ない量であることが望ましい。しかし、後段の工程Ｃにおける酵素反応を阻害しない程度であれば、該アルカリが残存していてもよい。また、塩酸等の酸を用いて残存したアルカリを中和してもよい。 The alkali remaining in the cellulose-containing material after washing with the water and / or acidic aqueous solution is as small as possible so that the pH of the water or acidic aqueous solution contained in the cellulose-containing material is in the vicinity of acidic to neutral. It is desirable that However, the alkali may remain as long as the enzyme reaction in the subsequent step C is not inhibited. Moreover, you may neutralize the remaining alkali using acids, such as hydrochloric acid.
より具体的な前記工程Ａ、並びに前記工程Ｂにおける酢酸による洗浄及びアルカリ中和の方法として、次の操作が例示できる。
まず、アルカリ耐性の容器（チーズ染色機）内において、木綿１ｋｇに水を含ませてから脱水し、４Ｎ（１５．８質量％）の水酸化ナトリウム水溶液９Ｌを投入して、前記アルカリ処理を所定時間行った後、該水酸化ナトリウム水溶液を排水する。該容器中に残ったアルカリを含む木綿に対して、４質量％の酢酸６Ｌを投入し、これを排水した後、再度４質量％の酢酸６Ｌを投入して排水する。このとき、１回目の排水はｐＨ１３以上であるが、２回目の排水はｐＨ４〜５となっていることから、２度の酢酸投入後の木綿に含まれる水溶液は、酢酸と酢酸ナトリウムで構成されるｐＨ４〜５の酢酸緩衝液に調製されていることがわかる。なお、このアルカリの中和反応は、ＣＨ３ＣＯＯＨ＋ＮａＯＨ→ＣＨ３ＣＯＯＮａ＋Ｈ２Ｏの反応式で表される。このようにｐＨ調整された木綿は脱水しなくても、後段の工程Ｃに使用することができる。
The following operation can be illustrated as a more specific method of washing with acetic acid and alkali neutralization in step A and step B.
First, in an alkali-resistant container (cheese dyeing machine), 1 kg of cotton is mixed with water and then dehydrated, and 9 L of 4N (15.8 mass%) aqueous sodium hydroxide solution is added to perform the alkali treatment. After a period of time, the aqueous sodium hydroxide solution is drained. 4 L of acetic acid (6 L) is added to the cotton containing alkali remaining in the container, and after draining it, 4 L of acetic acid (6 L) is added again and drained. At this time, the drainage of the first time is pH 13 or higher, but the drainage of the second time is pH 4-5, so the aqueous solution contained in the cotton after the addition of acetic acid twice is composed of acetic acid and sodium acetate. It can be seen that it is prepared in an acetate buffer solution of pH 4-5. The alkali neutralization reaction is represented by a reaction formula of CH 3 COOH + NaOH → CH 3 COONa + H 2 O. The cotton thus adjusted in pH can be used in the subsequent step C without being dehydrated.
前記工程Ｃにおいて、前記水及び／又は酸性水溶液で洗浄したセルロース含有物とセルロース分解酵素を含む水溶液とを接触させる方法は、特に制限されない。例えば、前記セルロース含有物をセルロース分解酵素を含む水溶液に浸漬して接触させる方法を採用しても良いし、前記セルロース含有物を静置したところに、前記セルロース分解酵素を含む水溶液を通液させて接触させても良い。より具体的な例として、カゴに前記セルロース含有物を入れて、そのカゴを前記セルロース分解酵素を含む水溶液中に浸漬して揺り動かすことにより前記酵素処理を行う方法が挙げられる。 In the step C, the method for bringing the cellulose-containing material washed with the water and / or the acidic aqueous solution into contact with the aqueous solution containing the cellulolytic enzyme is not particularly limited. For example, a method of immersing the cellulose-containing material in an aqueous solution containing a cellulolytic enzyme may be employed, or the aqueous solution containing the cellulose-degrading enzyme may be allowed to flow when the cellulose-containing material is allowed to stand. May be contacted. As a more specific example, there is a method in which the enzyme treatment is performed by putting the cellulose-containing material into a basket and immersing the basket in an aqueous solution containing the cellulose-degrading enzyme and shaking it.
本発明における工程Ｃでは、前記セルロース含有物とセルロース分解酵素を含む水溶液とを接触させる際の酵素反応溶液の緩衝液濃度を、０〜２５０ｍＭに調整する。
その緩衝液濃度の調整に用いるｐＨ緩衝剤としては、前記セルロース分解酵素の酵素活性を阻害するものでなければ特に制限されず、例えば酢酸及び酢酸Ｎａ、クエン酸及びクエン酸Ｎａ、並びにリン酸及びリン酸Ｎａ等が挙げられる。これらのナトリウム（Ｎａ）塩は、カリウム塩に代えてもよい。
酵素反応溶液の緩衝液濃度を上記範囲に調製することによって、糖化反応速度が向上するメカニズムとしては、溶液のｐＨが安定すること、塩析によりセルロース分解酵素が基質であるセルロース含有物に吸着しやすくなること等が考えられる。
In Step C of the present invention, the buffer solution concentration of the enzyme reaction solution when the cellulose-containing material and an aqueous solution containing a cellulolytic enzyme are brought into contact with each other is adjusted to 0 to 250 mM.
The pH buffer used for adjusting the buffer concentration is not particularly limited as long as it does not inhibit the enzyme activity of the cellulolytic enzyme. For example, acetic acid and Na acetate, citric acid and Na citrate, and phosphoric acid and Examples thereof include sodium phosphate. These sodium (Na) salts may be replaced with potassium salts.
By adjusting the buffer concentration of the enzyme reaction solution within the above range, the saccharification reaction rate can be improved by stabilizing the pH of the solution and adsorbing the cellulolytic enzyme on the cellulose-containing material as a substrate by salting out. It may be easier.
前記工程Ｃにおけるセルロース分解酵素としては、セルロースを加水分解して水溶性オリゴ糖又はグルコースを生成できるものであれば特に制限されず、公知のセルロース分解酵素（セルラーゼ）を所定の量で用いればよい。ここで、該水溶性オリゴ糖は、２〜６分子程度のグルコースが縮合してつながった分子構造を有する水溶性のセロオリゴ糖をいう。 The cellulose-degrading enzyme in Step C is not particularly limited as long as it can hydrolyze cellulose to produce a water-soluble oligosaccharide or glucose, and a known cellulose-degrading enzyme (cellulase) may be used in a predetermined amount. . Here, the water-soluble oligosaccharide refers to a water-soluble cellooligosaccharide having a molecular structure in which about 2 to 6 molecules of glucose are condensed and connected.
前記工程Ｃにおけるセルロース分解酵素を含む水溶液には、ｐＨを安定させるためのｐＨ緩衝剤を含ませることが好ましい。該水溶液のｐＨとしては、該セルロース分解酵素の至適ｐＨ（酵素活性が高くなるｐＨ）付近であることが望ましい。一般に、該至適ｐＨは酸性〜中性であることが多いので、酢酸緩衝液、クエン酸緩衝液、リン酸緩衝液等が好適に用いられる。 The aqueous solution containing the cellulolytic enzyme in Step C preferably contains a pH buffer for stabilizing the pH. The pH of the aqueous solution is desirably around the optimum pH of the cellulolytic enzyme (the pH at which the enzyme activity increases). In general, since the optimum pH is often acidic to neutral, an acetate buffer, a citrate buffer, a phosphate buffer, or the like is preferably used.
前述したように、水酸化ナトリウム水溶液を用いてアルカリ処理を行ったセルロース含有物の水酸基のプロトンの一部はＮａカチオンに変換されている可能性があるので、前記セルロース分解酵素を含む水溶液に酢酸、クエン酸、リン酸等の酸を所定の量加えて該セルロース含有物に接触させることにより水酸基に戻すと共に、セルロース分解酵素によるセルロースの加水分解に適した酸性〜中性付近のｐＨに調整することにより、当該酵素処理を効率よく行うことができる。 As described above, since some of the protons of the hydroxyl group of the cellulose-containing material that has been alkali-treated with an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution may be converted to Na cations, acetic acid is added to the aqueous solution containing the cellulose-degrading enzyme. In addition, a predetermined amount of an acid such as citric acid or phosphoric acid is added and brought into contact with the cellulose-containing material to return to the hydroxyl group, and the pH is adjusted to an acidic to neutral pH suitable for cellulose hydrolysis by a cellulose-degrading enzyme. Thus, the enzyme treatment can be performed efficiently.
前記工程Ｃにおける酵素処理において、前記セルロース含有物と前記セルロース分解酵素を含む水溶液とを接触させる際の温度は、該セルロース分解酵素の至適温度（酵素活性が高くなる温度）付近であることが望ましい。一般には、該至適温度は１０〜８０℃の範囲であり、４０〜７０℃がより好ましく、５０〜６５℃がさらに好ましい。 In the enzyme treatment in the step C, the temperature at which the cellulose-containing material and the aqueous solution containing the cellulolytic enzyme are brought into contact with each other is close to the optimum temperature of the cellulolytic enzyme (the temperature at which the enzyme activity increases). desirable. Generally, the optimum temperature is in the range of 10 to 80 ° C, more preferably 40 to 70 ° C, and further preferably 50 to 65 ° C.
前記工程Ｃにおける酵素処理において、前記セルロース含有物と前記セルロース分解酵素を含む水溶液とを接触させる際の処理時間の範囲は、適切な酵素濃度、ｐＨ、温度であれば、１４日以下で行うことができる。多くの場合、反応開始後１日間が最も反応速度が高く、その後２〜６日間で反応速度が徐々に低下し、反応開始１０日後以降では反応がほぼ停止してセルロース含有物に含まれるセルロースのグルコースへの転換率が頭打ちになる傾向がある。 In the enzyme treatment in Step C, the treatment time range when contacting the cellulose-containing material and the aqueous solution containing the cellulolytic enzyme is 14 days or less as long as the enzyme concentration, pH, and temperature are appropriate. Can do. In many cases, the reaction rate is highest for 1 day after the start of the reaction, the reaction rate gradually decreases after 2 to 6 days, and the reaction is almost stopped after 10 days from the start of the reaction. The conversion rate to glucose tends to reach a peak.
ここで、前記転換率とは、セルロース含有物に含まれるセルロースの質量に対する、糖化反応により得られた糖類の質量の割合をいう。該糖類とは、前記水溶性オリゴ糖又はグルコースをいう。 Here, the said conversion rate means the ratio of the mass of the saccharide obtained by saccharification reaction with respect to the mass of the cellulose contained in a cellulose containing material. The saccharide refers to the water-soluble oligosaccharide or glucose.
前記工程Ｃでは、セルロースの加水分解を酵素を用いて比較的穏やかな条件で行うため、生成した前記糖類の過分解がほとんど起こらず、純度の高い糖類を得ることができる。生成した前記糖類は前記セルロース分解酵素を含む水溶液中に溶解している。該糖類を該水溶液から回収して得る方法は特に制限されず、クロマトグラフィー等の公知の方法で行えばよい。 In the step C, since hydrolysis of cellulose is performed under relatively mild conditions using an enzyme, the produced saccharide is hardly excessively decomposed, and a highly pure saccharide can be obtained. The produced saccharide is dissolved in an aqueous solution containing the cellulolytic enzyme. The method for recovering the saccharide from the aqueous solution is not particularly limited, and may be performed by a known method such as chromatography.
次に、実施例により本発明をさらに詳細に説明するが、本発明はこれらの例によって限定されるものではない。 EXAMPLES Next, although an Example demonstrates this invention further in detail, this invention is not limited by these examples.
［試験例１］
セルロース含有物である綿糸５ｇと、４Ｎの水酸化ナトリウム水溶液２００ｇとをガラス製ビーカー（３００ｍＬ）で混合して、５℃で３０分間、接触させた（工程Ａ）。
つぎに、ビーカーから前記水酸化ナトリウム水溶液を除去して、脱イオン水を加え、アルカリ処理した前記セルロース含有物を水洗し８時間放置した（工程Ｂ）。その後、脱水を行い乾燥を行った。
[Test Example 1]
5 g of cotton yarn containing cellulose and 200 g of 4N sodium hydroxide aqueous solution were mixed in a glass beaker (300 mL) and contacted at 5 ° C. for 30 minutes (step A).
Next, the sodium hydroxide aqueous solution was removed from the beaker, deionized water was added, and the alkali-treated cellulose-containing material was washed with water and allowed to stand for 8 hours (step B). Then, it dehydrated and dried.
つづいて、上記処理済み乾燥木綿０．５ｇを、６本のポリプロピレン試験管中にそれぞれ取り、酢酸−酢酸Ｎａ緩衝液（ｐＨ５．０）を投入し、その緩衝液濃度を０，１０，５０，２５０，１０００，２０００ｍＭに調製した９．９７５ｍｌの溶液Ａ〜Ｆを得た。
次いで、セルロース分解酵素であるセルラーゼＳＳ（ナガセケムテック株式会社製；活性１６００ＣＵN／ｇ以上）の酵素溶液０．０２５ｍｌを各溶液Ａ〜Ｆに添加した。この反応溶液における酵素溶液濃度は５．０％｛％：ml（酵素溶液）／ｇ（基質）×１００｝である。この反応溶液をよく攪拌した後、静置した状態で、５日間、５０℃で糖化反応を行った。
Subsequently, 0.5 g of the above treated dry cotton was taken in each of six polypropylene test tubes, and an acetic acid-Na acetate buffer solution (pH 5.0) was added. The buffer solution concentration was 0, 10, 50, 9.975 ml of solutions A to F adjusted to 250, 1000 and 2000 mM were obtained.
Subsequently, 0.025 ml of an enzyme solution of cellulase SS (manufactured by Nagase ChemteX Corporation; activity 1600 CUN / g or more), which is a cellulose-degrading enzyme, was added to each of the solutions A to F. The concentration of the enzyme solution in this reaction solution is 5.0% {%: ml (enzyme solution) / g (substrate) × 100}. After thoroughly stirring this reaction solution, saccharification reaction was carried out at 50 ° C. for 5 days in a state of standing still.
この酵素処理の開始後、所定日数経過後における反応液に含まれるグルコース量をＨＰＬＣにより測定し、「グルコース転換率（質量％）＝生成したグルコースの質量／綿繊維の質量（０．５ｇ）」の計算を行った。
その結果、反応開始５日後の各溶液のグルコース転換率は、５９％（溶液Ａ），６７％（溶液Ｂ），６８％（溶液Ｃ），５９％（溶液Ｄ），４０％（溶液Ｅ），２８％（溶液Ｆ），となった。この結果を図１に示す。
After the start of the enzyme treatment, the amount of glucose contained in the reaction solution after a predetermined number of days was measured by HPLC, and “glucose conversion rate (mass%) = mass of glucose produced / mass of cotton fiber (0.5 g)” Was calculated.
As a result, the glucose conversion rate of each solution 5 days after the start of the reaction was 59% (solution A), 67% (solution B), 68% (solution C), 59% (solution D), 40% (solution E). , 28% (Solution F). The result is shown in FIG.
以上の結果から、糖化反応速度を速めるために、反応溶液の緩衝液濃度を０〜２５０ｍＭの範囲とすることが好ましく、１０ｍＭ〜２００ｍＭの範囲とすることがより好ましいことが明らかである。 From the above results, it is apparent that the buffer concentration of the reaction solution is preferably in the range of 0 to 250 mM, more preferably in the range of 10 mM to 200 mM, in order to increase the saccharification reaction rate.
