Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for solubilisation or hydrolysis of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) with an enzyme blend and an enzyme composition for solubilization of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), the enzyme composition comprising a cellulolytic background composition and a protease, lipase and/or beta-glucanase.
Claims21
A process for producing a fermentation product, comprising:
- (a) treating Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) with an enzyme composition comprising a cellulolytic background composition present at a ratio between 40-99% w/w of the total enzyme protein, and further comprising:
- ii) a protease present at a ratio between 5-15% w/w of the total enzyme protein;
- iii) a lipase present at a ratio between 2.5-7.5% w/w of the total enzyme protein;
- and/or
- iv) a beta-glucanase present at a ratio between 10-20% w/w of the total enzyme protein;
- and wherein the enzyme composition further comprises one or more enzymes selected from the group consisting of a pectate lyase, a mannanase, and an amylase;
- (b) fermenting the solubilized and/or hydrolysed MSW with one or more fermenting microorganisms to produce a fermentation product;
- and
- (c) recovering the fermentation product from the fermentation.
