Sugar recovery and optimization from bakery leftovers via subcritical water hydrolysis

Subcritical water hydrolysis is an emerging extraction technique that has been acknowledged as a green process. This study aims to recover sugar from leftover croissants (LC) (52.42 ± 0.29% of carbohydrate content) and leftover doughnuts (LD) (46.59 ± 0.23% of carb...

Sugar recovery and optimization from bakery leftovers via subcritical water hydrolysis
description Subcritical water hydrolysis is an emerging extraction technique that has been acknowledged as a green process. This study aims to recover sugar from leftover croissants (LC) (52.42 ± 0.29% of carbohydrate content) and leftover doughnuts (LD) (46.59 ± 0.23% of carbohydrate content) using subcritical water technique. The first part of this study determines the effect of process parameters (temperature, time and solid loading) of subcritical water hydrolysis (SWH) on sugar recovery. The sugar obtained from leftover samples (LC and LD) increased with an increase in temperature. Contrarily, increasing the solid loading decreased the total sugar yield. Enzymatic hydrolysis (EH), which considered as a conventional process, was also conducted to recover sugar with a different set of process parameters. SWH and EH were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM), where maximum sugar yield was the primary response. SWH recorded the optimised conditions at 200 °C, 6.17 min, and 10% solid loading that producing 466.11 ± 0.67 mg/g for LC, while for LD sample the optimised conditions were found at 200 °C, 5 min, and 10% solid loading with yielded of 394.34 ± 0.33 mg/g.
