ABSTRACT

To valorize olive stones, this study focuses on the composition of their dilute-acid hydrolysate DAH and aims to highlight the effect of the overliming process to achieve an effective treatment that maximizes sugar concentrations while minimizing the number of toxic materials. The study examined the impact of pH (10 and 12), temperature (25 and 60 °C), and detoxification time (15, 30, and 60 min) on the viability and vitality of M. pulcherrima and S. cerevisiae, using an experimental design of 2231. Detoxification was significantly influenced by pH and temperature, with xylose and furans probably following the same kinetic degradation. Viability improved to 52% for M. pulcherrima and 67% for S. cerevisiae in detoxified hydrolysate due to reduced toxic compounds. Optimal conditions were found to be a pH of 10 at 25 °C for 30 min, achieving 71% and 62% degradation of hydroxymethylfurfural and furfural, respectively, with a minimum polyphenol concentration of 580 mg·L−1. M. pulcherima exhibited greater vitality than S. cerevisiae because of the medium’s high xylose content and low glucose concentration. Conversely, pH 12 not only promoted sugar (xylose) loss but also generated new toxic compounds that negatively affected yeast development. To improve fermentation, further attention needs to be paid to these conditions.
