Resumo
Os sub-produtos da industrialização da mandioca são partes constituintes da própria planta, gerados em função do processo tecnológico adotado no seu beneficiamento. Tanto a qualidade como a quantidade dos sub-produtos pode variar em função de fatores diversos, como cultivar, idade da planta, tempo após a colheita, tipo e regulagem do equipamento industrial, etc. Considerando-se os principais tipos de processamento de raízes de mandioca no Brasil, como a fabricação de farinha de mandioca e a extração de fécula, os sub-produtos gerados podem ser sólidos ou líquidos. Como sólidos, destaca-se a casca marrom, a entre casca, o descarte, a crueira, a fibra, o bagaço e a varredura. A crueira é constituída por pedaços de raízes e entre casca, separados por peneiras antes do forno, no processamento da farinha de mandioca. Neste trabalho, realizaram-se todas as etapas para a caracterização físico-química da crueira. No aspecto energético, avaliaram-se dois processos para obtenção de hidrolisado a partir de amostras de crueira, para obtenção de álcool fino. Primeiramente utilizou-se a via de hidrólise com ataque ácido, que foi descartada, devido dificuldades de processo e maior custo; e paralelamente, o material foi tratado por hidrólise enzimática em escala laboratorial, bem como em batelada. Para ambos os processos de hidrólise enzimática, determinou-se a eficiência e rendimento econômico para produção de álcool fino, onde verificou-se um rendimento de 65,8%. Uma tonelada de crueira é capaz de produzir aproximadamente 370 litros de álcool fino, visando sua reciclagem por parte das farinheiras. Concluiu-se que o resíduo crueira pode ser considerado economicamente viável como substrato para produção de álcool fino, e que a eficiência do processo é melhor quando a hidrólise é realizada por ação enzimática.
Sub-products of the cassava industrialization are constituent parts of the proper plant, generated in function of the adopted technological process in its improvement. As much the quality as the amount of sub-products can vary in function of diverse factors, as to cultivate, age of the plant, time after the harvest, type and regulation of the industrial equipment, etc. Considering the main types of processing of cassava roots in Brazil, as the cassava flour production and the extration of starch, the sub generated products can be solid or liquid. As solid, it is pointed out brown rind, between rind, the discarding, the crueira, the fiber, the bagasse and varredura. The crueira is constituted by pieces of roots and between rind, separate for bolters before the oven, in the processing of the cassava flour. In this work, all the stages for the physical-chemistry crueira characterization had been become fullfilled. In the energy aspect, two processes for hidrolisate attainment had been evaluated from samples of crueira, for fine alcohol attainment. First it was used hydrolysis way with acid attack, that was discarded, because of difficulties of process and higher cost; parallel, the material was treated by enzymatic hydrolysis in laboratorial scale, as well as in bath. For both enzymatic hydrolysis processes, it was determined efficiency and economic income for fine alcohol production, where a 65,8% income was verified. A ton of crueira is capable to produce 370 liters of fine alcohol approximately, aiming at its recycling on the part of the cassava flour industry. It was concluded that the crueira residue can be considered economically viable as substratum for fine alcohol production, and the efficiency of the process is better when the hydrolysis is carried through by enzymatic action.
