Applicability of Agro-Industrial By-Products in Intelligent Food Packaging

Kojic Acid Production from Agro-Industrial By-Products Using Fungi

A total of 278 different isolates of filamentous fungi were screened using synthetic medium for respective ability to produce kojic acid. Nineteen, six, and five isolates proved to be low, moderate, and high kojic acid producers, respectively. Levels of kojic acid produced were generally increased when shaking cultivation was used rather than those obtained using static cultivation. A trial for...

Lipase Production Using Microorganisms from Different Agro-Industrial By- Products

This work is focused on the study of different microorganisms to obtain a high level of lipase. It was selected 6 different microorganisms: Geotrichum candidum NRRLY-552, Geotrichum sp., Fusarium oxysporum and three wild yeasts from Brazil rainforest. Fermentation carried out using agro industrial by-products like corn steep liquor and protein hydrolysed in shaken flasks under different conditi...

The Potential of Tropical Agro-Industrial by-Products as a Functional Feed for Poultry
