Mathematical models are important tools for optimizing the design and operation of solid-state fermentation (SSF) bioreactors. Such models must describe the transport phenomena within the substrate bed and mass and energy exchanges between the bed and the other subsystems of the bioreactor, such as the bioreactor wall and headspace gases. The sophistication with which this has been done for SSF...

The production of ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass is referred as a second generation biofuel, whose processing is one of the most promising technologies under development. There are few available studies on the use of enzymes produced by fungi as active for the biodegradation of lignocellulosic biomass. However, the manganese peroxidase (MnP) enzyme presents high potential to degrade ligni...

BACKGROUND Economically feasible cellulosic ethanol production requires that the process can be operated at high solid loadings, which currently imparts technical challenges including inefficient mixing leading to heat and mass transfer limitations and high concentrations of inhibitory compounds hindering microbial activity during simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process. Co...

L-methioninase has received much attention for its tumor selective anticancer activity. This study investigates the production and optimization of extracellular L-methioninase enzyme using several agro-industrial residues by Aspergillus flavipes MTCC 6337 using SSF (solid state fermentation). Effect of process variables namely substrates, incubation period, temperature, moisture content, inocul...

The potential of fungal pretreatment to improve fermentable sugar yields from wheat straw or Miscanthus was investigated. We assessed 63 fungal strains including 53 white-rot and 10 brown-rot fungi belonging to the Basidiomycota phylum in an original 12 day small-scale solid-state fermentation (SSF) experiment using 24-well plates. This method offers the convenience of one-pot processing of sam...

Abstract Solid-state fermentation (SSF) may be a suitable bioprocess to produce protein-vegetal ingredients with increased nutritional and functional value. This study assessed changes in phenol content, antinutrient biomass production protein resulting from the metabolic activity of Pleurotus ostreatus , an edible fungus, lentils quinoa over 14 days SSF. The impact particle size on these param...

The filamentous fungus Aspergillus caespitosus was a good producer of intracellular and extracellular invertases under submerged (SbmF) or solid-state fermentation (SSF), using agroindustrial residues, such as wheat bran, as carbon source. The production of extracellular enzyme under SSF at 30°C, for 72h, was enhanced using SR salt solution (1:1, w/v) to humidify the substrate. The extracellula...

Onion (Allium cepa) is a valuable vegetable and candidate for sustainable waste management in agri-food industry. The purpose of the current paper was to research utilization onion peels an economical substrate inulinase production by Yarrowia lipolytica ISF7 strain under solid state fermentation (SSF). SSF preferred obtain effective low-cost production. medium designation optimized using Taguc...

Amylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of starch into sugars and plays a pivotal role in a variety of areas like use as digestives, for the production of ethanol and high fructose corn syrup, detergents, desiring of textiles, modified starches, hydrolysis of oil-field drilling fluids, and paper recycling. In the present work, solid state fermentation (SSF) for α -amylase production h...
