N.sitophila was grown under controlled conditions of solid state and submerged fermentation on Sago hampas. The optimum conditions of protein enrichment previously established for sugar beet pulp was used for this study. Under this condition the protein content of Sago hampas under solid state increased from 1.4 to 14.45% (W/W) whereas for Sago hampas and Sago starch, the protein content under ...

Pretreatment has been recognized as a key step in enzyme-based conversion processes of lignocellulose biomass to ethanol. The aim of this study is to evaluate two hydrothermal pretreatments (steam explosion and liquid hot water) to enhance ethanol production from poplar (Populus nigra) biomass by a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) process. The composition of liquid and solid...

To obtain high concentration of ethanol from cellulose, corncob was pretreated with acid and alkali to remove non-cellulose components, and then subjected to simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF). An ethanol concentration as high as 69.2 g/L was achieved with 19% dry matter (DM) using batch SSF, resulting in an 81.2% overall ethanol yield. A fed-batch process using a high solid c...

this work examined the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (ssf) process for the biological conversion rice wastewater into ethanol using co-culture of aspergillus niger (a. niger) and saccharomyces cerevisiae (s. cerevisiae) in batch condition. in this study, the a. niger and s. cerevisiae were used for hydrolysis and production of ethanol from rice wastewater, respectively. the effe...

Olive mill wastewaters and olive cake are effluents generated during oil production process. They represent a major disposal potentially severe pollution problem for the industry, also promising source of substances high value. The aim this study is valorization wastes (OMWW, cake, twigs leaves) to produce enzymes with industrial biotechnological potential, by solid-state fermentation technique ...

Filamentous fungi are considered to be the most important group of microorganisms for the production of plant cell wall degrading enzymes (CWDE), in solid state fermentations. In this study, two fungal strains Aspergillus niger MS23 and Aspergillus terreus MS105 were screened for plant CWDE such as amylase, pectinase, xylanase and cellulases (β-glucosidase, endoglucanase and filterpaperase) usi...

Antioxidant phenolic compounds (PCs) are gaining popularity day by day for their health promoting properties. Wheat is a very good source of natural antioxidant PCs. In the present study, extraction of PCs was improved by solid-state fermentation (SSF) of wheat by Rhizopus oryzae RCK2012 which helped to release the bound compounds from matrix. Different extraction conditions such as solvent com...

Three distinct forms (Lip A, Lip B and Lip C) of extra-cellular lipases (EC3.1.1.3), produced by Candida rugosa in solid state fermentation (SSF) were purified and characterised. SSF was carried out in glass columns using coconut oil cake and wheat bran. The enzyme was purified from the aqueous extract of fermented matter by ammonium sulphate precipitation, dialysis, ultra-filtration and gel fi...

The present article implies an extracellular phytase production by Aspergillus niger under submerged and solid fermentation. Physical and Chemical conditions tested for optimal production of phytase using the single variable mode optimization technique. A considerable higher phytase production was obtained using rice bran as solid substrate (17.8 U/ml & 28.6 U/ml) at pH 5, on 4 day of incubatio...
