Background and Objectives: Cellulase is an important enzyme with multiple applications in industries, including food, laundry, pharmaceutical, textile, pulp, paper and biofuel industries. Solid-state fermentation (SSF) is a method for cellulase production, which includes several advantages, compared to submerged fermentation. In this study, cellulase was produced by three filamentous fungi, i.e...

Large amount of wastes is generated every year from the industrial processing of agricultural raw materials. Most of these wastes are used as animal feed or burned as alternative for elimination. However, such wastes usually have a composition rich in sugars, minerals and proteins, and therefore, they should not be considered “wastes” but raw materials for other industrial processes. The presen...

In this study, the effect of pretreatment and solid-state fermentation (SSF) on tempeh protein content has been studied. Pretreatment SSF are important processes for producing high-quality tempeh. Based results analysis using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer at ?max = 540 nm, it is known that both cause reduced content. causes total (w/w) to decrease rapidly from 1.05% 0.82%, while dissolved 0.57% 0....

Cellulase serves vast applications in the industries of biofuel, pulp and paper, detergent and textile. With the presence of its three components i.e. endoglucanase, exoglucanase and bglucosidase, the enzyme can effectively depolymerize the cellulose chains in lignocellulosic substrate to produce smaller sugar units that consist of cellobiose and glucose. Fungi are the most suitable cellulase p...

26 The effect of liquid (LSF) and solid state fermentation (SSF) of lentils for production 27 of water-soluble fractions with antioxidant and antihypertensive properties was 28 studied. LSF was performed either spontaneously (NF) or by Lactobacillus plantarum 29 (LP) while SSF was performed by Bacillus subtilis (BS). Native lactic flora in NF 30 adapted better than L. plantarum to fermentative ...

The production of a thermostable and highly alkaline pectinase by Bacillus pumilus dcsr1 was optimized in solid-state fermentation (SSF) and the impact of various treatments (chemical, enzymatic, and in combination) on the quality of ramie fibres was investigated. Maximum enzyme titer (348.0 ± 11.8 Ug(-1) DBB) in SSF was attained, when a mixture of agro-residues (sesame oilseed cake, wheat bran...

This article reports the production of high levels of L-asparaginase from a new isolate of Aspergillus niger in solid state fermentation (SSF) using agro-wastes from three leguminous crops (bran of Cajanus cajan, Phaseolus mungo, and Glycine max). When used as the sole source for growth in SSF, bran of G. max showed maximum enzyme production followed by that of P. mungo and C. cajan. A 96-h fer...

A critical review of the phenomenon of resistance to catabolite repression of enzyme synthesis by solid-state fermentation (SSF) has been made. The practical and theoretical importance of such phenomenon is commented, together with the current ideas to explain it. Namely, the possible existence of microscopic gradients within the mass of cell aggregates, or the changes in cell permeability to s...

production of thermostable alkaline protease in tray bioreactor for solid state fermentation is a unique process which may lead to an economical approach for production of enzyme from agricultural waste or low cost substrate. in solid state fermentation using tray bioreactor, several agricultural residues such as rice bran, sugarcane bagasse, wheat bran, barely bran, corn meal and corn husk wer...
