Application of solid-state fermentation to food industry—A review

Isolation and Characterization of Amylase Producing Yeasts and Improvement of Amylase Production

“…In our study, the yeast strains were investigated for amylase production in submerged fermentation (SmF) process using a suitable medium. SmF has been traditionally used for the production of industrially important enzymes because of the ease of control of different parameters such as pH, temperature, aeration and oxygen transfer and moisture [5,24].…”

Use of Agro-Industrial Wastes in Solid-State Fermentation Processes

“…strains are the most utilized microorganisms to produce this acid; and sugarcane bagasse, sugarcane press mud and carrot-processing wastes have been used as substrates in these processes. The production of L(+)-lactic acid by R. oryzae in SSF conditions using sugarcane bagasse as support material was demonstrated to promote slightly higher productivity than the production in SmF conditions (Couto & Sanromàn, 2006). L. Paracasei and L. delbrueckii bacteria have also been reported to efficiently produce this acid by SSF.…”

Wood production, wood technology, and biotechnological impacts

“…In each case, the solid substrate (respectively inert matrix) is indicated by the plaid pattern. Schemes were simplified from diagrams by Rodríguez Couto & Sanromán (2006b). Further explanations in Table 1 Crueger , Merchuk 2003.…”

“…2B), the need for a sterile or non-sterile process, general process control and up-scaling can put restraints on the reactor design , Durand 2003. In contrast, cultivation of mixed organisms is more easily Table 1 Properties of bioreactor types used in SSF (Cen & Xia 1999, Durand 2003, Rodríguez Couto & Sanromán 2006b; compare also Fig. 2B Damage to the inoculum through sheer forces feasible in SSF which can be of advantage in production of enzyme mixtures and increasing absolute yields (Hölker et al 2004;see below).…”
