Characterization of multienzyme solutions produced by solid-state fermentation of babassu cake, for use in cold hydrolysis of raw biomass

Performance of a fixed-bed solid-state fermentation bioreactor with forced aeration for the production of hydrolases by Aspergillus awamori

“…Babassu cake was selected as the feedstock because it contains mostly carbohydrates and proteins and has shown to induce the production and secretion of an enzyme pool that is very promising for biorefinery applications [13,14].…”

“…The raw enzyme pools were shown to efficiently promote cold hydrolysis of complex agroindustrial raw materials such as canola (Brassica napus), sunflower (Helianthus annus) and castor bean (Ricinus communis) cakes [12], as well as of babassu (Orbygnia phalerata) flour [13,14]. Thus, the development of scalable SSF bioreactors can be useful for a future industrial production of these hydrolases.…”

A Threshold-Based Weather Model for Predicting Stripe Rust Infection in Winter Wheat

“…Although A. awamori is known to be an efficient producer of glucoamylases, it can also produce hydrolytic enzymes, such as amylases, proteases, cellulases and xylanases when growing on complex substrates, such as mixed FW in SSF [24,25]. It has been reported that fermented solids obtained from the SSF of babassu cake with A. awamori contained considerable activities of proteases, xylanases and cellulase activities besides amylases [25]. About 90 -95% of starch in FW was hydrolyzed by the fungal mash produced in this study.…”

Bioethanol production from mixed food waste by an effective enzymatic pretreatment

“…amylases, proteases, cellulases and xylanases) when growing on complex substrates like FW in SSF [27]. It had been reported that the fermented solution obtained from the SSF of babassu cake with A. awamori contained considerable activities of proteases, xylanases, and cellulase other than amylases [28]. Table 2 presents the activities of the hydrolytic enzymes in the fungal mash produced in this study.…”
