Comprehensive utilization of Aspergillus niger mycelium waste from citric acid fermentation on the basis of steam explosion and ionic liquid pretreatment
Abstract:Background Aspergillus niger mycelium waste, a by-product from citric acid fermentation is considered a good raw material to produce fungal chitosan and glucosamine (GlcN). However, its successful application has always been a challenge.Results In this work, the effects of combined pretreatment involving steam explosion and ionic liquid (IL) on mycelium waste were investigated. Results show that pretreatment of mycelium waste at 2.5 MPa for 1 min improved the GlcN hydrochloride yield by 65.49%, the release of … Show more
