Coir pith represents~50% of the waste from the coir industries and was tested for its potential in serving as a growth substrate for the production of species of oyster mushroom, Pleurotus florida. Due to its high lignin (~48%) content and amorphous powdery nature, coir pith supported poor mushroom mycelial growth and yields were considerably low (~25% bioconversion efficiency). Pre-treating coir pith with hot water did not prove economical to produce the mushroom yields. Acid swelling and alkali delignification of coir pith though served to change the structure of coir pith; the mushroom yields were not improved. Amendment of coir pith with rice (Oryza sativa) straw and horse gram (Dolichos biflorus) plant residue tended to greatly modify the physical characteristics of the inoculated mushroom bed. Such a supplementation of coir pith growth substrate resulted in production of mushroom yields with 110-125% bioconversion efficiency. Implications of supplementing coir pith with rice straw/horse gram plant residue in terms of holocellulose:lignin ratio are discussed. Sensorially, the mushrooms so produced did not differ from that on rice straw, the economic growth substrate recommended for production of the mushroom yields on commercial scale. Changes in cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin contents of coir pith amended with rice straw were studied. Cellulase, hemicellulase and protease enzyme activities in the amended coir pith substrate showed a continuous increase from inoculation till the end of fructification, whereas laccase activity decreased during fructification, in consonance with decreased lignin degradation during fructification.

“…The total starch was determined by the method of Chiang and Johnson (1977). Total carbohydrate was quantified by phenol sulphuric acid method as described by Dubois et al (1956) and modified by Wankhede and Tharanthan (1976). Amylose content was determined as per the method described by Scott, Hugh, and Colin (1998).…”

“…Sesame contains D-glucose (3.63%) and Dfructose (3.43%) as the main carbohydrates, 22) and has a particularly high content of methionine (2.5 ~4.0%) and total sulfurcontaining amino acids (methionine + cystine; 3.8 ~ 5.5%).23) A large quantity of hydrogen sulfide,24) methanethiol,24) and ethanethiol 25 ) has been produced by the pyrolysis of cystine or methionine. I-Hydroxy-2-propanone, 1-hydroxy-2-butanone and 4-hydroxy-2-butanone have previously been reported as fructose degradation products.…”
