Abstract:The current study
aimed at the valorization of bread waste in a
fungal biorefinery for the recovery of protein hydrolysate for food
applications and monofilaments for medical textile applications. Rhizopus delemar was cultivated on bread waste in a 1 m3 airlift bioreactor to obtain fungal biomass. The protein
hydrolysate was isolated as a soluble fraction after a mild enzymatic
treatment of fungal biomass with a protease enzyme. The recovered
protein hydrolysate was rich in eight essential amino acids and show… Show more
