Abstract:Coffee
production generates large volumes of waste, which have
the potential to cause pollution problems to soil and water and loss
of biodiversity. Coffee pulp was used as a substrate for the production
of the edible mushroom Pleurotus pulmonarius, a high protein content product (17.8% ± 0.84%). The spent
mushroom substrate (SMS) resulting from fungus production showed a
decrease in lignin (49.7% ± 12%), cellulose (33.7% ± 10.8%),
and phenolic compound (87% ± 2%) content, which avoids contamination
of soil an… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
