1. 1. Edible fungal biomass production using banana peel

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Jennifer Fredes Skogh; Carolina Johansson; [2023]
   Keywords : Animal feed; filamentous fungi; bio-circular economic; mycoprotein; pretreatment;

   Abstract : Banana peels account for about 61 million tons of waste each year globally. The aim of this project was to investigate the possibility of using banana peels as a substrate to cultivate edible filamentous fungi. READ MORE

3. 2. Production of textile fibres from filamentous fungi grown on apple pomace : invertase pre-treatment

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Sofia Berg; [2023]
   Keywords : apple pomace; invertase; fibres; filamentous fungi; dry gel spinning;

   Abstract : In this work Rhizopus Delemar was grown on an apple pomace medium, a waste product from the juice industry. The apple pomace was pre-treated with the enzyme invertase to hydrolyse the sucrose available in the waste to glucose and fructose, which are digestible by the fungus. READ MORE

4. 3. Optimization of sterilization method for cultivation of filamentous fungi on lemon waste

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Oliver Conradsson; David Ljungberg; [2023]
   Keywords : Lemon waste; lemon waste; sterilization; autoclavation; fungal cultivation; bubble column bioreactor; fungal biomass Rhizopus delemar;

   Abstract : Consumption of citrus fruits and citrus juice production creates wastes, which could be valorized by using it for cultivating fungi. Before cultivation, the medium needs to be sterilized though autoclavation. Larger volumes used when autoclaving requires longer heating cycles and therefore runs the risk of degrading the medium to a greater extent. READ MORE

5. 4. Beyond the Bubbles : a Study of Fungal Diversity and Gushing in Beer Production

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

   Author : Alexander Pettersson; [2023]
   Keywords : Fusarium Head Blight; Fungal communities; Metabarcoding; Amplicon sequencing Malting barley; Gushing; Pink kernels; Random forests;

   Abstract : Gushing, violent and spontaneous over-foaming of beer, is a well-known quality reducing phenomenon encountered in the brewing industry. The present study investigated the impact of fungal contamination in barley grains, specifically focusing on gushing and the occurrence of pink kernels. READ MORE

6. 5. Production of filamentous fungal biomass on waste-derived volatile fatty acids for ruminant feed supplementation and it's in vitro digestion analysis

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

   Author : Mohammadali Bouzarjomehr; [2022]
   Keywords : VFAs volatile-fatty-acids ; Fungi production; Feed production.; Fermentation processes; Aspergillus oryzae; A. oryzae fungal biomass; Sustainability; Rumen fluids; Evaluation of the digestibility of the produced fungal biomass; TT method analysis; Gas production method; Nylon bag method analysis;

   Abstract : Single cell proteins such as that of edible filamentous fungal biomass are considered as a promising sustainable source of animal feed supplementation. Filamentous fungi can be cultivated on different organic substrates including volatile fatty acids (VFAs) such as acetic, propionic, and butyric acids. READ MORE
