  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. 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

  6. 5. Production of biocomposite materials from filamentous fungi grown on apple pomace

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

    Author : Angela Sabbagh; Susanna Bahari; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Managing and reducing food waste has increasingly become a global problem in later years, including food waste in the form of fruit pulp from the juice and beverage production industries. Another current urgent issue is the need for a replacement of fossil fuel-based plastics with more sustainable biopolymers. READ MORE
