  1. 11. Investigation of the binding effect of fungal fiber (grown on apple pomace) in the formation of lyocell nonwoven textiles and their potential applications

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

    Author : Xue Luo; [2021]
    Keywords : lyocell; nonwovens; binder; filamentous fungi; wet-laid; fungal microfibers; apple pomace; cellulose;

    Abstract : This project combines nonwoven technology, biological technology and food waste management and seeks for this feasibility to use fungal microfiber (FM) as a binder for lyocell pro-duction and the characterizations for possible applications. Rhizopus delemar was cultivated apple pomace in liquid-state fermentation to obtain mycelia biomass. READ MORE

  5. 14. Growth of filamentous fungi in pure olive oil : a fundamental study for application to vegetable oil-derived waste streams

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

    Author : Tahir Muhammad Nazir; [2020]
    Keywords : filamentous fungi; oleaginous fungi; Aspergillus oryzae; Neurospora intermedia; olive oil; fat; fungal biomass;

    Abstract : Vegetable oil is more difficult to degrade by microorganisms in comparison to carbohydrates and protein. Thus, it creates serious environmental and health concerns if oil-derived waste streams produced by restaurants and industries remain untreated. READ MORE

  6. 15. Filamentous fungus Paecilomyces variotii in feed for Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) : assessment of apparent digestibility and early signs of inflammation

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Amanda Dahlberg; [2019]
    Keywords : Rainbow trout; single cell protein; Paecilomyces variotii; apparent digest-ibility coefficient; inflammation;

    Abstract : Aquaculture production has been increasing rapidly over the last few decades and therefore the amount of feed needed for the increasing production is also on the rise. Salmonids and other farmed carnivorous fish require high amount of protein in their diets, which is currently supplied mostly by fish meal or soy bean. READ MORE
