Saccharification and protein enrichment of sugar beet pulp byPleurotus florida

  • Published:
Biotechnology Techniques

Summary

Pleurotus florida was grown in submerged culture with different concentrations of sugar beet pulp with a view to its nutritional upgrading. Micelial growth, protein enrichment and dry weight loss of the solid residues of cultures, as well as the evolution of reducing sugars in the liquid medium, were followed for 14 days. A product with 45% (w/w) protein and a saccharification extent as high as 35% (w/w) were obtained after 7 days with 1% (w/v) sugar beet pulp.
