Decolorization of molasses by a new isolate of Geotrichum candidum in a jar fermenter

  • Published:

Abstract

Decolorization of crude molasses by a newly isolated dye-decolorizing fungus, Geotrichum candidum Dec 1, was conducted in a jar fermentor system having fan-type propellers and a pressure swing adsorption oxygen generator. The oxygen-fortified air supply was effective not only to obtain a highest decolorization degree of 80% molasses but also the highest peroxidase activity which is responsible for the decolorization of the dyes. © Rapid Science Ltd. 1998
