Enzymatic hydrolysis of almond hulls for cultivation of edible filamentous fungi.

ABSTRACT: Enzymatic hydrolysis and liquefaction of the residual almond hull solids (RAHS) after sugar extraction were studied. The hydrolysis performance of three different enzymes (Cellic CTec2, Viscozyme L and Pectinex Ultra SPL) were investigated. The ability of Aspergillus awamori and Aspergillus oryzae in utilizing the hydrolysate was evaluated. In 50 mL Falcon tubes, the combination of 200 [Formula: see text]L/g RAHS of Cellic Ctec2 and 60 [Formula: see text]L/g RAHS of Viscozyme L enzymes resulted in the optimal performance, with total sugar yield of 47.21%, total fiber conversion of 86.01%, and liquefaction efficiency of 51.61%. Applying these optimal conditions in 250 mL glass bottles resulted in higher liquefaction efficiency of 72.53%, while total fiber conversion was same as that in Falc
