AbstractObjective: Glucoamylase is a hydrolyzing enzyme with several industrial applications. Glucoamylase was produced via a solid state fermentation by three naturally occurring zygomycetes fungi of Mucor indicus, Mucor hiemalis, and Rhizopus oryzae on wheat bran.Methods: The effects of cultivation temperature, medium moisture content, and cultivation time on the enzyme production were investigated. Experiments were designed with an orthogonal central composite design on the three variables using response surface methodology (RSM).Results: For glucoamylase production, the optimum temperature and medium moisture content for the three fungi were 26.6°C and 71.8%, respectively. The optimum cultivation time for M. hiemalis and R. oryzae was 33.1 h, while it was 66.8 h for M. indicus. At optimum conditions, glucoamylase production by M. indicus, M. hiemalis, and R. oryzae was respectively 255.3, 272.3, and 1545.3 U per g dry substrate.Conclusion: R. oryzae is a suitable candidate for industrial production of glucoamylase.

Rice bran is the outermost part of the rice grain wrapped in rice husks. Rice bran contains macro and micro nutrients that are bound to fibers that affect psychochemical properties when used in food products. The purpose of this study was to increase the nutritional value of rice bran with solid state fermentation using Rhizopus oryzae FNCC 6011 in tray bioreactor at 30°C for 120 h. The results showed an increase in protein, fat and ash content by 58.5%, 124.5%, and 18.6%, respectively, while carbohydrate and fiber content decreased respectively by 25.6% and 51.2%. The deceleration model successfully depicts the profile of biomass growth and improved protein. The kinetic parameters obtained k, A, and YPX were 0.0536/h, 5.2537, and 0.1821 g/g, respectively.

Amylase is an amylolytic enzyme used in food industry which is generally produced by Aspergillus spp. under solid state fermentation. The present study is concerned with the isolation, screening and selection of suitable strains of Aspergillus spp. and optimization of cultural conditions for the biosynthesis of amylase. Rice and wheat brans were used as substrates which are readily available inexpensive raw materials for amylase production. From 85 samples of rice and wheat grains, 55 colonies obtained on potato dextrose agar (PDA) were suspected to be Aspergillus oryzae and only 35 colonies possessed the morphological characteristics similar to that of A. oryzae indicating the isolates were most likely the strains of A. oryzae. Of all the fungal isolates of Aspergillus spps., Asp.31 gave maximum production of amylase (720.782 IUgds-1) in solid state fermentation media. This strain was selected as a parental strain for optimization for cultural conditions. The obtained data were analyzed using SPSS- 11.5 program. Of all the substrates (rice bran, wheat bran and their mixture), rice bran was the best for producing amylase of highest activity 611.614 IUgds-1.The highest enzyme activity of 698.749 IUgds-1 was observed at 50% initial moisture level of the substrate. The optimum temperature was 25°C for producing the crude amylase enzyme with amylase activity of 577.757 IUgds-1.

Solid-state fermentation (SSF) of rice bran (RB) employing the edible fungus Pleurotus sapidus was investigated as a process strategy to improve the nutritional quality of this low-cost and abundant substrate. During fermentation, samples were withdrawn at different time intervals (4, 6, and 10 days) and further analyzed. Established methods were deployed to monitor the changes in nutritional composition (carbohydrates, proteins, ash, and lipids). Additionally, changes in fatty acid composition was studied as a function of culture progress. Results showed that the SSF of rice bran increased total carbohydrates from 36.6% to 50.2%, total proteins from 7.4% to 12.8%, and ash from 7.6% to 11.5%. However, the total lipid content was reduced from 48.5% to 27.8%. The fatty acid (FA) composition of RB included mainly oleic, linoleic, and palmitic acids. Upon fermentation with P. sapidus, small differences were found: linoleic acid and oleic acid content were increased by 0.4% and 1.1%, respectively, while palmitic acid content was reduced by 0.8%. This study demonstrated an improvement in the nutritional quality of RB after fermentation with P. sapidus, since protein, carbohydrates, minerals, and specific FA components were increased. As a whole, our results indicate that fermented rice bran could be used as a high-quality animal feed supplement.

Amyloglucosidase (AMG) and exo-polygalacturonase (exo-PG) were simultaneously produced by two different strains of Aspergillus niger in solid-state fermentation (SSF) using defatted rice-bran as substrate. The effect of Aspergillus niger strain (t0005/007-2 and/or CCT 3312), inoculum type (spore suspension or fermented bran) and addition of inducers (pectin and/or starch) to the culture media was studied using a 3² x 2¹ factorial experimental design. The production of AMG and exo-PG was significantly affected by fungal strain and inoculum type but inducers had no effect. The maximum yields obtained were 1310 U/g dm for AMG using a spore suspension of A. niger CCT 3312 and 50.2 U/g dm for exo-PG production, using A. niger t0005/007-2 and fermented bran as inoculum. The yields obtained represented acceptable values in comparison with data available in the literature and indicated that defatted rice-bran was a good nutrient source.
