The effect of different nitrogen resources on the biosynthesis of milk clotting enzyme by Rhizmucor miehei was studied under solid state fermentation using wheat bran as base medium. Urea, peptone, albumin, casein, yeast extract were added with different concentrations (1%-10%). The response parameters were the ratio of milk clotting activity (MC) to proteolytic activity (PA) and protein content. The highest enzyme yield was achieved with casein at a rate of 2% w/w followed by 2% yeast extract, 1% albumin, 1% peptone, and 1% urea with values 5.6, 4.9, 4.2, 4, 3 mg/mL, respectively. Maximum enzyme activity (MCA/PA) was 50.4, 44.1, 37.8, 36, 27 SU for casein, yeast extract, albumin, peptone, and urea, respectively.

Functional properties of fermented bran produced by Aspergillus oryzae and Rhizopus sp. in a solid-state fermentation system were determined, with an aim to evaluate their application in food formulation. The defatted rice bran and wheat bran were inoculated with the spores of the cultures and incubated at 30º C for 72 h. Samples were withdrawn at 0, 24, 48 and 72 h. Protein content, protein solubility, in-vitro digestibility, gelation and water holding capacity were determined in bran with or without fermentation. Rhizopus sp. increased significantly the protein content (69.0 and 56.0%, respectively, for defatted rice bran and wheat bran); protein solubility (28.5 and 36.2) and water holding capacity (11.4% for wheat bran). When A. oryzae was used all these properties were modified significantly after fermentation.

Xylanases are enzymes that convert xylan into xylose, xylobiose, and xylotriose. The present study deals with the production and optimization of xylanase through Solid-State Fermentation (SSF) using different agricultural wastes by   Aspergillus spp. The Plackett Burman (PB) design was used to screen significant media components affecting the xylanase production. The carbon sources screened were wheat bran, rice bran, sugarcane bagasse, corn cob, and orange peel. The nitrogen sources screened were yeast extract, peptone, (NH4)2SO4, Na2NO3, and urea. Also, nine different salts such as KCl, MgSO4, Na2HPO4, CaCl2, FeSO4, ZnSO4, Na2CO3, KH2PO4, and NaH2PO4 which act as trace elements were screened. The results showed that wheat bran, yeast extract, Na2NO3 and KCl are the significant factors that affect xylanase production. A 33 Full Factorial Design (FFD) was performed to optimize the significant media components (wheat bran, KCl, yeast extract) obtained from PB design using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Statistical analysis of results showed that wheat bran, KCl, yeast extract, and interaction between wheat bran and yeast extract were found to be significant. The optimum concentration of wheat bran, KCl, yeast extract was 8 g/L, 0.1 g/L and 3 g/L. The Partial purification of xylanase was carried out using ammonium salt precipitation and dialysis. Gel filtration chromatography was performed to optimize the elution time, which was found to be 6 minutes. Application of xylanase in orange juice clarification was studied at 40 °C, 50 °C, and 60 °C. The optimum temperature obtained was 60 ºC.

The extraction of alpha-amylase in the solid state fermentation of wheat bran by Bacillus circulans GRS313 was optimized. Among various solvents tested, maximum extraction was achieved when 2.5% (v/v) glycerol was added. The optimum conditions for extraction were 2.5 hrs soaking time at 30° C under recirculation and agitated condition, which yielded 590 U/g bran of enzyme activity. Whereas under stationary soaking condition the activity of the enzyme was 439.58U/g bran. With repeated wash under the above optimum conditions showed that 600 U/g and 184.2 U/g of enzyme extracted in the 1st and 2nd washes respectively and only 36.84 U/g was recovered in the 3rd wash

To get the potential of lalcat acid bacteria isolate to produce Milk Clotting Enzyme (MCE), it is necessary to screen milk clotting activity both quantitatively and qualitatively. Through qualitative observation, the characteristics of the curd resulting from enzyme activity can be obtained. MCE is a protease that has the characteristics of milking. Based on the results of this observational research, the curd characteristic produced can be used as a benchmark to determine the length of time of fermentation and optimization of the determination of ammonium sulfate precipitation concentration. Isolate BAL shows the results of a compact curd at a fermentation time of 25 hours at 37 ℃ and the optimization results of the deposition of ammonium sulfate which shows the characteristics of a compact curd by 45% ammonium sulfate.

Currently, obtaining enzymatic preparations with low production costs is the ultimate challenge for researchers worldwide. This study compares the productivity of pectinolytic enzymes using Penicillium oxalicum strain in submerged and solid state fermentation. Agro-industrial residues used as carbon sources were beet pulp, wheat bran and rapeseed cake. Enzyme production was higher in both fermentation types using wheat bran. Comparing the two types of fermentation, it was observed that enzyme activity is higher in solid state fermentation. The maximal activity was reached after seven days by solid state fermentation. Pectinase activity decreased progressively after 96 days, in solid state fermentation when was used beet pulp and rapeseed cake. Optimum pH and temperature for the crude enzyme activity was obtained by wheat bran in solid state fermentation at 5 and 60°C, respectively. The crude enzyme lost 50% of its activity after 40 minutes, when was heated at 60°C.

The present study describes the screening of different agroindustrial byproducts for enhanced production of alkaline protease by a wild and EMS induced mutant strain ofBacillus subtilisIH-72EMS8. During submerged fermentation, different agro-industrial byproducts were tested which include defatted seed meals of rape, guar, sunflower, gluten, cotton, soybean, and gram. In addition to these meals, rice bran, wheat bran, and wheat flour were also evaluated for protease production. Of all the byproducts tested, soybean meal at a concentration of 20 g/L gave maximum production of the enzyme, that is, 5.74  ±  0.26 U/mL from wild and 11.28  ±  0.45 U/mL from mutant strain, during submerged fermentation. Different mesh sizes (coarse, medium, and fine) of the soybean meal were also evaluated, and a finely ground soybean meal (fine mesh) was found to be the best. In addition to the defatted seed meals, their alkali extracts were also tested for the production of alkaline protease byBacillus subtilis, but these were proved nonsignificant for enhanced production of the enzyme. The production of the enzyme was also studied in solid state fermentation, and different agro-industrial byproducts were also evaluated for enzyme production. Wheat bran partially replaced with guar meal was found as the best substrate for maximum enzyme production under solid state fermentation conditions.

Abstract Aspergillus oryzae RIB40 has 11 aspartic endopeptidase genes. We searched for milk-clotting enzymes based on the homology of the deduced amino acid sequence with chymosins. As a result, we identified a milk-clotting enzyme in A. oryzae. We expected other Aspergillus species to have a homologous enzyme with milk-clotting activity, and we found the most homologous aspartic endopeptidase from A. luchuensis had milk-clotting activity. Surprisingly, two enzymes were considered as vacuole enzymes according to a study on A. niger proteases. The two enzymes from A. oryzae and A. luchuensis cleaved a peptide between the 105Phe-106Met bond in κ-casein, similar to chymosin. Although both enzymes showed proteolytic activity using casein as a substrate, the optimum pH values for milk-clotting and proteolytic activities were different. Furthermore, the substrate specificities were highly restricted. Therefore, we expected that the Japanese traditional fermentation agent, koji, could be used as an enzyme source for cheese production.
