AbstractThe phenomenon of the smoulder stream flowing through the cigarette during smouldering and during the puff intervals is demonstrated for the first time and its dependence upon physical conditions is examined. The volume of the smoulder stream can amount up to 180 ml per cigarette. Increasing draw resistance of the cigarette and augmenting moisture content of the tobacco as well as perforation of the cigarette paper have a decreasing effect on volume and velocity of the smoulder stream. The porosity of the cigarette paper has no perceptible influence. The spatial position of the cigarette affects volume and velocity of the smoulder stream. The influence exercised by the smoulder stream on the yields of total condensate, nicotine, phenols, aldehydes, and acroleine when the cigarette tip is open during the puff intervals is determined. When the moisture contents of the tobacco were extremely high, yield decreases reaching 50 % could be observed.

Background: Rhizopus arrhizus is a potential microorganism for lipase production. Solid-state fermentation is used for microbial biosynthesis of enzymes, due to advantages, such as high productivity, utilization of abundant and low-cost raw materials, and production of enzymes with different catalytic properties. Objective: The objective of the research is optimization of the conditions for lipase production in solid-state fermentation by Rhizopus arrhizus in a nutrient medium, containing agroindustrial wastes. Method: Biosynthesis of lipase in solid-state fermentation by Rhizopus arrhizus was investigated. The effect of different solid substrates, additional carbon and nitrogen source, particles size and moisture content of the medium on enzyme production was studied. Response surface methodology was applied for determination of the optimal values of moisture content and tryptone concentration. A procedure for efficient lipase extraction from the fermented solids was developed. Results: Highest lipase activity was achieved when wheat bran was used as a solid substrate. The addition of 1% (w/w) glucose and 5% (w/w) tryptone to the solid medium significantly increased lipase activity. The structure of the solid medium including particles size and moisture content significantly influenced lipase production. A mathematical model for the effect of moisture content and tryptone concentration on lipase activity was developed. Highest enzyme activity was achieved at 66% moisture and 5% (w/w) tryptone. The addition of the non-ionic surfactant Disponyl NP 3070 in the eluent for enzyme extraction from the fermented solids increased lipase activity about three folds. Conclusion: After optimization of the solid-state fermentation the achieved 1021.80 U/g lipase activity from Rhizopus arrhizus was higher and comparable with the activity of lipases, produced by other fungal strains. The optimization of the conditions and the use of low cost components in solid-state fermentation makes the process economicaly effective for production of lipase from the investigated strain Rhizopus arrhizus.

The production of laccase by solid-state fermentation (SSF) usingArmillariella tabescenswas studied. Wheat bran was selected to be the most suitable solid substrate. Several operational variables including nitrogen source, moisture content, copper and aromatic inducers were investigated. The results showed that the complex nitrogen sources, NH4NO3coupled with peptone was shown to be the best nitrogen source. 75% of initial moisture content was proved to be appropriate. Copper significantly influenced the laccase production and the yield of laccase was improved by addition of 1.5 mM copper sulphate in the medium. Guaiacol efficiently induced the laccase production and the enzyme yield (24500U/g) was enhanced by 32% compared with he control without any aromatic inducers. Efficient production of laccase fromA. tabescenscan be achieved by solid-state fermentation.

Malaysia is the largest country that has produced many types of waste. One of it is Meranti wood sawdust. These wastes result in a significant environmental problem if not dispose it in the proper manner. The main objective of this article is to produce the high yield of sorbitol by solid state fermentation (SSF) process from pretreated Meranti wood sawdust using bacterium Lactobacillus plantarum (BAA 793; NCIMB 8826). One factorat a time (OFAT) was studied for further process using solid state fermentation (SSF) process and investigated the effect of relevant parameters (fermentation time, range: 2 hours to 14 hours, moisture content, range: 40% to 90%, temperature, range: 25 oC to 45 oC) to the solid-state fermentation (SSF) process in producing high yield of sorbitol. The highest product yield was obtained at 50% moisture content, at 10 hours of fermentation time and 35 oC of incubation temperature where the concentration of sorbitol was 25.68 g/L respectively. This study also showed that the solid state fermentation (SSF) process will produce the high yield of sorbitol production compared to the submerged fermentation and could serve as a-low cost substrate for bioproducts production especially sorbitol

AbstractProduction of α-amylase from local isolate, Penicillium chrysogenum, under solid-state fermentation (SSF) was carried out in this study. Different agricultural by-products, such as wheat bran (WB), sunflower oil meal (SOM), and sugar beet oil cake (SBOC), were used as individual substrate for the enzyme production. WB showed the highest enzyme activity (750 U/gds). Combination of WB, SOM, and SBOC (1:3:1 w/w/w) resulted in a higher enzyme yield (845 U/gds) in comparison with the use of the individual substrate. This combination was used as mixed solid substrate for the production of α-amylase from P. chrysogenum by SSF. Fermentation conditions were optimized. Maximum enzyme yield (891 U/gds) was obtained when SSF was carried out using WB + SOM + SBOC (1:3:1 w/w/w), having initial moisture of 75%, inoculum level of 20%, incubation period of 7 days at 30°C. Galactose (1% w/w), urea and peptone (1% w/w), as additives, caused increase in the enzyme activity.

The amylase producing fungi were isolated from spoiled fruits, vegetables and soil, in and around Bangalore, Karnataka, India. The isolates were identified and five fungal species were screened. The best amylase producer among them, Aspergillus sp was selected for enzyme production by both sub merged fermentation using mineral salt medium (MSM) and solid state fermentations using wheat bran as a solid substrate. The various parameters influencing solid state fermentation were optimized. The most important factors are such as pH, incubation temperature, incubation period, carbon sources, nitrogen sources and moisture content. The maximum amount of enzyme production was obtained when solid state fermentation was carried out with soluble starch as carbon source and beef extract (1% each) as nitrogen source, optimum conditions of pH 7.0, an incubation temperature of 25 (±2) °C, incubation time 96 h and 62% moisture content.
