Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Microbial Protein Production
  • Agricultural Waste Valorization

Background:

  • Beet pulp is an abundant agricultural byproduct with potential for bioconversion.
  • Microbial fermentation offers a sustainable route for producing valuable compounds from agro-industrial waste.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the protein production capabilities of different fungal strains using beet pulp as a substrate.
  • To optimize fermentation conditions for maximizing protein yield and quality from beet pulp.

Main Methods:

  • Cultivation of five fungal strains on beet pulp medium.
  • Optimization of parameters including pre-treatment, solid/liquid ratios, incubation time, nitrogen levels, trace elements, and inoculum size.
  • Analysis of protein content, amino acid profile, and conversion efficiency.

Main Results:

  • Trichoderma reesei demonstrated superior performance, achieving 34% protein content and 18% (w/w) conversion efficiency.
  • Protein yields were enhanced by up to 49% through optimized pre-treatment and fermentation parameters.
  • The resulting protein contained all essential amino acids, comparable to FAO guidelines and soybean oil meal.

Conclusions:

  • Trichoderma reesei is a highly effective microorganism for producing protein-rich biomass from beet pulp.
  • Optimized fermentation strategies significantly improve the efficiency and yield of microbial protein production.
  • This bioconversion process offers a sustainable method for valorizing beet pulp into a valuable protein source.
