SINGLE CELL PROTEIN FROM THERMOPHILIC FUNGI

The present invention relates to a process for producing single cell protein, wherein a thermophilic fungus is grown a fermentable carbon-rich feedstock at a high temperature and at an acidic pH. This allows for a cost effective fermentation process that can to be run under non-sterile conditions an...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to a process for producing single cell protein, wherein a thermophilic fungus is grown a fermentable carbon-rich feedstock at a high temperature and at an acidic pH. This allows for a cost effective fermentation process that can to be run under non-sterile conditions and without additional cooling requirements. The process can be used to convert by- products or waste from agriculture or food production, or organic fractions of municipal solid waste into valuable single cell protein that can be applied as dietary source of protein or protein supplement in human food or animal feed. La presente invención se relaciona a un proceso para producir proteína unicelular, en donde se cultiva un hongo termofílico una materia prima rica en carbono fermentable a alta temperatura y en un pH ácido. Esto permite un proceso de fermentación rentable que se puede ejecutar en condiciones no estériles y sin requisitos de enfriamiento adicionales. El proceso se puede utilizar para convertir subproductos o desechos de la agricultura o la producción de alimentos, o fracciones orgánicas de desechos sólidos municipales en una valiosa proteína unicelular que se puede aplicar como fuente dietética de proteína o suplemento de proteína en alimentos para humanos o animales.
