  • Title: Exploitation of biological wastes for the production of value-added products under solid-state fermentation conditions.
    Author: Rodríguez Couto S.
    Journal: Biotechnol J; 2008 Jul; 3(7):859-70. PubMed ID: 18543242.
    Abstract:
    Biological wastes contain several reusable substances of high value such as soluble sugars and fibre. Direct disposal of such wastes to soil or landfill causes serious environmental problems. Thus, the development of potential value-added processes for these wastes is highly attractive. These biological wastes can be used as support-substrates in solid-state fermentation (SSF) to produce industrially relevant metabolites with great economical advantage. In addition, it is an environmentally friendly method of waste management. This paper reviews the reutilization of biological wastes for the production of value-added products using the SSF technique.
