Catalytic depolymerization of mannan composition of palm kernel cake (PKC) by mannanase was optimized to enhance the release of mannan-derived monomeric sugars for further application in acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation. Efficiency of enzymatic hydrolysis of PKC was studied by evaluating effects of PKC concentration, mannanase loading, hydrolysis pH value, reaction temperature and hydrolysis time on production of fermentable sugars using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The ANOVA results revealed that all factors studied had highly significant effects on total sugar liberated (P<0.01). The optimum conditions for PKC hydrolysis were 20% (w/v) PKC concentration, 5% (w/w) mannanase loading, hydrolysis pH 4.5, 45°C temperature and 72h hydrolysis time. Enzymatic experiments in optimum conditions revealed total fermentable sugars of 71.54±2.54g/L were produced including 67.47±2.51g/L mannose and 2.94±0.03g/L glucose. ABE fermentation of sugar hydrolysate by Clostridium saccharoperbutylacetonicum N1-4 resulted in 3.27±1.003g/L biobutanol.

The metabolites gluconic acid, 5-ketogluconic acid, proline, and glutamic acid, produced by Pseudomonas reptilivora B-6bs, are industrially important, particularly in food and pharmaceutical sectors. However, producing these metabolites involves biotin supplementation to enhance yields, which is an expensive additive, and reducing its use can significantly lower production costs. Thus, This study aimed to enhance the production of gluconic acid, 5-ketogluconic acid, proline, and glutamic acid without biotin supplementation.

Thirteen new cyathane diterpene glycosides, hericinosides A-M (-), and six known analogs, were isolated from the rice media fermentation of the medicinal fungus . The sugar parts of and were highly modified, forming a unique 5/6/7/5/5/5 ring new skeleton system. All structures were elucidated based on spectroscopic data, and their relative configurations were determined according to the ROESY analysis.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermentation enhances the flavour and functionality of juice substrates; however, research on hawthorn juice is limited. We hypothesize that due to strain specificity, the changes in hawthorn juice after fermentation with different LAB may vary. After selecting LAB strains based on pH and sensory evaluation, the physicochemical properties and anti-inflammatory potential in a lipopolysaccharide-induced RAW 264.

A rise in population and societal changes have increased pressure on resources required to meet the growing demand for food and changing dietary preferences. The increasing demand for animal protein is concerning and raises questions regarding sustainability due to its environmental impact. Subsequently, scientists seek alternative proteins, such as microbial proteins (MPs), as an environmentally friendly choice.
