Secretion of α-L-rhamnosidases by Few Aspergillus Fungal Strains Using Solid State Fermentation and Their Application in Debittering of Orange Fruit Juice | Chapter 8 | Recent Progress in Microbiology and Biotechnology Vol. 4

Alpha-L-rhamnosidase development from Aspergillus ochraceous MTCC -1810, A. MTCC Wentii-1901, A. MTCC Sydowii- 635, A. Using readily available agro-industrial residues such as corn cob, rice bran, sugarcane bagasse, wheat bran and citrus peel as substrate, foetidus MTCC-508 under solid-state fermentation. Among these, the best substrate was found to be sugarcane bagasse in combination with naringin and sucrose. The development of alpha-L-rhamnosidase was highest at 30 °C after the 4th day of incubation and the substrate to moisture ratio was 1:1 w/v. The maximal development of the enzyme was caused by supplementation of the medium with 10 percent naringin. The alpha-L-rhamnosidases temperature optima and pH optima were calculated in the range of 50-60 °C and 4.0-5.0 respectively. For the debittering of orange fruit juice, the alpha-L-rhamnosidases secreted from the above fungal strains are appropriate. In the achievement of the above goal, the studies mentioned in this communication will be helpful.
