Production of some bioactive materials by Pleurotus ostreatus from pineapple residues and rice straw via solid state fermentation

摘要

ABSTRACT The utilization of wastes by bioconversion into value added products may be an innovative solution to the environmental waste problem. The objectives of this work were to study the production of enzymes (amylase, invertase, filter paper cellulase, carboxy methyl cellulase, xylanase and chitosanase) and bioactive phenolic and antioxidant compounds by Pleurotus ostreatus NRRL-0366 in solid state fermentation (SSF) using different agricultural residues (rice straw and pineapple waste) at .
