Fermentation was conducted in this bioreactor in order to produce lipase from agricultural products/residues by Aspergillus niger. Regarding this issue, several agricultural products and residues including rice bran, sugarcane baggase, wheat bran, barley bran and corn meal were employed. Among them rice bran led to maximum lipase production under similar condition. Furthermore the influence of process parameters including fermentation duration for lipase production, temperature and humidity of the cabinet were investigated. Analysis showed that, the best result for enzyme production was obtained after 96 hours of incubation, at cabin temperature of 35°C and cabin humidity of 90%. The maximum produced enzyme activity under desired conditions was142.732 U/gds.Read More
