Abstract

Bioproduction of generally recognized as safe (GRAS) products starting with low-cost raw materials has become significant in the biorefinery concept. Thus, the solid-state fermentation (SSF) of agro-industrial residues using GRAS strains appears as alternative to obtain aroma compounds. Here, the SSF of the mixture sugarcane bagasse/sugar beet molasses was used for producing a mixture of value-added fruit-like compounds. The study aimed to enhance the production and ester selectivity evaluating three operational strategies at three scales (0.5, 4.5 and 22 L) using non-sterilized residues. While the average total volatile production was 120 mg Vol per gram of dry substrate (g −1 ITS ), fed-batch operation promoted the highest increases in the ester content up to 57 mg Est g −1 ITS , an 88 and 59% more than in the static-batch and intermittent mixing modes respectively. Alternative operational strategies have compensated the scale-up adverse effects in the bioproduction, moving towards a sustainable large-scale application in a circular economy scheme.

  • Low-cost by-products and residues of agri-food industry origin have proved their potential in production of different pigments and aroma compounds by fermentation with diverse group microorganisms.

    “Low-cost by-products and residues of agri-food industry origin have also proved their potential in production of different pigments and aroma compounds by the fermentation process with diverse group microorganisms.”

    From Use of Waste from the Food Industry and Applications of the Fermentation Process to Create Sustainable Cosmetic Products: A Review (2024) · cites this paper as [105]

    The Introduction says low-cost agro-industrial residues can be fermented into several aroma compounds and lists different microorganisms used for that purpose. It does not make the corresponding claim about pigment production; pigments appear only in the title of another work in the References (page not provided). (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
