Effect of the initial pH on the performance characteristics of the deproteinization process of galactose supplemented shrimp shells by Aspergillus niger in a solid state drum bioreactor

The aim of the research was to study the effect of adjusting the initial pH of shrimp shell (8.64 vs. 7.00) on the ability of the fungus Aspergillus niger to carry out deproteinization process of galactose supplemented shrimp shells and to investigate the performance characteristics of the deproteinization process. The results showed that the initial pH of the shells has a significant effect on the temperature, carbon...
