| Description |
Aspergillus niger CFTRI 30 produced 1.3 g citric acid/10 g dry coffee husk in 72 h solid-state fermentation when the substrate was moistened with 0.075M NaOH solution. Production was increased by 17% by adding a mixture of iron, copper and zinc to the medium but enrichment of the moist solid medium with (NH4)2SO4, sucrose or any of 4 enzymes [2 cellulases, pectinase, amylase] did not improve production. Production of approx. 1.5 g citric acid/10 g dry coffee husk at a conversion of 82% (based on sugar consumed) under standardized conditions is concluded to demonstrate the commercial potential of using the husk in this way.
