Orange and pineapple wastes as potential substrates for citric acid production

Orange and pineapple wastes as potential substrates for citric acid production

Orange (pulp) and pineapple wastes were used as substrates for citric acid production by two strains of Aspergillus niger. A. niger strains NRRL 567 and 328 produced the maximum amount of citric acid (57.6% and 55.4%, respectively) at a moisture content of 38.9% in orange waste and the highest yield...
