Abstract:
The use of solid lipid sidestreams have been overlooked as a feedstock for the production of microbial biomass for food and feed applications. Oleaginous yeasts can convert waste lipids to microbial oils, yet little to no recent work has examined the utilization of solid fatty acid distillates (FADs), which are a significant residue from vegetable oil processing. Yarrowia lipolytica and Rhodosporidium toruloides cultivated on cocoa fatty acid distillates (CFAD) generated final cell dry weight values >40 g/L, strong productivity (3.3 g/Lh) and showed rich protein (>45%) and lipid content (>25%). Interestingly, microbial oils were >65% unsaturated fatty acids, compared <20% unsaturated content in FAD. Importantly, to overcome mass-transfer limitations associated with bioconversion of this solid residue, for the first time ethanol was applied as a co-substrate to solubilize FAD residues while acting as a co-substrate. Here, FAD residues from cocoa deodorization have been demonstrated to be high energy feedstocks that represent an attractive substrate for the production of both single cell protein and oil (SCPO).
