Abstract
Corn fiber is the fibrous by-product of wet-mill corn processing. It typically consists of about 20% starch, 14% cellulose, and 30% hemicellulose in the form of arabinoxylan. Crude corn fiber (CCF) was fractionated into de-starched corn fiber (DSCF), corn fiber with cellulose (CFC) enriched, and corn fiber arabinoxylan (CFAX), and these fractions were evaluated as substrates for enzyme production by Trichoderma reesei. T. reesei QM9414 and Rut C-30 grew on CCF, DSCF, CFC, or CFAX and secreted a number of hydrolytic enzymes. The enzymes displayed synergism with commercial cellulases for corn fiber hydrolysis.Entities:
