Abstracts
In this study, 2 Trichoderma strains (T-I and T-II) were evaluated for the production, by submerged (SmF) and solid state fermentation (SSF) of an enzymatic complex with the capacity to degrade the cell components of mango peels, using these as support (in SSF) and source of nutrients. Highest enzymatic activity (7,552.5 units of endo-glucanase/L) was found in T-II by SSF. Efficiency of this crude enzymatic extract in the extraction of mango juice was evaluated, improving the yield up to 79%, representing an alternative to give an added value of mango peels improving the yields of production of mango juice.
