Beans, Trichoderma

Other mold-based SCP processes that have been iavestigated iaclude utilization of sulfite waste Hquor by I aecilomyces varioti conversion of carob bean waste yg Jispergillus niger com- and pea-processiag wastes by Giotrichium sp. and coffee-processiag wastes by Trichoderma har anum (62). However, none of these processes is practiced commercially. 

There have been a number of reports of the use of enzymes in the extraction of oils from sources such as fish, rape seed, yeast, palms, and soya beans. Celluloses and pectinases are used in pdm oil extraction. In soya bean and fish, much oil has been found to be associated with protein, so that addition of proteases increases the yield of oil and protein. Use of thermostable proteases is preferred, but m general the use of enzymes is limited by the minimal water contents of the various process streams. Trichoderma uride and A niger celluloses, hemicellulases and proteases have been used to extract hydrocarbons from Euphorbia plants 39 40) and similar enzymes used to extract sapogenins from Helleborus 41).
