Incineration of mycelium and excess biological sludge. Incineration system may also receive pathogenic wastes, unrecoverable solvents, fermentation broths or syrups, semi-solid and solid wastes, and so on. The system can be further integrated with the burning of odorous air streams. 

A range of fermented soya food products is known (Chen et al., 2012), and Table 18.1 illustrates some important representatives that will be discussed in this chapter. There are several ways to distinguish fermented soya products, for example, by their consistency, their salt content or the type of microorganisms used for their fermentation. In Table 18.1, the products are listed according to consistency sauces are liquid, pastes are semi-solid and another group comprises solid or firm food products. The salt content depends very much on the manufacturing process. Salt has been used traditionally...

A 1000-litre fermenter has been used to produce a continuous feed of Escherichia coli containing a high level of j3-D alactosidase. Investigation of the individual unit operations for the isolation of the enzyme, cell disruption, nucleic acid removal, protein precipitation and solid-liquid separation after each stage, permitted operation of a semi-continuous process which would yield 130 g protein hr comprising 23% j3-D-galactosidase.
