Conversion of Poultry Mortality Hydrolysate to Lactic Acid, A Building Block for Renewable Bioproducts
Short Introductive summary
Lactic acid is a promising bio-based platform chemical that can reduce reliance on fossil hydrocarbons. Lactic acid is created through fermentation using a wide range of microbial species. One of the largest expenses during fermentation is growth media components, particularly nitrogen sources such as peptone. Poultry mortalities result from the production of poultry and eggs for food production. Valorization of poultry mortality biomass through alkaline hydrolysis generates a nutrient rich hydrolysate that may be a suitable nutrient source during fermentation. In this study, lactic acid production using poultry hydrolysate was investigated using two lactic acid bacteria and one fungal species in order to assess the technical feasibility of this approach.
