Abstract

In this study we evaluated the potential of the seed meal mangaba to obtain lipase from Aspergillus nigerby solid state fermentation, checking the influence of initial residual moisture and temperature on thekinetics of enzyme production. The mangaba seed meal has potential for the production of microbiallipase production and the maximum (402 U/g) was obtained in 216 h of fermentation when using thesubstrate containing 30% of water content and temperature of 40°C. However it was found theimportance of the parameters of solid-state fermentation to determine the best conditions for obtaining theproduct of interest.
