Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleFungal Culture Systems for Production of Antioxidant Phenolics Using Pecan Nut Shells as Sole Carbon SourceMiguel A. Medina, Ruth E. Belmares, Antonio Aguilera-Carbo et al.Problem statement: Many agro-industrial wastes have little or none utilization, when these materials could be a very rich source of several value-added compounds, such as: the pecan nut shells, which contain Antioxidant Phenolic (AP) molecules like tannins. Approach: In this study, a bioprocess for the liberation of AP from Pecan Nut Shells (PNS) was described. A chemical characterization of raw … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,042 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCellulolytic Enzymes Production by Solid State Culture Using Pecan Nut Shell as Substrate and SupportMiguel A. Medina-Morales, José L. Martínez-Hernández, Heliodoro de la Garza, Cristóbal Noé AguilarProblem Statement: Great interest in the use of lignocellulosic biomass is increasing in order to diminish the accumulation of residues, such as pecan nut shells. One of the alternatives is the fungal degradation of these residues. Approach: The capacity of Trichoderma (coded as T1, T2 and T3) strains to produce cellulase and xylonite was evaluated. Results: Pecan nut shell fibers … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 8,023 accessesView PDF Cite
