Recovery of Filter Paperase from Mouldy Rice Husk in Solid State Fermentation by Aspergillus protuberus

This research focused on optimizing the extraction of an important industrial enzyme called filter paperase from rice husk using a fungal fermentation process. The findings are significant for making enzyme production more sustainable and cost-effective. Impacts on everyday life: • Enables more efficient use of agricultural waste like rice husk • Helps reduce production costs of industrial enzymes used in paper, textile and biofuel industries • Contributes to more sustainable and environmentally-friendly manufacturing processes • Could lead to cheaper consumer products that rely on these enzymes • Demonstrates ways to add value to agricultural waste materials
