Fungal Species: Monascus kaoliang B6

Efficient conversion of tea residue nutrients: Screening and proliferation of edible fungi

Researchers developed an environmentally friendly method to convert tea waste into nutritious fungal protein using edible mushrooms. By testing six different fungal species, they found that Monascus kaoliang B6 was most efficient at breaking down the complex fiber structures in tea residue and converting them into fungal biomass. This sustainable process eliminates the need for chemical treatments and harsh conditions, turning agricultural waste into valuable food ingredients.

Efficient conversion of tea residue nutrients: Screening and proliferation of edible fungi

This research demonstrates how edible mushrooms can be used to convert tea waste into nutritious fungal protein. By culturing six different mushroom species on tea residue, scientists found that Monascus kaoliang B6 was most effective at breaking down the tough plant fibers and converting them into edible mushroom biomass. This sustainable process eliminates the need for harsh chemicals while producing a protein-rich ingredient that could be used to make plant-based meat alternatives, turning an agricultural waste product into a valuable food ingredient.

Efficient conversion of tea residue nutrients: Screening and proliferation of edible fungi

Tea leaves left over from making instant tea are usually thrown away, but researchers found that special edible mushrooms can break down these tea residues and convert them into nutritious mushroom protein. Monascus kaoliang B6 was the most effective, using powerful enzymes to decompose the tough plant fibers in tea residue and transform the nutrients into edible mushroom biomass. This discovery offers an environmentally friendly way to recycle tea industry waste into a useful food product without using harsh chemicals.
