Xylanase production from Aspergillus niger by Solid State Fermentation using Agricultural waste as substrate

Agro industrial and food-processing wastes are available in staggering quantities all over the world, which largely become a source of health hazard. The majority of these wastes contain cellulose (30-40%), hemicelluloses (xylan 20-40%), and lignin (20-30%).The utilization of these wastes for the production of strategic chemicals and fuel requires hydrolysis of all the components. Because xylan is the second most abundant polysaccharide, xylanases and the microorganisms that elaborate them could be used in food processing and paper and the pulp, sugar, ethanol, feed, and agro fiber industries (Gomes et al., 1993). For most bioconversion process, xylan must first be converted to xylose or xylooligosaccharides.
