Notes:
Solid state fermentation of canola meal has been carried out for the reduction of its phytic acid content using the following microorganisms: Rhizopus oligosporus NRRL 2990, Aspergillus niger NRC 5765 and NRC 401 121, Aspergillus ficuum NRRL 3135 and a wild Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain.The results showed that all these microorganisms can be used for the reduction of the phytic acid content in the tested material. A. ficuum which completely hydrolyzed the phytic acid in 48 hours was the most efficient.Buffered systems, aeration and an increase in inoculum concentration caused faster and higher reduction of phytic acid content in canola meal.
