  In this research, the effect of process variable on yield (%w/w protein per biomass) of mycoprotein production by Fusarium venenatum ATCC 20334 in surface culture evaluated. A face centered central composite design (FCCD) was employed to determine maximum protein production at suitable initial concentration of date juice (as a carbon and energy source), nitrogen concentration and seed size. Analysis of variance showed that the contribution of a quadratic model was significant for the response. The optimal condition for mycoprotein production contains 20 g/l of date juice, 4.48 g/l of nitrogen source and 12.97% (v/v) of seed size. In these conditions, 46.48 ± 0.2% (w/w) protein was obtained in the dried cell weight. Heat treatment of fungal biomass at 64 -65˚C for 20-30 min reduced the RNA content to an acceptable level for h.. Read More»
