Fungal Biopolymers and Biocomposites

  • 816 Accesses

Abstract

The production of fungal biopolymers has stood out in the scientific community due to its properties. Its applications can be made in different areas; however, its most prominent applications are found in the agricultural and food industries. Scientific studies have used different approaches to produce and apply fungal biopolymers. Therefore, this chapter brings together information about the production of fungal biopolymers, as well as their properties, applications and perspectives. In addition, this chapter covers information on the initial steps of the process, such as, selection of culture media, parameter definition, extraction, recovery and purification, to assess the ideal conditions for scaling up. Scaling up is still one of the biggest challenges of biotechnology, however, experiments and operational production could solve this challenge.
