Abstract

When Rhizopus oryzae was grown on medium containing cassava bagasse plus soybean meal (5:5 w/w), CO2 production was at its highest (200 ml.l–1) while highest volatile metabolite production was with amaranth grain as substrate (282.8 ml.l–1). In the headspace, ethanol was the most abundant compound (more than 80%). Acetaldehyde, 1-propanol, ethyl acetate, ethyl propionate and 3-methyl butanol were also present. CO2 and volatile metabolite productions reached their maxima around 20 h and 36 h, respectively. © Rapid Science Ltd. 1998
