Abstract
The fruit of Astrocaryum aculeatum G. Mey. are consumed by population in the Brazil Northern resulting fruit peels. These peels are rich in lignocellulose and fat. The present study investigated peels from the Astrocaryum aculeatum G. Mey. as a substrate for lipases production by solid state bioprocess. To reach this objective: 1) we isolated fungi from peels from the fruit of Astrocaryum aculeatum G. Mey; 2) we screened the isolates for lipase production (screening in petri dish and screening in submerged bioprocess), 3) we investigated the production of lipases by using peels from Astrocaryum aculeatum G. Mey as substrate. The isolates belonged to the genera Aspergillus (16), Penicillium (3) and Fusarium (1). These strains were submitted to petri dishes and submerged fermentation for lipases production, these experiments resulted in the selection of five strains belonging to the Aspergillus genera. The lipases produced by these five strains performed enzymatic transesterification; however, the lipases from the strain Aspergillus niger A2B1 produced the highest ester content. The utilisation of fruit peel from Astrocaryum aculeatum G. Mey. as the main substrate, fruit peel from Astrocaryum aculeatum G. Mey. oil (13%), moisture (70%) and 75 h of incubation were the optimal conditions identified for the production of lipases by Aspergillus niger A2B1(17.42 U/g) in solid state bioprocess (SSB).
