This paper has demonstrated the feasibility of utilising waste
bread as a genetic feedstock for the production of SA as a valueadded
product. The results showed that solid-state fermentation of
waste bread pieces can be successfully used to process waste bread
for the production of nutrient rich hydrolysates. Experimental studies
showed that the empirical first-order kinetic model could be
used to predict the amount of glucose and FAN liberated during the
simultaneous hydrolysis and fungal autolysis reactions.
