Abstract:
The production of lypolitic moulds in solid state fermentation was studied.
Aspergillus oryzae and Rhizopus oryzae were grown on rice hulls using different
media. Tween 80 and olive oil were employed as main carbon sources; the whole
solid cultures were lyophilised and employed in heptane for catalysing the
formation of various geranyl esters with molar conversions ranging from 40 to
95%, under optimised conditions, starting from 50 mM geraniol and equimolar
amount of the acid.
