Kojic acid
APPLICATIONS
- Cosmetics, pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries.
- Agriculture.
PANORAMA
Kojic acid production using selected filamentous fungus isolated from the Brazilian biodiversity. The production is carried out in a submerged fermentation with crude glycerol (glycerin), a biodiesel co-product, or a commercial standard glycerol as the sole source of carbon.
ADVANTAGES
- Product with several commercial applications.
- Adding value to the biodiesel production chain, with improved commercial and environmental sustainability.
- Fungus from the Brazilian biodiversity preserved under quality standards at Embrapa Agroenergy’s collection.
- The filamentous fungus is able to produce kojic acid using glycerin (crude glycerol) from different biomasses.
