BIOCONVERSION OF AGRO - LIGNOCELLULOSIC WASTE INTO PROTEINACEOUS MASS – A POSITIVE APPROACH (REVIEW)
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
India is mainly an agricultural country. This fact has been corroborated by the World Bank data, which reveals that India uses 60.3% of its land for agricultural purposes. In addition, the occupation of more than 50% of the citizens depends directly on the various aspects of farming. The agricultural sector generates a major portion of the waste, which is by and large biodegradable. The agro-industries, such as the food processing units, cotton mills, sugar mills, paper mills, textile factories and slaughterhouses (the sewage waste from such units), are the main contributors to the waste production. The biodegradable waste generated is basically lignocellulosic in nature. Generally, these wastes are disposed in the land or are burned. In either manner, it causes pollution (land or air). However, because agricultural waste is natural organic compounds, steps may be undertaken to degrade these products before their release into the environment. Biological degradation, with the help of microbes, is the method of choice. This review deliberates on the breakdown of the lignocellulosic waste with the help of edible mushrooms. This bioremediation method not only produces a proteinaceous food for the masses, but also is responsible for generating employment to many. Furthermore, this technique boosts the usage of mycoremediation technology for pollution control.
