    Stepwise Pretreatment of Pulsed Electric Fields and Solid Substrate Fermentation Using Pleurotus ostreatus on Coconut Dregs

    Wenny Surya Murtius1,2,*, Bambang Dwi Argo3,*, Irnia Nurika1, Sukardi1

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.13, No.5, pp. 997-1020, 2025, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2025.02024-0004 - 20 May 2025

    Abstract A stepwise pretreatment process for coconut dregs (CD) has been investigated to enhance availability of hemicellulose. Recently, lignocellulose-rich agricultural waste such as CD has garnered substantial attention as a sustainable raw material for producing value-added bio-products. To optimize the process variables within the stepwise pretreatment using Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) and Solid-State Fermentation (SSF), Response Surface Methodology (RSM) based on Central Composite Design (CCD) was employed. PEF, a non-thermal physical treatment, offers advantages such as low energy consumption and reduced processing times, while SSF utilizes Pleurotus ostreatus to promote biodegradation. A statistical model was constructed using… More > Graphic Abstract

    Characterization and Performance Evaluation of Mycelium-Based Biofoams for Cushioning Materials Using Edible Mushrooms

    Tanyawan Suwandecha1, Supachai Pisuchpen2,*

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.12, No.11, pp. 1811-1836, 2024, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2024.056334 - 22 November 2024

    Abstract This study investigated the development of mycelium-based biofoams as sustainable cushioning materials using Pleurotus ostreatus and Lentinus squarrosulus, combined with different sawdust substrates, and subjected to various pressing methods. The results indicated significant effects of mushroom species, sawdust type, and pressing method on the properties of biofoams. Growth rate, morphology, chemical composition, physical and mechanical properties, water resistance, and cushioning factor were evaluated. The results indicated that Lentinus squarrosulus (LS) exhibited faster growth rates (up to 14.37 mm/day) and produced biofoams with superior properties compared to Pleurotus ostreatus (PO). Core wood (CW) sawdust generally resulted in biofoams with lower… More > Graphic Abstract
