Title Valorization of Coffee Pulp in the Production of Pleurotus pulmonarius in Rural Communities of Colombia
Year 2023
Published Acs Food Science & Technology, 3, 8
Abstract Coffeeproduction generates large volumes of waste, which havethe potential to cause pollution problems to soil and water and lossof biodiversity. Coffee pulp was used as a substrate for the productionof the edible mushroom Pleurotus pulmonarius, a high protein content product (17.8% & PLUSMN; 0.84%). The spentmushroom substrate (SMS) resulting from fungus production showed adecrease in lignin (49.7% & PLUSMN; 12%), cellulose (33.7% & PLUSMN; 10.8%),and phenolic compound (87% & PLUSMN; 2%) content, which avoids contaminationof soil and water bodies by them. Since the SMS still contains N (2.45%),P (0.20%), K (0.112%), Ca (0.320%), and Mg (0.106%), it has the potentialto be used as a raw material in the production of a biofertilizer.This model reduces the environmental impact of the byproducts generatedby small coffee growers and constitutes an alternative to combat hungerin rural communities and to achieve the sustainable development goalof zero hunger proposed by the United Nations.
