Abstract The use of waste stream residues as feedstock for material production simultaneously helps reduce dependence on fossil-based resources and to shift toward a circular economy. This study explores the conversion of food waste into valuable chemicals, namely, bio-pigments. Here, a simulated food waste feedstock was converted into pigments via solid-state fermentation with the filamentous fungus Talaromyces albobiverticillius (NRRL 2120). Pigments including monascorubrin, rubropunctatin, and 7-(2-hydroxyethyl)-monascorubramine were identified as products of the fermentation via ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole-time-of-flight electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Pigments were obtained at concentrations of 32.5, 20.9, and 22.4 AU/gram dry substrate for pigments absorbing at 400, 475, and 500 nm, respectively. Pigment production was further enhanced by co-culturing T albobiverticillius with Trichoderma reesei (NRRL 3652), and ultimately yielded 63.8, 35.6, and 43.6 AU/gds at the same respective wavelengths. This represents the highest reported production of pigments via solid-state fermentation of a non-supplemented waste stream feedstock.
