Factors affecting physiology of mycelial growth and mushrooms aroma production in solid state fermentation

Effets de la source d’azote sur la physiologie de croissance mycélienne et la production d’arôme de champignons cultivés sur support solide

  • Chapter
Book cover Advances in Solid State Fermentation

Summary

Effects of different nitrogen sources and C/N ratios on mycelial growth and intensity of volatile aroma production, by three species of Morchella and one Pleurotus species, were studied in agar and solid support media. The results formed a base for selection of sodium nitrate as a nitrogen source, C/N ratio of 10 and M.esculenta as potential fungi for production of morel mushroom aroma by mycelial cells in solid state fermentation. Gas chromatographic analysis revealed wide differences in aroma compounds, produced by M. esculenta and P. cornucopiae. As the aroma compounds produced by mycelial cells of M. esculenta are identical to those formed by the fruiting bodies, the present results open up a never, simpler and economic strategy for production of highly priced morel mushroom aroma.

Resume

L’effet de différentes sources d’azote et du rapport C/N sur la croissance mycélienne et sur l’intensité aromatique dégagée par trois espèces du genre Morchella et d’une espèce du genre Pleurotus a été étudié sur agar puis sur support solide. Les résultats ont été à la base du choix du nitrate de sodium comme source d’azote, du rapport C/N de 10 ainsi que du mycélium de M. esculenta comme source potentielle pour la production de l’arôme de morille. L’identification des molécules contribuant à l’arôme réalisée par CPG-SM a révélé de larges différences entre M. esculenta et P. cornucopiae. Dans la mesure où l’arôme produit par le mycélium rappelle celui du carpophore, ce résultat constitue une méthode simple, rapide et économique pour la production de l’arôme morille.
