Production of Kojic acid from sago hampas using combination of different aspergillus strains via solid state fermentation

Kojic acid (5-hydroxy-2-hydroxymethyl-4-pyrone) is a depigmenting agent produced by several species of fungi, particularly Aspergillus flavus. In this work, the production of kojic acid using combination of different Aspergillus strains was investigated. Three sets of fermentation were carried ou...
