Overview

Randomized trial develops mycelium-based biocomposites, showing improved properties of walnut versus pistachio composites, suggesting better material applications.

Key Points

  • This research aims to develop and characterize mycelium-based biocomposites reinforced with nutshell particles using a bioprocess engineering approach.
  • Combined liquid- and solid-state fermentation process using Ganoderma sessile.
  • Analysis of composite properties including mechanical strength and moisture uptake.
  • Characterization through DVS, SEM, FTIR, and STA techniques.
  • Glycerol-treated walnut MBB achieved Shore A hardness of 71.4, outperforming untreated pistachio MBB at 63.8.
  • Glycerol treatment resulted in reduced equilibrium moisture content and hysteresis.
  • FTIR analysis indicated higher lignin content in walnut composites, correlating with superior mechanical properties.
