Biodiesel produced from waste cooking oil (WCO) is on the rise and inevitably leads to issues in managing glycerol waste. Due to the presence of colour, odour and other minor compounds, the refining costs for this type of glycerol are higher and uneconomical. The potential of biodiesel-derived glycerol waste (BDGW) obtained from WCO to produce the highly added product of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), also known as omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, via the marine microalga of Schizochytrium limacinum ATCC MYA-1381 under aerobic batch fermentation was investigated. Cell growth, as well as DHA production, were performed under various operating conditions, including aeration rates and BDGW concentrations. The effect of the substrate type on cell growth and DHA yield was evaluated. The optimum operating condition was obtained when the air flow of a 0.25 vvm and 50 g/L of the glycerol concentration was fed into the fermenter and maximum cell dry weight (11.40 g/L) and DHA yield (665.52 mg/g) were achieved. However, cell growth and DHA yield were not significantly different when S. limacinum was grown using various carbon sources. Successfully, it clearly demonstrates that the BDGW can be used as a cheap carbon source for DHA production via marine microalgae using aerobic batch fermentation. |
