Abstract
Lignocellulose biomass materials pose disposal problems. They are however not only renewable for energy purposes but may contain some valuable compounds if explored. In this study three new native fungal strains isolated from elephant dung namely Fusarium equiseti strain UPM-09 JN8110062 F. proliferatum strain UPM-09 JN811064 and Pichia anomala strain UPM 01-09 JN811060 were used for the bioconversion of rubber wood saw dust Hevea braziliensis and shredded oil palm empty fruit bunch Elaeis guiniensis in Erlenmeyer flasks. The flasks were then incubated in an incubator shaker at 30C and 150 rpm for 15 days. Sensory aroma was detected organoleptically at day 5 of incubation. Extracts of the samples from the flasks were then injected into GC-MS. Valuable hydrocarbons and other by-products were detected in the extracts. About fifty compounds were found in the two substrates; more than 25 of which are valuable hydrocarbons while others belong to other classes which can be used for other purposes.
