Abstrakt
Single cell oil (SCO) is an attractive alternative source of oils, since it can be used as
feedstock in biofuel production and also have been recognized as viable option in production of
essential fatty acids suitable for either human nutrition or as supplementary in animal feeds.
However, the usability of SCO is limited due to the high price of raw materials used in the
fermentation process. This problem can be tackled by using low-cost agro-industrial residues
which are applicable for SCO production. Use of these by-products as the main carbon source in
fermentations not only significantly reduces the overall production costs of SCO, but also enables
treatment of generated waste streams, thus reducing the negative impact on environment. Since
various biodegradable agro-industrial by-products can be used in microbial fermentations, this
review aims to categorize and compare applicable agricultural residues by their availability,
necessary pre-fermentation treatments, SCO yields and current usability in other competing
sectors.
