Abstract
Possible use of carrot processing solid waste, as a carbohydrate sourc e, for production of citric and lactic acids in solid state fermentati on was explored. On the basis of fermentable sugar consumed, the yield s of citric acid and L (+) - lactic acid from carrot processing waste by fermentation with Aspergillus niger and Rhizopus oryzae were 36 and 55%, respectively.
