Abstract
Decolorization of crude molasses by a newly isolated dye-decolorizing fungus, Geotrichum candidum Dec 1, was conducted in a jar fermenter sy stem having fan-type propellers and a pressure swing adsorption oxygen generator. The oxygen-fortified air supply was effective not only to obtain a highest decolorization degree of 80% molasses but also the hi ghest peroxidase activity which is responsible for the decolorization of the dyes.
