Resumen

The rachis of the African palm (Elaeis guineensis) is considered one of the by-products obtained in oil extraction plants; it causes environmental pollution; however, with biotechnological advances, this residue can be used by using it as a substrate for the growth of microorganisms and in turn increase the concentration of proteins in it. Four media were formulated from the rachis previously dried and crushed and inoculated Aspergillus niger at a concentration of 5000 and 50000 conidia/g medium for a time of 8 and 12 days. Through a factorial design 22, it was determined that the concentration of inoculum and fermentation time significantly influenced the protein enrichment of the rachis, resulting in the culture where a concentration of 50000 conidia /g was inoculated with a duration of 8 days values of 15.5 mg/ml of proteins were reached.
