Implication

Randomized trial develops mycelium-based biocomposites, showing improved properties of walnut versus pistachio composites, suggesting better material applications.

Key Points

This research aims to develop and characterize mycelium-based biocomposites reinforced with nutshell particles using a bioprocess engineering approach.
Combined liquid- and solid-state fermentation process using Ganoderma sessile.
Analysis of composite properties including mechanical strength and moisture uptake.
Characterization through DVS, SEM, FTIR, and STA techniques.
Glycerol-treated walnut MBB achieved Shore A hardness of 71.4, outperforming untreated pistachio MBB at 63.8.
Glycerol treatment resulted in reduced equilibrium moisture content and hysteresis.
FTIR analysis indicated higher lignin content in walnut composites, correlating with superior mechanical properties.
