10.18331/BRJ2016.3.3.7 Abstract Ethanol production from rice husk by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation using Mucor hiemalis was investigated. To reach the maximum ethanol production yield, the most important influencing factors in the pretreatment process, including temperature (0-100°C), NaOH concentration (1-3 M), and the pretreatment time (30-180 min), were optimized using an experimental design by a response surface methodology (RSM). The maximum ethanol production yield of 86.7 % was obtained after fungal cultivation on the husk pretreated with 2.6 M NaOH at 67°C for 150 min. This was higher than the yield of 57.7% obtained using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as control. Furthermore, fermentation using M. hiemalis under the optimum conditions led to the production of a highly valuable fungal biomass, containing 60 g glucosamine (GlcN), 410 g protein, and 160 g fungal oil per each kg of the fungal biomass.
