Reduction of chemical and biological oxygen demands from oil wastes via oleaginous fungi: an attempt to convert food by products to essential fatty acids

ABSTRACT

Background: the production of waste pollutants has become a major problem for many food and oil industries. However, oil wastes can provide alternative substrates for industry, which could help to solve environmental pollution problems. Furthermore, oil wastes can be used as substrates to produce unsaturated fatty acids, which are important for health
