Cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus var. Florida on two agroindustrial residuals
Main Article Content
Abstract
With the purpose of taking advantage of the coffee pulp as substratum in the edible mushrooms production from Pleurotus ostreatus F. gender under rural conditions to diminish the contamination that this takes place to the environment, the work was carried out in the laboratories and the investigation plant-production of edible mushrooms of the Estación Central de Investigaciones de Café y Cacao,Tercer Frente, Santiago de Cuba province, between December of 2008 and February of 2009. Coffee pulp (Coffea arabica L. and Coffea canephora Pierre ex Froehner was used to value the cultivation of the mushroom conditions: relative humidity and temperature, to determine the biological efficiency, the yield and the production precocity of the mushrooms in both substrata. Substratum, Pleurotus ostreatus F. , remainder substratum and the bioconversion that it is reached in the process of the cultivation were characterized. Was proven that it is possible to cultivate the mushroom it has more than enough pulp of coffee as substratum; it is reached the biggest biological efficiency and yield on the C. arabica pulp. The mushrooms obtained in both substrata present characteristic similar and appropriate levels of proteins, fats and minerals. The substratum used becomes to fruitful bodies an acceptable percentage when reaching 34.7 % it has more than enough pulp of C. arabica and 20.15 % it has more than enough C. Canephora pulp. The remainder substrata used showed good proteic content and low content of tannins, what allows their employment as animal food.
