Value-added products from dairy waste using edible fungi

- Edible fungi-based biorefineries are a route to treat dairy waste.
- Dairy waste is converted into biomass for feed and ethanol using edible fungi.
- Protein-rich biomass (0.48 g/g waste) and ethanol (0.06 g/g waste) were produced.
- Integrating the conversion process at ethanol plants is probably the most suitable route.
