Abstract
A process is described for obtaining a soil-improving composition from the fermentation of crustacean exoskeletons for its use as a biostimulant, as well as the resulting composition of said process.
Claims10
A method for obtaining a soil-enhancing composition, the method characterized in that it comprises:
- mixing crustacean by-products with water;
- adding an anti-foaming agent;
- adding a carbon source;
- mixing the ingredients for a time sufficient to obtain a homogeneous mixture;
- sterilizing the homogeneous mixture to obtain a sterile mixture;
- allowing the sterile mixture to cool and adding an inoculum of Bacillus genus bacteria;
- incubating the mixture with continuous stirring and aeration for a determined time;
- sterilizing the incubated mixture a second time to inactivate the bacteria used in the process;
- separating the resulting liquid and solid phases, collecting the solids and discarding the rest;
- drying the obtained solids.
