Agro-industrial wastes such as Meranti wood sawdust (MWS) have great potential as substrates for the production of sorbitol and other biochemical products. In this study, treated cellulose from MWS was used as a substrate to produce sorbitol via solid state fermentation (SSF) process using immobiliz...
