Are you asking about application of SSF for the production of food items? or your query is related to the production of single cell protein using SSF? In later case, it is certainly yes and one may find a number of papers. It is also used for the production of vinegar. If you are asking whether the resultant solid is directly applied as human food then I doubt it can be.
Thank you very much Mr. Muhammad Sohail, apparently we are actually working on SSF application for food items. Basically we would want to increase the protein content of our specimen then we are planning to induce them in mice to see if there will be fast occurring changes. Since many papers were able to say that many SSF byproducts from agro-wastes are viable as animal feeds, we are also interested in knowing of there is a a chance of applying SSF in producing food items (from agricultural crops) that may be viable for human consumption.
Yes, SSF product can be apply on human consumption as long U can eliminate the micro-organism ( using antifungal or antibacteria) from SSF product and blood toxicity test is very low.
yes, solid state fermentation (SSF) can be used for human consumption. production of edible mushroom through SSF on saw dust has been documented
SSF can be used in human; however care should be taken in the selection of candidate organism in order to avoid toxicosis
Please see the attached paper.

I see this question is quite old, but it may still be useful for someone else.
SsF has been used in the elaboration of food for millenia. Examples of this are the production of soy sauce or tempeh.
It has been shown that indeed the growth of filamentous fungi can enhance the protein content, this has been published since the 1970s. Furthermore, some microorganisms are considered as safe for consumption by different health departments. Going back to the example of tempeh, which is widely consumed in south-east asian countries. In this case the substrate for the growth are the soybean grains. The carbohydrates in the grains are used for the growth of filamentous fungi. While growing, the myceliy binds the grains together creating a compact block (in appeareance it looks a lot as the turrón from Spain).
This block is then used for human consumption.
