About this ebook

Increasing concern about pollution that occur from agriculture wastes has stimulated the interest in converting waste material into commercially valuable products. The vegetables wastes can be used as substrate for the production of high nutritious products like single cell protein. Vegetable extract was prepared by using beetroot peels as substrate. The carbohydrate and protein content of the extract was estimated. Three different media was prepared by using vegetable extract (media 1- supplemented vegetable hydrolysate, media 2- glucose supplemented vegetable hydrolysate , media 3- vegetable hydrolysate). Submerged fermentation was carried out at three days intervals, for all the three media Aspergillus niger for the production of single cell protein. In all the three intervals, media 2 (glucose supplemented vegetable hydrolysate) contained highest protein content and among the intervals carbohydrate content of the three media was also determined.
