Abstract

The economic expansion in developing countries can be achieved by converting their low cost industrial and agricultural wastes into more valuable resultants with the help of emerging scientific approaches. Objective: to produce single cell protein from microorganism (fungus) through the process of submerged fermentation utilizing the agro-industrial waste (potato peel) as substrate. Methods: Four broths (control, glucose broth, potato peel broth and mix broth) were prepared. The maximum dry cell biomass (0.523 g/100 ml) was obtained with mix broth which was unitized for further research. All the broths were supplemented with potassium dihydrogen phosphate, magnesium sulphate, sodium chloride, and yeast extract. Result: The growth of fungal biomass in stirred tank and bubble column fermenter was compared and optimum yield was obtained with bubble column fermenter (5.45 g/100ml). This bioconversion will not only supply protein rich food but also help in control of environmental pollution. Conclusion: It is concluded that potato peels can be an attractive substrate for the production of single cell protein as they are good source of sugar and other nutrients required for the support of microorganisms
