Abstract

Candida utilis was employed for the production of single cell protein (SCP) from fruit waste extract (FWE) using submerged fermentation in shake flask. Different cultural conditions were optimized for the maximum yield of cell biomass. Maximum yield of cell biomass appeared when fruit waste extract was supplemented with soluble starch as carbon and ammonium nitrate as nitrogen sources at pH 6.0. The incubation period of 4 days was found suitable for maximum Candida utilis biomass with 4% (v/v) inoculum size. The protein contents (49%) were also estimated in Candida utilis biomass which indicated its potential for feed supplement in both animals and humans to improve protein deficiency associated malnutrition.
