Abstract
Production of Single Cell Protein from Yeast using Papaya Extract Medium
C. Maragatham and A. Panneerselvam
Extracts of papaya fruit were used as substrate for single cell protein production using Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A 500 g of papaya fruit was extracted with different volumes of sterile distilled water. Extraction with 200ml of sterile distilled water sustained highest cell growth. Biochemical analysis of dry biomass revealed the following composition: 34.0% protein, 40.0%, sacchride, 0.003% lipids, 9.54% moisture and 0.14% total ash. Nutrition found in papaya fruit extract were 9.6% saccharide, 0.2% crude protein and 7.0% total soluble sugars.
