The optimum conditions for the fermentation of African locust bean (Parkia biglobosa) into a vegetable protein based condiment (Iru) were developed using Levenberg-Marquardt (or Powell) method (using PSI software) with three (3) variables namely; inoculum concentration (bacillus subtilis), temperature and the fermentation duration. African locust bean seeds were fermented at various temperature of 40 - 70 °С for five days (120 hours) with different concentrations of Inoculum. The proximate analysis shows that fermentation increased the percentage protein. Protein had the highest composition with about 51 % after 72 hours at the lowest fermentation temperature of 40°С.

“…In the fruit processing plant, the management system is challenged by the waste they generate such as peels and skins. Orange peel is a major waste that has a substantial burden on the environment; hence it is necessary to find a feasible way to dispose of the peels to have a positive environmental impact or turn them into useful products 20 . Its recent discovery in industries has helped to curb environmental pollution, as these papers can be recycled so that they can be re-used instead of being wasted 6, 21 .…”

An alternative energy sources using the sweet orange (Citrus sinensis (L.) waste as the feedstock was investigated; this is an approach to environmental protection. The extraction of pectin from sweet orange peel waste (pith) and the production of ethanol from the resultant liquid pectin with the aid of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) were carried out. Dried pith was separated using various particle sizes ranging from 0.075, 0.5, 1.0 and 5 mm. It was observed that pith with a particle size of 1.0 mm produced a larger volume of pectin while the pith with a particle size of 0.075 mm produced the least volume of pectin. 1,770 ml pectin was obtained from 802 g of pith; this shows that citrus fruit (especially orange) contains a high amount of pectin. E. coli (bacteria), yeast (fungus) and a mixture of both were added to the produced pectin which was fermented to ethanol. It was however noticed that sample pectin + E. coli + yeast, and sample pectin + E. coli produced a good volume of ethanol, but sample pectin only and sample pectin + yeast did not produce ethanol. The energy content of the total produced ethanol is 1526.6 Btu which can be mixed with pure gasoline to obtain an optimum energy content that can be used to power a citrus processing plant in Nigeria. The purpose of this paper is to obtain an alternative energy source for citrus plants using the waste generated by them such as orange peel.

“…This is due to the combined advantages of relatively lower cost, higher effectiveness and resultant lower adverse impacts on the ambient environment, ensuing from the use of bioremediation instead of the other methods that could rather lead to further environmental-toxicity [7,10,[16][17]. The technique of bioremediation exhibits these potencies from the abilities of employing metabolic activities of animals, plants and microorganisms for removal or conversion from toxic to non-toxic compounds, i.e.…”
