Comparative Study on Single Cell Protein (SCP) Production by Trichoderma Viride From Pineapple Wastes and Banana Peels

Review on Production of Single-Cell Protein from Food Wastes

“…Lignocellulose wastes from millions of tons of wheat, rice, and corn processed globally are potential raw materials for SCP production (Said et al, 2019). It can be produced from wheat bran (Yunus et al, 2015), orange peel (Milala et al, 2018;Zhou et al, 2019), banana peel (Jiru and Melku, 2018;Oshoma et al, 2017), pineapple waste (Mensah and Twumasi, 2017;Anichebe et al, 2019), potato, paper, and corncob starch waste residue (Al-Hadithi et al, 2018), rice straw, bagasse, and coffee husk (Said et al, 2019), tofu and cheese wastes (Putri et al, 2018), bele's fruit peel (Haddish, 2015), pulp, juice, and peel of lemon and orange (Mahan et al, 2018), potato wastewater and glycerol (Kurcz et al, 2018), sugarcane bagasse (Samadi et al, 2016), papaya (Rajendran et al, 2018), sugar beet pulp, cassava, coconut, grape and mango wastes (Suman et al, 2015).…”

“…The waste is then cut into small pieces and pulverized using a sterilized blender. The extract is then collected by filtration and use as a fermentation medium (Mensah and Twumasi, 2017;Anichebe et al, 2019;Rajendran et al, 2018) after sterilization at 121°C for 15 minutes (Mahan et al, 2018).…”

Production of growth media using different solid substrate (Oshoma et al, 2017;Mensah and Twumasi, 2017;Anichebe et al, 2019;Rajendran et al, 2018;Ahuja and Kumari, 2019;Jiru and Melku, 2018;Mahan et al, 2018) Protein yield in many microbial species was reported to be increased by mineral supplementation. The performance yield of A. niger was improved in a growth medium supplemented with minerals (Oshoma et al, 2017).…”

“…The laboratory grew Saccharomyces cerevisiae used in a beles' fruit peel (Haddish, 2015) and sugarcane bagasse (Samadi et al, 2016). Trichoderma viride can be isolated from soil (Anichebe et al, 2019), also Candida lusitaniae (Shete and Raut, 2018), and Raoutella ornithinolytica (Al-Hadithi et al, 2018). Torula yeast (Cyberlindnera sp) isolated from sawdust performed well in banana peel medium supplemented with (NH4)2SO4 as nitrogen (Jiru and Melku, 2018).…”

“…In the production of SCP, microorganisms utilize inexpensive feedstock or waste as carbon sources and grow into biomass rich in protein and amino acids (Nasseri et al, 2011). Feedstock and waste used in the production are mostly from agricultural sources and the product can be used as a protein supplement in either food or feed (Mensah and Twumasi, 2017;Anichebe et al, 2019). Agricultural wastes are rich in cellulose which is a suitable carbon source for some microorganisms.…”
