Abstract:
People in impoverished and third-world nations are at risk of having diets that are inadequate in protein, which can lead to major protein-energy malnutrition issues. With the world's population expanding quickly and global protein shortage, pressure is being put on the food industry to produce adequate feed to satisfy local dietary needs. By producing a cost-effective product for food and feed, the bioconversion of fruit wastes into some value products, such as single cell protein (SCP), has the potential to address the global protein shortage. Pakistan adopted new techniques in replacement of traditional methods for achievement of protein to eradicate malnutrition is the creation of single-cell proteins. The productivity of protein production from microorganisms is higher than that of conventional proteins. Other benefits of SCP over conventional protein sources include: it is independent of land and climate; operates continuously; can be genetically controlled; causes less pollution; and is affordable. Agricultural wastes are used in the current research to produce highly nutritious products, which help reduce environmental pollution cause of low carbon footprints. A study made by choosing Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the manufacture of SCP in light of this. For the creation of the fermentation media, on which the chosen fungal straincultivated, the fruit waste served as the only carbon source. The present research work helps in SCP production from inexpensive and cheap agrowaste material which is produced by food industry, pharmaceutical and fine chemical industry.
