Journal ArticleDOI
Anaerobic digestion of fruit and vegetable processing wastes for biogas production
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of feeding different fruit and vegetable wastes, mango, pineapple, tomato, jackfruit, banana and orange, was studied in a 60-liter digester by cycling each waste every fifth day in order to operate the digester as and when there was supply of feed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ensilage of pineapple processing waste for methane generation.
D. Swaroopa Rani,Krishna Nand +1 more
TL;DR: The ensilage of pineapple processing wastes reduced the biological oxygen demand by 91% and ensilaging of pineapple peel resulted in the conversion of 55% carbohydrates into volatile fatty acids for methane generation by anaerobic digestion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lactobacillus amylovorus as a phytase producer in submerged culture
TL;DR: Lactobacillus amylovorus B4552 produced the maximum amounts of phytase ranging from 125 to 146 units ml‐1 extracellularly under the submerged cultivation conditions and has potential in improving nutritional qualities of cereal and pulse‐based food fermentations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of fungal rennet by Mucor miehei using solid state fermentation
TL;DR: In this article, a thermophilic strain of Mucor miehei under solid state fermentation conditions was used for the production of fungal rennet, and a high ratio of 6.6:1 between milk clotting and proteolytic activities for this enzyme was obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of thermostable cellulase-free xylanase by Clostridium absonum CFR-702
D. Swaroopa Rani,Krishna Nand +1 more
TL;DR: Corn cob could be utilised as a carbon source for economical production of xylanase by C. absonum CFR-702 and glucose and β-methyl xyloside reduced the activity.
