Description
Summary:The rapid development of poultry industry has correlated with increased production of keratin containing wastes. keratinous wastes can be easily fermented to produce useful product. A feather protien hydrolysate was produced by keratinolytic fungal aspergillus terreus UniMAP AA-1 using submerged fermentation and physical parameters were optimized. To improve protien hydrolysate production, statistically based experimental design were applied to optimize the physical parameters. Fractional factorial design (FFD) experiments showed that initial pH medium and fermentation time were the most significant factors affecting protien hydrolysate production.
