Utilization of Potato peel and Curd whey as the Agro industrial substrates for Biosurfactant production using Pseudomonas aeruginosa PBS29
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy (IOSRPHR) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 6
Abstract
This study elicited the utilization of the cheapest agro-industrial waste as the major substrate for Biosurfactant production. The fermentation medium was formulated by supplementing the substrates, Homogenized Potato peel extract (HPPE) and Curd whey. The utilization of substrates and the biosurfactant activity were accessed. The utilization of the HPPE till 96hrs was found to be significant with the yield of 3.78 ± 0.4 (g/l) and Emulsification index of 60.07± 0.2 (%) respectively. The biosurfactant production was also optimized using the formulated Curd whey medium. The influence of various parameters such as C/P ratio, different metal ions with its synergistic effect, Concentration of Metal ions, Combined C/P ratio with metal ions were determined. The biosurfactant activity was observed to be satisfactory with the surface tension of the optimized Curd whey medium as 33.93 ± 0.3 (mN/m). Thus the formulated production medium using HPPE and Curd whey was suggested for the biosurfactant production using Pseudomonas aeruginosa PBS29.
