Protein supplement production by fermentation from waste vegetable raw materials

Abstract

As a raw material for microbial protein production, it is more rational to use plant resources, since they are widespread in the world and renewable. As a result of processing of plant raw materials for food production, plant wastes are formed, which are most often directed for use as fodder for farm animals and birds. If such use is not possible, the plant waste is sent for composting. This is a biochemical process in which solid organic waste, at a certain humidity, in the presence of oxygen and a mixed culture of microorganisms, transforms into a stable product containing humic and fulvic acids, which can be used as a fertilizer and soil improver.
