Abstract EN

The present study aims at exploring the production of pectinolytic enzymes from an easily available and cheaper agro-residue (dried pineapple residue) fermented by newly isolated mixed culture of Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus sydowii through solid-state fermentation.

The optimum conditions that influence the extraction of pectinases from the fermented substrate were temperature, pH and incubation period, 35°C, 5.0 and 48h respectively.

Among the carbon sources tested for maximum production of enzymes, 2 % starch yielded maximum polygalacturonase (PG), whereas 3 % sucrose yielded pectin lyase (PL) and 3 % glucose enhanced production of pectate lyase (PAL).
