| Abstract [eng] |
In the current scenario, the human race is increasing every day and to fulfil the need of food for expanding population it is difficult through the traditional methods of food from fields. There are many studies going on to reuse the food or to extract nutrients from the residue of industrial waste. The brewers spent yeast is one among them which contains a high nutrient value and is used as mainly animal feed or waste. This research will help in the reuse of yeast for the extraction of proteins from it and to use in food industries. The yeast was mixed with lactic acid of lower concentrations and hydrolysed at different temperatures to breakdown the bonds between them and filter the mixture obtained. The yeast with lactic acid of 2% concentration hydrolysed at 140 °C gives the effective protein extraction from yeast sample. By this method, 80% of the protein was been extracted from the total amount of protein present in the sample. So, these extracted proteins can be used for manufacturing consumable products for human beings. The approximate cost analysis of setting up an industrial plant was analysed and Return on investment was calculated in this research which will be helpful for the buyers to choose this process for protein extraction from brewers spent yeast. |
