ABSTRACT

Microbial lipase is majorly produced by Submerged Fermentation (SmF), which is well known for the engineering aspects that’s currently being developed. However Solid State Fermentation (SSF) has shown some advantages over Submerged Fermentation in production of enzyme comparatively, even at the commercial scale. Solid state fermentation holds tremendous potential for the production of the enzyme Lipase by Aspergillus niger. Solid Substrate like Wheat bran, Gingelly oil cake which is rich in starch was used. These agro industrial residues are cheap raw materials for the production of lipase. Aspergillus niger was identified to be the best producer of lipase. When Aspergillus niger was incubated at room temperature for 6 days it showed a high yield of lipase in gingelly oil cake substrate in solid state fermentation. The enzyme showed remarkable stability in presence of detergents and it could be effectively used for removal of triglyceride oils in laundry. Keywords: Solid state fermentation, Lipase, Aspergillus niger, Solid substrate (Wheat bran, Gingely oil cake), Detergents, Triglyceride oils
