 ABSTRACT

The present study was carried on exo-PGase production from Kinnow waste using A.niger MTCC 3323 which produced good amount of exo-polygalacturonase activity under various process conditions suc as pH, temperature organic and inorganic sources of nitrogen and incubation time.And Maximum PGase activity was observed at pH 5.0 and at 300 C and Maximum PGase activity with peptone as organic source and ammonium chloride as inorganic source of nitrogen and submerged fermentation was more suitable for exo-PGase activity than solid state fermentation.

Key words: Polygalacturonase; Pectinase; Solid state fermentation; Submerged fermentation; Kinnow peels.
