Single Cell Proteins for Human and Animal Nutrition

Abstract

Protein is the highest costed nutrients in human food and animal feeds. Protein production is requiredlabour intensified and highly costed process. In under developed countries, unbalanced and malnutrition problemsare common, because of higher population growth. Especially, in animal originated, higher biologic valued proteinproduction is getting expensive because of exces natural sources using (water, manure, feed etc.) Monogastricanimals (pig, fish, poultry and pet animals) and humans are dependent on essential amino acids. These limitedamino acids are abundant in animal proteins. For a long time, reserchers are seeking alternative protein sourcesfor food and feed. Some microorganisms just like bacteria, yeast, algae and fungi can use some agriculturel andindustrial wastes as row materials for good quality single cell protein production.
