dc.description.abstractThe growth of single cell protein (SCP) on carbohydrate based food waste (yam peel) has been determined by spetrophotometric method at 540nm. The results obtained show that the specific growth rate (µ) of SCP produced in this way was 0.41 hr-1 substrate consumption rate was 0.021mg/(ml)(hr) while maximum specific growth rate was 1.113h-1 which was achieved within the first one hour of fermentation. The concentration of Single cell protein reached its peak at the 24th and 25th hour of fermentation period, which stabilizes for 30 minutes. The yield for a sterilized feed of carbohydrate based food (Yam peel) was determined to be 3.37 mg/ml, and a linear relationship was developed to predict the concentration of SCP of given absorbance at 540nm.en_US
