Abstract
An attempt has been made to optimize the production of enzyme tannase by solid state fermentation (SSF) using the organism Rhizopus oryzae. The best favourable conditions for enzyme production include initial pH 5 with 4 days of incubation period at 40°C and 72% humidity, and 10 g wheat bran soaked in 2.5% tannic acid.
