Abstract

Mango peel is one of the major wastes from fruit processing industries, which poses considerable disposal problems and ultimately leads to environmental pollution. The objective of the current research was to determine the significant parameters on the production of polygalacturonase from mango peel which is a major industrial waste. Solid state culture conditions for polygalacturonase production by Fusarium moniliforme from dried mango peel powder were optimized by Taguchi’s L-18 orthogonal array experimental design methodology. Eight fungal metabolic influencing variables, viz. temperature, mango peel, inoculum, peptone, ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3), magnesium sulphate (MgSO4), zinc sulphate (ZnSO4) and potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH2PO4) were selected to optimize polygalacturonase production. The optimized parameters composed of temperature (30°C), mango peel (6.5%, g, w/v), inoculum (8%, ml, v/v), peptone (1%, g, w/v), NH4NO3 (0.60%, g, w/v), MgSO4 (0.05%, g, w/v), ZnSO4 (0.06%, g, w/v) and KH2PO4 (0.4%, g, w/v). Based on the influence of interaction of fermentation components of fermentation, these could be classified as the least significant and the most significant at individual and interaction levels. The temperature, inoculum level, mango peel substrate and KH2PO4 showed maximum production impact at optimized conditions. From the optimized conditions the polygalacturonase activity was maximized to 43.2 U g−1.
