Tamarindus indica seed induced tannase production from Aspergillus niger

Introduction and Aim: Tannase an inducible extracellular microbial enzyme is extensively produced by different fermentation techniques finds wide applications in food, pharmaceutical textile industries. The present investigation focused on tannase production from Aspergillus niger through submerged (SmF) solid-substrate (SSF) using media. was also induced tamarind seeds. Methods Materials: grown various media such as screening broth (TSB), Czapek Dox (CDB), Sabouraud’s Dextrose (SDB) Potato (PDB). Among solid substrates wheat bran, ground nut cake, coconut cake seed powder used individually mixed form. Results: In SmF, the highest activity of 713.6 U/ml found TSB, followed CDB (590.6 U/ml), SDB (465.6 U/ml) PDB (424.8 U/ml). all 4th day while 6th incubation. carried out supplemented with 2% processed seeds to test for its induction, where (936 raw than SSF showed 1708.6 U/gds 1278.0, 986.5, 826.3 723.6 seeds, respectively. Conclusion: be medium indicating that tannic acid serve induce increased enzyme.
