Abstract
Waste from agro-industries is widely utilized for the making of microbial pigments using fermentation technique. Production of microbial pigments through the fermentation is a metabolic process that produces chemical changes in organic substrate through the action of enzymes. Production of food grade pigments needs high capital investments. Thus, utilization of agro-industrial waste plays an imperative role in the low cost production of microbial pigments. Agricultural industrial sector generates waste at large scale in the form of seeds, bagasse, whey and molasses etc. Agro-industrial wastes are not only biodegradable but also full of nutrients. Microbial pigment production through agro-industrial waste is an inexpensive and environmental friendly process that has positive impact on the environment. This review paper is aimed to focus on the microbial pigments production through agro-industrial waste as a substrate using fermentation technique. Agro-industrial waste utilization will reduce the environmental pollution as well as can help to produce variety of biological products such as biogases and biopigments etc.
