Production of lipase by Candida rugosa in solid state fermentation. 1: determination of significant process variables

Abstract

The effect of process variables in the production of Candida rugosa lipase using rice bran has been studied by solid state fermentation (SSF). The particle size and oil content of the bran and the addition of urea and maltose have a pronounced effect on the production of lipase. Immobilization of lipase on rice bran ( in situ) has been found possible.
