10.22376/ijpbs.2019.10.1.p1-12 Volume 5 Issue 3 2014 (July- September) This study reviews the application of Solid State Fermentation (SSF) to the production of lipase enzyme. Lipase production has been investigated by SSF of agro-industrial wastes like coconut oil cake, wheat rava, wheat bran, gingelly oil cake etc., by lessThan i greaterThan Aspergillus niger lessThan /i greaterThan MTCC 2594 lessThan i greaterThan . lessThan /i greaterThan Highest enzyme production was obtained by combination of wheat bran, coconut oil cake, wheat rava (5:2:1), with moisture content of 1:1.5, 250ml of spore suspension at 30 lessThan sup greaterThan o lessThan /sup greaterThan C. Media supplementation with nitrogen source as commercial casein (0.5%) and Palm oil increased enzyme production, to 559U/g DS (Dry substrate) and with a productivity rate of 7.76 Units per hour. Initial studies on enzymatic hydrolysis of different vegetable oils by lipase produced by SSF showed that palm oil was hydrolyzed efficiently to 74.49% after 72 hours of reaction time and with 50U of lipase.
