Abstract:
The invention  discloses a creation of composite consists of different fruit peels followed by enrichment with omega-3 fatty acids originally derived  from microorganisms of group Thraustochytrids. The process comprises the following steps: 1) collecting waste fresh pineapple peels,  banana peels, orange peels and mausambi peels, drying, removing rotten parts and grinding them to powder; 2) synergization of best  combination for the creation of fruit peel wastes-based composite using response surface methodology; 3) inoculation of  Aurantiochytrium cells in to the composite of fruit peel wastes and incubation at 25?C thereby obtaining enriched composite  comprising microbially-derived omega-3 fatty acids and fruit peel wastes in Solid State Fermentation conditions; 4) total protein  content of the composite adjusted at least about 30% or 40% with soyabean husk or soyabean. The final product can be processed as  feed supplement to fish to enhance the fatty acids content of fishes. This invention finds suitability over prior art because the present  invention is an eco-friendly, zero-waste, low cost, facile, rapid and solid waste management system.
