| 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. |
