SCP Nutraceutical Industry A small Overview Single Cell Protein Companies In the Domain Indian Nutraceuticals Food Supplements Spirulina Benefits Chlorella Benefits Chlorella Companies Spirulina Companies Spirulina Tablets Chlorella Tablets Spirulina Capsules Chlorella Capsules Powder forms Production Of SINGLE CELL PROTEINS

2. The term Single Cell Protein was
coined by Carol L. Wilson during
1966
1. The term single cell protein refers to
-the dried microbial cell or total protein
-extracted from pure microbial cell culture (algae, bacteria,
filamentous fungi, yeast)
• food supplement
(a) to humans. (Food grade) or
(b) animals (Feed grade)

3. • Yeast in bread and beverage production since 2500 BC.
• 1781 high concenteration yeast production.
• The primary use was as poultry and cattle feed.
• The Soviets were particularly enthusiastic, and opened
many plants during 1900’s.
• In olden days, the filamentous alga Spirulina was
harvested in the lake Chad of Africa was consumed as
food.

5. • Serves as an edible protein source
• Single-cell fermenters covering 0.8 sq km could supply 10% protein
requirement of the world's population.
• By-products of the industry (food, paper) can be fermented by
many microorganisms as inexpensive energy sources.
• To methane, alcohol, starch, molasses, cellulose, and animal waste
products.
• Fewer requirements are needed for algae
• Photosynthetic organisms grow illuminated ponds supplied with
mineral nutrients.

6. • Problems associated with single-cell protein:
• Have limited its development as a major food source.
• Most single-cell protein is not palatable, unless processed to
eliminate bitter or unpleasant tasting materials.
• Digestibility of single-cell protein varies with the sources. Cooking
algae increases its digestibility, but the digestibility of yeast is little
altered by processing.
Genetically engineered microorganisms may overcome this
deficiency.

7. 1. Provide a carbon source
2. Provide N, P and other nutrients for growth.
3. Prevent contamination by maintaining sterile
conditions.
4. The selected microorganism is inoculated in a
pure state.
5. SCP highly aerated and colling conditons
required.
6. The microbial biomass is recovered from the
medium.
7. Biomass processed for enhaced stability
The Production Of Single Cell Protein

8. Cultivation of Spirulina in tropical countries
is easier than other algal cultivation
because aeration of CO2 is not necessary for this species
since it can maximally utilizes the amounts of carbon
-pH around 8.5
-temperature around 30 °C (86 °F)
-autotrophic
• a nutrient feed for growing
1. Baking soda
2. Potassium nitrate
3. Sea salt
4. Potassium phosphate
5. Iron sulphate
