【 摘 要 】

Objectives: This work emphasizes on yeast biomass production (SCP) from paneer whey using lactose fermenting yeast strain. Methods: In the current study, 11 yeast strains were isolated from paneer whey sample collected from a dairy center in Chennai. The isolates were screened for their lactose fermenting ability and the strain that showed maximum growth in paneer whey was selected for biomass production. This strain was further tested for its ability to reduce BOD and to produce biomass. Results: The isolate which produced maximum biomass and crude protein content was identified as Kluveromyces marxianus. Conclusion: The results of the study show that the isolated strain Kluveromyces marxianus was capable of reducing the BOD and producing biomass of significant nutritional quality.
