Abstract
The available energy, gross protein value, phosphorus availability and palatability of 16 samples of single cell protein were evaluated in 20 bioassays using total 2, 136 depleted chicks. Four protein samples were products from Aspergillus tamarii grown on waste water of a fish processing factory, three were from Aspergillus oryzae grown on either acetic acid medium or cooked soybean waste, three were from Candida sp. grown on citrus molasses extracted from peel wastes of citrus processing plants, four were from Candida utilis grown on wood molasses produced from various wood wastes, and two were from Pseudomonas sp. and Alteromonas thlasomethanolica grown on methanol. Five of 16 samples had excellent nutritive value, comparable to single cell proteins available commercially in Europe. All samples were palatable to the chicks, and no sign of acute toxicity was observed.
