Microbial production of protein from reservoir of acerola (malpighia emarginata d.c) for animal feeding

Obteve-se os seguintes resultados para proteína bruta: 9,85%; 17,91%; 43,11% e 59,06%, respectivamente. Concluiu-se que houve eficácia do processo uma vez que se obteve valores similares e maiores que o concentrado convencional da soja muito utilizado na dieta dos animais. Summary: The objective of this work was to characterize the chemical bromatological composition of the acerola co - product before and after protein enrichment with the yeast of the species Sacharomyces cerevisae in semi - solid fermentation for animal feed. Four treatments were performed, the control containing the co-product in in natura form and the others containing 2% of yeast for treatment II; 2% of yeast plus 1% of urea forming treatment III and 2% of yeast plus 2% of urea for treatment IV which remained 24 hours at room temperature for 24 hours subjected in this period in semi-solid fermentation. The following results were obtained for crude protein: 9.85%; 17.91%; 43.11% and 59.06%, respectively. It was concluded that there was an efficacy of the process since similar and higher values were obtained than the conventional concentrate of the soybean used in the animals' diet. ________________________
