Abstract

Deproteinized leaf juice is one of the byproduct of mechanical process is known as Green Crop Fractionation. It contains all primary metabolite required for the growth of fungi. In present investigation, Penicillium notatum was cultured on the various concentration of deproteinized leaf juice of Brassica oleraceae, Raphanus sativus and Trigonella foenum Species. Among these deproteinized leaf juices of Raphanus sativus give better results for the biomass production of Penicillium notatum.

Keywords: Green crop fractionation, deproteinized leaf juice, Penicillium notatum, biomass production.
