Abstract

This invention relates the optimum conditions and procedures for the development of the maximum yield of protein from fermented seeds of Parkia biglobosa. The steps involved include: (a) Separation of the seeds from the pod (b) The separation of the nuts the seed pericarp (c) The softening of the nuts (d) The enzymatic fermentation of the softened nuts. We have successfully produced about 52% protein nutrient, for the first time, from nuts of Parkia biglobosa at the optimum conditions of about 72 hours fermentation period, Bacillus subtilis enzymes concentration of about 20ml/gm seed and at a temperature of about 40⁰C.
