Role of Trichoderma in Bioprocessing

Department: Biotechnology
Duration: 6 months
Year: 2022-2023

Outcome: Trichoderma species are prolific producers of Cellulase enzymes, which are crucial for the breakdown of cellulose into fermentable sugars. These enzymes are highly applicable in bioprocessing industries, such as biofuel production, pulp and paper manufacturing, and textile processing, to efficiently convert biomass into valuable products.
Our study analysed the significant role of fungal Cellulase enzyme in breaking down of Cellulose to obtain free fermentable sugars which were readily available for SHF. The study provided the enhanced bioprocessing and alcohol yield from waste biomass.

Analysis of Casein in Milk Samples

Department: Chemistry (PG)
Duration: 3 months
Year: 2021-2022

Outcome: The observations and calculations done for different milk samples explained that the goat milk contains the highest amount of casein in it while in case of packaged milk, toned milk has the highest amount of casein. Casein is the main protein constituent of milk and contains all the amino acids which the human body cannot manufacture on its own. More the casein present in the milk, the healthier the milk is. So, milk which is considered as a complete food should be consumed daily for better and health human growth.

Analysis of Ascorbic Acid in Fruit Juices

Department: Chemistry (PG)
Duration: 3 months
Session: 2021-2022
Outcome : The observations and calculations done for different varieties of fruit juices( packed and fresh) provided with one common conclusion that the amla(gooseberry) juice gave the highest amount of ascorbic acid present in it followed by orange and pineapple juices. Ascorbic acid or Vitamin C is an important requirement for human nutrition and health for all age groups and that it should be consumed on a regular basis.

Isolation and Characterization of soil borne microbe
Department: Biotechnology
Duration: 6 months
Year: 2021-2022

Outcome: The designed work provided the four isolated soil borne fungal species. Isolated fungi were further characterized by the Microscopic & staining methods. The fungal mycelia & spores were observed for detailed morphological characters.
Advance study on isolated soil microbes can provide valuable information about microbial production of bioactive compounds like antibiotics and enzymes. Utilizing Specific or Assay media for Isolation uncovered their role in production of novel compounds.
