Description
Fractionation of grass (herbage) into leaf protein concentrate (LPC) and crude fiber causes agricultural pollution because brown juice which remained after fractionation contains much minerals and spoilage materials such as sugar and so on. In order to dissolve this problem, for graminaceous plants, green juice was acidified with mineral acid to coagulate LPC. After then, Saccharomyces cerevisiae was cultivated using the brown juice and fodder yeast was obtained in good yield. Next, leguminous plants, green juice was directly fermented by Lactobacillus plantarum to decompose saponin and to coagulate LPC with lactic acid produced by Lact. plantarum. After then, the brown juice seperated from coagulated protein, was cultivated by Candida utilis which can utilize lactic acid.
