Protein accounts for the major requirement of the human body. Single cell protein (SCP) represents microbial cells grown in mass culture that are harvested as dried cell mass in the form of natural protein. Agricultural waste used for SCP proves to be a cheap and economic source and also helps management of waste . In the present study, orange and beetroot fruit waste was used as a substrate to grow Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Aspergillus niger to obtain SCP. Protein estimation was done by Folin Lowry method and determination of wet and dry weight was estimated and SCP produce calculated. The SCP produced will be a convenient feeding source for poultry, fisheries and animal farms.
