Enzyme Assisted Extraction of Phenolic from Pineapple waste by Bacterial isolates PS6 and VC14

Author(s): Prerana Sharma* and Suhas J

Abstract: In the present study, from 8 soil samples, 23 isolates showed xylanase activity. Of the 23 isolates, PS6 showed maximum xylanase activity of 0.16 IU. Of which, PS6 were compatible with VC14 (cellulase producer). Co- culturing of PS6 and Pseudomonas VC14 showed maximum cellulase and xylanase activity production of 6th day. Different concentration of 1, 2 and 3% of pineapple waste in MSM broth was supplemented with xylanase, cellulase and both in consortia. It showed maximum antioxidant activity in consortia containing 3% waste. Therefore, it shows that phenolic content increases with increase in substrate concentration and the total phenolic content was high in broth containing both the strains.
