The study is concerned with the design and fabrication of laboratory scale solid state fermenter for the production of value added products using Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus oryzae with very low cost effective requirements, for the biosynthesis of protease using solid state fermentation. The solid state fermenter that is designed and fabricated is a tray type fermenter, so that the fungal species can get the maximum surface area for the growth and yield the maximum product. The protease that is produced is extracellular, so the cost of downstream processing is reduced. Total four types of fungal strains was utilized, NCIM no. 646 and 1212 of Aspergillus oryzae and 535 and 549 of Aspergillus flavus. Out of these four, Aspergillus oryzae 1212 gave the maximum yield of protease, that is 8.6 g/L. Vegetable waste of cauliflower and cabbage were used as media, as it contains the enough amount of carbohydrates as carbon source and other nutritional ingredients. The cost of fermentation was reduced by using carbon source as agriculture waste .The fabrication and design of the solid state fermenter is done for carrying out the fermentation process under specified optimal conditions. The different parameters are optimized for studying enzyme activity, such as effect of pH and temperature. At pH of 7.2 & temperature 320C, maximum yield of protease were obtained.
