download PDFAbstract. This study aimed to utilize the waste of date’s industry to produce single cell protein. Five fungal strains were evaluated and the production conditions were optimized. A. oryzae was selected as the optimum strain due to its vigorous growth and high protein production. Ammonium sulfate at 0.8% was the best source of nitrogen for the selected strain, pH at 5.5 and the medium ratio of 75 g in 250 ml flask were the best for growth. The single cell protein produced has a good source of nutrition, as the ratio of essential to the total amino acids was 46%. These results benefit establishing large-scale production to produce single cell protein from date’s waste which creates a source of income to this sector and prevent pollution from such waste.
