Abstract

The present work has been taken up with a view of exploring the possibilities of using Agriculture by products with Tannic acid as a source for the production of tannase and optimizing condition require to get maximum production The fungus Aspergillus oryzae produced tannase from the cheap source of Paddy Husk on solid state fermentation. The crude tannase activity was found to be 9.5 U/g/min after Purification of Tannase by ammonium sulphate Precipitation 14.9 U/g/min, Dialysis 23.5 U/g/min and Column chromatography 28.3 U/g/min which increase the enzyme activity.
