Abstract
Fractionation of aquatic green biomass of three water weeds for multiple use through yield of protein concentrate, fibrous residue and whey (deproteinised juice) has been studied. The potential of protein concentrate for use as food/feed supplement, that of fibrous residue as ensilaged fodder/substrate for mushroom growth/production of bioenergy and of whey as substrate for microbial fermentation has been studied and is discussed.
