Under these circumstances it was thought that it
would be ideal to scout for desirable sources exhibiting
favorable levels of invertase action suitable for commercial
exploitation. So the present study deals with the
production, partial purification and characterization of
one of the useful industrial enzymes (invertase) by utilization
of some agro-processing wastes such as sugarcane
pressmud and distillery spent yeast. Though there
could be more costly, sophisticated and unpredictable
solution to arrive at, we presume our methodology of
hitting upon a system with untapped residual invertase
activity could be the less costly, stable alternative which
can be successfully exploited commercially.
