Abstract

Investigations were carried out to reduce cellulose and hemicellulose from mustard seed meal by diferent methods
to prepared dietary fibre. Reduction in hemicellulose was found to be 28.31 % when detoxified mustard seed meal was
autoclaved at 15 lbs/inclf for 30 mins. A significant reduction in cellulose and hemicellulose was also observed on
treatment with sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate. A further reduction in these fibrous components was found
on autoclaving the sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate treated meal. Reduction in cellulose contents was 26.45%
after fermentation of detoxified meal with Trichoderma viride for 72 hrs. Protein digestibility of the meal was improved
with the application of these treatments.
