g/L) was observed. It was found that GSH<br />
production along with biomass concentration was<br />
lesser than all pH values other than 6.0; hence<br />
pH was found to be a significant factor for GSH<br />
production. The results are found in accordance<br />
with Santos et al. (18). They reported maximum<br />
production <strong>of</strong> GSH, 60.5 mg/L (after 24 h) at an<br />
initial pH <strong>of</strong> 6.0 for using S. cerevisiae ATCC<br />

Effects <strong>of</strong> carbon sources: As during<br />
fermentation process, carbon source plays dual<br />
characteristic role, by acting as major constituent<br />
for building <strong>of</strong> cellular material <strong>and</strong> as an energy<br />
source (19, 20). Fig. 1 shows the effect <strong>of</strong><br />
different carbon sources on GSH production.<br />
None <strong>of</strong> the carbon sources increased the<br />
production further. Glucose as a sole carbon<br />
