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 />
