Özet

This study aimed to increase the protein content of duckweed, a promising alternative to animal proteins and a sustainable source of plant protein cultivated via soilless agriculture, by manipulating the culture medium conditions (Hoagland solution). The contribution percentages of KH 2 PO 4 and Ca(NO 3 ) 2 , pivotal macro -elements in Hoagland solution affecting duckweed protein content, were determined using Plackett-Burman factorial design as 33.06 % and 36.61 %, respectively. Additionally, optimization was conducted employing response surface methodology, incorporating pH alongside KH 2 PO 4 and Ca(NO 3 ) 2 . Under optimal conditions of 3.92 mM KH 2 PO 4 , 7.95 mM Ca(NO 3 ) 2 , and 7.22 pH, the protein content of duckweed increased significantly, reaching 51.09 % from 39.81 %. The duckweed cultivated in modified Hoagland solution exhibited protein content of 41.74 %, while duckweed grown in commercial Hoagland solution displayed protein content of 33.01 %. This study showed protein content of duckweed could significantly increase according to the growth medium and showcasing its potential as a sustainable source of plant protein.
