The correct Answer is:
To determine why fungal Single Cell Protein (SCP) is not suitable for human consumption, we can analyze each of the given options: 1. **Understanding Fungal SCP**: Fungal SCP refers to protein derived from fungi. While fungi can be a source of protein, certain factors can make them unsuitable for human consumption. 2. **Evaluating the Options**: - **(I) High MG**: This option is unclear without context. "MG" could refer to various things, but it is not a commonly recognized reason for the unsuitability of fungal SCP. - **(II) Low Protein**: Fungal SCP is generally known for being high in protein content, so this option is not valid. - **(III) Mycotoxins**: Mycotoxins are toxic compounds produced by fungi. These toxins can be harmful to humans and are a significant reason why fungal SCP may not be safe for consumption. - **(IV) High percentage of RNA**: Fungi often contain high levels of RNA, which can lead to issues such as digestive problems in humans. 3. **Conclusion**: Based on the evaluation, the two main reasons fungal SCP is not suitable for human consumption are: - High mycotoxins (III) - High percentage of RNA (IV) Thus, the correct answer is (III) and (IV). ### Final Answer: Fungal SCP is not suitable for human consumption because of: - (III) Mycotoxins - (IV) High percentage of RNA
