Abstract: The effect of mono-culture fungal fermentation on mineral composition and amino acid profile of mango(Mangifera indica) kernel cake was investigated. Rhizopus oligosporus, Aspergillus niger, Rhizopus stolonifer andPenicillium chrysogenum were isolated from decomposed mango kernels and then used to ferment mango kernelcake (MKC) for 168hrs. After fermentation the resulted MKC was dried at 600C before analysis for minerals andamino acid profiles. The values of calcium (119.3mg/kg), potassium (457.1mg/kg) and iron (187.1mg/kg) of the R.stolonifer fermented MKC were higher (p
