摘要:
This invention is directed to methods of obtaining a high quantity of desired acid salt in a form that is relatively easy to recover. Particularly desired as a recovery product is an organic acid. A salt form of the desired organic acid is formed that is relatively high in concentration and that is relatively soluble in an aqueous medium. The method includes a step of fermenting a fermentable carbon source in the fermentation medium in the presence of a magnesium compound containing oxygen.

The present invention relates to a method for producing citric acid from glycerol with a yield of more than 70%. The method comprises fermenting a filamentous fungus on a substrate which comprises glycerol. The advantage of the method according to the invention is that a widely available substrate, i.e. glycerol, can be used and that yields may be obtained which are much higher than the yields obtained using state of the art methods for producing citric acid from glycerol. The glycerol is used in combination with one or more other carbon sources.

The present invention relates to the field of fermentation technology. In particular the invention relates to fermentation processes for the production of a first and a second fermentation product by a single production organism wherein the first product is in a more reduced state than the substrate and the second fermentation product is in a more oxidised state than the substrate yet in less oxidised state than the final oxidation product CO2, such that the concurrent synthesis of the first and second product in the organism allows recycling of reducing power and can be performed under (partially) anaerobic conditions. The invention further relates to processes in which the first fermentation product is weak alkaline compound and the second fermentation product is a weak acidic compound. In such instances both products may be produced by a single organism in a single fermenter or each the first and second product may be produced by two different organisms that are co-fermented. Co-fermentation may be performed in two separate fermenters that are connected through micro-sieves that allow circulation of soluble medium components between the two fermenters but prevent circulation of the production organisms' cells. The invention also relates to such processes in which the first and second fermentation products are capable of forming a(n) (insoluble) complex or salt.

摘要:
Disclosed is an improved method for preparing a particulate citric acid or an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt thereof. The method involves spray granulating citric acid or a salt thereof from its partially purified fermentation broth to form granules which are freer flowing and less inclined to fracture than is citric acid or its salts prepared by crystallization techniques which properties render the material prepared by the present method suitable for handling in bulk.
摘要:
A process for the recovery of citric acid from a citric acid fermentation broth comprising
i) subjecting said citric acid fermentation broth to evaporation to produce a concentrate; ii) subjecting such concentrate to an extraction operation with a recycled amine extractant citric acid solution; iii) withdrawing the aqueous extraction raffinate from said extraction operation; iv) withdrawing the said concentrated amine extractant citric acid solution extract and back-extracting it with water to obtain an aqueous citric acid solution and a depleted amine extractant citric acid solution; and v) recycling said depleted amino extractant citric acid solution to the extraction operation.
摘要:
A method for immobilizing viable microorganisms in kappa-carrageenan is disclosed. The method involves mixing the microorganisms and kappa-carrageenan together and gelling the mixture with an epihalohydrin alkylene polyamine polymer or with polyethyleneimine. Also disclosed are methods of producing citric acid and ethanol from immobilized microorganisms.
