Optimization of Process Variables of Citric Acid Production Using Aspergillus Niger In A Batch Fermentor
نویسندگان
چکیده
sucrose concentration of 60 g/l. Lower amounts of citric acids were found to be produced with other speeds (250-310 rpm).The oxygen flow rate of 1.0 lpm was observed to he most favorable flow rate giving maximum amount of Citric acid (26.6 g/l) with initial sucrose concentration of (60 g/l).. Lower Citric acids were found to be produced with other flow rates (1.5-2.5 lpm).

Process Optimization of Citric Acid Production from Aspergillus Niger Using Fuzzy Logic Design
The inherent non-linearity of citric acid fermentation from Aspergillus niger renders its control difficult, so there is a need to fine-tune the bioreactor performance for maximum production of citric acid in batch culture. For this, fuzzy logic is becoming a popular tool to handle non-linearity of a batch process. The present manuscript deals with fuzzy logic control of citric acid accretion b...
متن کاملApplication of Plackett Burman Design for Citric Acid Production from Pretreated and Untreated Wheat Straw
A solid state fermentation method was used to utilize wheat straw as substrates for citric acid production by using Aspergillus niger ATCC 9142. The Plackett Burman design (PBD) of experiments was used to test the relative importance of the variables affecting production such as moisture content, age of spore, inoculum size, initial pH of substrate, methanol conce...
متن کاملProduction of citric acid by Aspergillus niger using cane molasses in a stirred fermentor
The present investigation deals with the kinetics of submerged citric acid fermentation by Aspergillus niger using blackstrap molasses as the basal fermentation media. A laboratory scale stirred fermentor of 15-L capacity having working volume of 9-L was used for cultivation process and nutritional analysis. Among the 10 stock cultures of Aspergillus niger, the strain GCBT7 was found to enhance...
متن کاملInfluences of alcohol derivatives on citric acid productivity by Aspergillus niger in stirred fermentor
Influences of phenol, α-naphtol and β-naphtol, which are toxic chemicals, on citric acid biosynthesis and biomass in the artificial culture setting of Aspergillus niger using batch fermenter are examined in the most favorable fermentation conditions, and a model is proposed. Addition of certain concentrations of phenol, α-naphtol and β-naphtol to the culture reduces the citric acid production. ...
متن کاملOptimization of Single Cell Protein Production by Aspergillus niger Using Taguchi Approach
: World population has been continuously raised and therefore due to this fact new source of foods, particularly proteins, are in demand. In recent years, single cell protein has been considered as an accepted substitute for animal and plant proteins. In this study, single cell protein production was studied in a batch submerged culture using Aspergillus niger PTCC5012. Experimental design was ...
