Dynamic mathematical modelling of reaction kinetics for xylitol fermentation using Candida tropicalis
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Xylitol is an extracellular sugar alcohol produced by the biological conversion of xylose through the fermentation process. The present study investigates the reaction kinetics of xylitol fermentation by considering the effect of substrate and product concentration on the microbial growth rate. A 3.5-L batch fermentation produced xylitol at different xylose concentrations and agitation speeds. The experimental data showed that the xylose concentration limit was less than 100 g/L and that increasing the xylose concentration reduced the xylitol and cell yields. The optimum agitation speed was 400 rpm with a kLa value of 32.6 h−1. The experimental data were used to estimate the unknown parameters with gPROMS software. The Monod model was modified to include the inhibitory effect of the substrate and the limitation effect of dissolved oxygen on cell growth.

Detoxification of Corncob Acid Hydrolysate with SAA Pretreatment and Xylitol Production by Immobilized Candida tropicalis
Xylitol fermentation production from corncob acid hydrolysate has become an attractive and promising process. However, corncob acid hydrolysate cannot be directly used as fermentation substrate owing to various inhibitors. In this work, soaking in aqueous ammonia (SAA) pretreatment was employed to reduce the inhibitors in acid hydrolysate. After detoxification, the corncob acid hydrolysate was ...
متن کاملXylitol Production from Corn Cobs Hemicellulosic Hydrolysate by Candida tropicalis Immobilized Cells in Hydrogel Copolymer Carrier
The ability of five yeast strains (locally isolated) to ferment xylose to xylitol were screened using a corn cobs hydrolysate. Candida tropicalis proved to be the best producer. The effects of culture conditions, namely initial pH, nitrogen source and yeast extract concentration on xylitol production were evaluated. The conditions for batch production of xylitol, using C. tropicalis immobilized...
متن کاملAerobic and sequential anaerobic fermentation to produce xylitol and ethanol using non-detoxified acid pretreated corncob
BACKGROUND For economical bioethanol production from lignocellulosic materials, the major technical challenges to lower the production cost are as follows: (1) The microorganism should use efficiently all glucose and xylose in the lignocellulose hydrolysate. (2) The microorganism should have high tolerance to the inhibitors present in the lignocellulose hydrolysate. The aim of the present work ...
متن کاملNitric Acid-Treated Carbon Fibers with Enhanced Hydrophilicity for Candida tropicalis Immobilization in Xylitol Fermentation
Nitric acid (HNO₃)-treated carbon fiber (CF) rich in hydrophilic groups was applied as a cell-immobilized carrier for xylitol fermentation. Using scanning electron microscopy, we characterized the morphology of the HNO₃-treated CF. Additionally, we evaluated the immobilized efficiency (IE) of Candida tropicalis and xylitol fermentation yield by investigating the surface properties of nitric aci...
متن کاملOptimized Production of Xylitol from Xylose Using a Hyper-Acidophilic Candida tropicalis
The yeast Candida tropicalis DSM 7524 produces xylitol, a natural, low-calorie sweetener, by fermentation of xylose. In order to increase xylitol production rate during the submerged fermentation process, some parameters-substrate (xylose) concentration, pH, aeration rate, temperature and fermentation strategy-have been optimized. The maximum xylitol yield reached at 60-80 g/L initial xylose co...
