Evaluation of Fermentation Conditions by Candida tropicalis for Xylitol Production from Sago Trunk Cortex
نویسندگان
چکیده
Xylitol production from sago trunk cortex hydrolysate using Candida tropicalis was evaluated in shake flasks and a bioreactor. The fermentation and kinetic behaviours of this microorganism were investigated using sago trunk cortex hydrolysate and commercial xylose as substrate. Results obtained for sago trunk hydrolysate were close to the commercial xylose with xylitol yield of 0.82 gg -1 and productivity of 0.39 gL -1 h -1 . The maximum specific growth rate, μmax for sago trunk cortex was higher (0.24 h -1 ) compared to commercial xylose (0.17 h -1 ). The bioreactor study showed an increase of about 6% (w/v) of xylitol concentration and 10% (v/v) of volumetric productivity when compared to the results obtained under the shake flasks, keeping xylitol yield above 0.8 g g -1 .

Xylitol 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...

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 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...
متن کاملDetoxification 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 ...
