The purpose of this study was to investigate the capability Streptococcus thermophilus TISTR 458 on hyaluronic acid (HA) production by using various carbon sources including glucose, sucrose and sugarcane molasses. HA determined a turbidity assay precipitation with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) sugar content analysed sulphuric acid-UV spectrophotometry method. results showed that S. pro...

The conditions required for production of levo 2,3-butylene glycol by Bacillus polymyxa from citrus molasses were studied. Starter cultures required acclimatization to the substrate prior to inoculation of the fermentation medium. Maximal production of butylene glycol with minimal residual sugar was obtained with a medium consisting of molasses, diluted to 20 degrees Brix, and 0.4% urea. Optima...

The changes in some physicochemical properties, sugar, organic acid and volatile compound contents fresh Verdani grape (Vitis vinifera L.) juice (FGJ) were evaluated the production of its traditional molasses (pekmez). After production, total soluble solid (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), glucose, fructose, malic, citric succinic concentrations increased (P

This work aimed to evaluate the effect of sugar cane molasses and glycerol on glutathione (GSH) fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 7754 in flask culture using response surface methodology. Under optimized conditions (80 g/L of molasses and 60 g/L of glycerol), the highest GSH and biomass concentration achieved were 119.6 mg/L and 25.3 g/L, respectively. Further studies done in 5 L bi...

One osmotolerant strain from among 44 yeast isolates was selected based on its growth abilities in media containing high concentrations of sucrose. This selected strain, named SKENNY, was identified as Meyerozyma guilliermondii by sequencing the internal transcribed spacer regions and partial D1/D2 large-subunit domains of the 26S ribosomal RNA. SK-ENNY was utilized to produce high-fructose glu...

The present study deals with the pre-treatment of sugar cane molasses for the enhanced production of citric acid by Aspergillus niger NG-4. Different metal complexing agents such as potassium ferrocyanide [K4Fe(CN)6] and ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) were also employed for molasses pre-treatment and the concentrations varied from 50-350 ppm. The maximum production of citric acid (36...
