One of the most important considerations in designing an integrated process for the production of organic acids is the strong pH dependence of the process parameters. The release of the acidic products during the fermentation alters the pH of the broth and subsequently affects the kinetics of cell growth and product formation. In addition, some parameters (such as the distribution coefficient o...

Previous studies reported that the use of Metschnikowia pulcherrima in sequential culture fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae mainly induced a reduction of volatile acidity in wine. The impact of the presence of this yeast on the metabolic pathway involved in pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) bypass and glycerol production in S. cerevisiae has never been investigated. In this work, we compare...

Studies on Co-Culture fermentation of tapioca flour as the substrate symbiotic strains of starch digesting Aspergillus niger and non starch digesting and sugar fermenting Saccharomyces Cerevisaie in a batch fermentation. The effect of Carbon to Nitrogen (C/N) ratio of the fermentation medium on ethanol concentration and biomass was investigated. The optimum C/N ratio of the fermentation medium ...

An experiment was conducted to examine changes in VFA and ammonia concentrations at different time points using 4 fermentable carbohydrate-rich feed ingredients as substrates and feces of unweaned piglets as inoculum. Fecal inoculum was collected, pooled, and mixed from 9 specially raised (no creep feed or antibiotics) crossbred piglets at 3 wk of age. Inulin, lactulose, molasses-free sugar bee...

In this study, the effects of fermentation kinetics, determination number lactic acid bacteria, texture, water holding capacity, and color fermented soy beverages with acai powder (3 6% w/v) were investigated. The addition significantly influenced kinetics based on changes in pH, accelerating initial period. results showed that additive did not affect enumeration Lactobacillus acidophilus Bifid...

the potential of bulk starter fermentation strategy for production of a cost-effective and safe source of β-galactosidase was investigated. three different bulk starter media with different compositions were selected, and an industrial yogurt starter culture strain, l. bulgaricus dsm 20081 was cultivated in these media under ph-controlled conditions (ph=5.6) at 43°c. the media consisted of 1) b...

Effects of sucrose (Suc) concentration on fermentation kinetics and products were evaluated using 3 concentrations of Suc, with 1 concentration of isolated NDF from Bermudagrass fermented together in batch culture in vitro with rumen inoculum. Fixed amounts of medium and inoculum were the protein sources, so protein:Suc decreased with increasing Suc. Kinetics were calculated from gas production...
