Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Mathiazhakan Kuttiraja"
- Mathiazhakan Kuttiraja's research primarily focuses on optimizing lipid production from the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica SKY7, leveraging various substrates, including crude glycerol, while examining the impacts of process variables like pH, glycerol concentration, and carbon/nitrogen ratios.
- Significant findings indicate that controlled pH environments enhance lipid and citric acid production in batch cultures, and that specific glycerol concentrations and C/N ratios contribute to higher lipid yields in lab-scale fermenters.
- Additionally, Kuttiraja's work explores innovative extraction methods, such as detergent-assisted lipid extraction, applying response surface methodology for optimizing extraction efficiency from wet yeast biomass, highlighting practical advancements for biodiesel production.
