L-Lactic acid production from fructose by chitosan film-coated sodium alginate-polyvinyl alcohol immobilized Lactobacillus pentosus cells and its kinetic analysis.

Under the optimal conditions of immobilization and fermentation, the highest LA yield of 0.966 ± 0.006 g/g fructose and production rate of 2.

Optimization of Initial Cation Concentrations for L-Lactic Acid Production from Fructose by Lactobacillus pentosus Cells.

In this study, Box-Behnken design was applied to optimize the initial concentrations of 4 cations for L-lactic acid production from fructose by homologous batch fermentation of Lactobacillus pentosus cells. The optimum initial cation concentrations were obtained as 6.542 mM Mg, 3.
