AI Article Synopsis
- The study focused on producing xylitol through batch fermentation using a specific yeast called Candida guilliermondii and wheat straw hemicellulose hydrolysate in a stirred tank reactor.
- After 54 hours, the process successfully converted 30.5 g of xylose per liter into 27.5 g of xylitol per liter.
- This resulted in a high conversion yield of 0.9 grams of xylitol for every gram of xylose and a productivity rate of 0.5 grams of xylitol per liter per hour.
Article Abstract
Batch production of xylitol from the hydrolysate of wheat straw hemicellulose using Candida guilliermondii was carried out in a stirred tank reactor (agitation speed of 300 rpm, aeration rate of 0.6 vvm and initial cell concentration of 0.5 g l(-1)). After 54 h, xylitol production from 30.5 g xylose l(-1) reached 27.5 g l(-1), resulting in a xylose-to-xylitol bioconversion yield of 0.9 g g(-1) and a productivity of 0.5 g l(-1) h(-1).
