Citric acid production from glucose syrups

Figure 20 shows a schematic of a novel membrane-integrated process for citric acid production from glucose syrups by Yarrowia lypolitica ATCC 20346, based on prolonged fed-batch fermentation carried out in a stirred bioreactor coupled to a MF unit equipped with tubular ceramic membranes, and disodium citrate recovery from MF permeates by ED (Moresi, 1995).
