Various fermentation conditions

Mid-IR has also been demonstrated for real-time concentration monitoring of a fermentation using a standard transmission cell, and the spectral response was similar, regardless of whether the broth was filtered or not.38 A PLS regression was used to perform quantitation of the substrate, the lactic acid bacterium, and the major metabolites. In another article describing quantitative mid-IR for fermentation studies, a model system was investigated under various fermentation conditions.39 The mid-IR provided insight into the relative concentrations of carbohydrates, nucleic acids, proteins and lipids in the host cells. Mid-IR has also been demonstrated for multi-component quantitation... 

Characterization of Xanthan—Protein Complexes Obtained with Various Fermentation Conditions... 

The rheological behavior of xanthan samples obtained in various fermentation conditions with dilute or concentrated polymer solutions in the presence of proteins has been investigated. 

Aldol and -Michael reactions can also proceed on the reaction products of retro-Aldol and -Michael reactions. The reverse (direct) Aldol and Michael reaction can also proceed on various intermediates. Hence, these few reactions can already form a very large variety of possible products. They, indeed, account for most of the reactivity of carbohydrates discussed below, being under pyrolysis, hydrolysis or fermentation conditions. 

To date, although many studies have been conducted on microbial population dynamics with different grape varieties and fermentation conditions, very few of these have been strictly related to Vin Santo. Despite this, various studies regarding the alcoholic fermentation of other Italian passito wines, which have similar production characteristics to those of Vin Santo, have been produced, contributing to the understanding of some important microbial aspects of this particular production process. 

Lactic acid is a major end product from fermentation of a carbohydrate by lactic acid bacteria (Tormo and Izco, 2004). However, lactic acid can be produced commercially by either chemical synthesis or fermentation. The chemical synthesis results in a racemic mixture of the two isomers whereas during fermentation an optically pure form of lactic acid is produced. However, this may depend on the microorganisms, fermentation substrates, and fermentation conditions. Lactic acid can be produced from renewable materials by various species of the fungus Rhizopus. This has many advantages as opposed to bacterial production because of amylolytic characteristics, low nutrient requirements, and the fungal biomass, which is a valuable fermentation by-product (Zhan, Jin, and Kelly, 2007). 

In the future, novel developments of liquid membranes for biochemical processes should arise. There are several opportunities in the area of fermentation or cell culture, for the in situ recovery of inhibitory products, for example. Another exciting research direction is the use of liquid membrane for enzyme encapsulation so that enzymatic reaction and separation can be combined in a single step. Chapter 6 by Simmons ial- (49) is devoted to this technique. The elucidation of fundamental mechanisms behind the liquid membrane stability is essential, and models should be developed for the leakage rate in various flow conditions. Such models will be useful to address the effect of parameters such as flow regime, agitation rate, and microdroplet volume... 

The quality and quantity of chitosan extracted from the fungal mycelia (Tables 4 and 5) depend on the fungal strain Absidia, Gongronells, Rhizopus, etc. fermentation type SSF and SMF (batch fermentation, fed batch fermentation and continuous fermentation) fermentation medium composition carbon source and concentration, nitrogen source and concentration, and metal ions and their concentration pH of the fermentation medium fermentation conditions inoculum size, harvesting time, fermentation temperature, inlet air flow rate and chitosan extraction procedure [5, 7, 8, 50, 54, 58, 61]. Chitosans obtained from different species of fungi have been tested in various applications (Table 6). 

Industrially, fermentation is carried out using carefully selected microorgauisms appropriate to the substrate under precisely specified conditions. There are various fermentation products including alcohol, glycerol, butyl alcohol, acetone, as well as lactic, acetic, citric, gluconic, and glutamic acids, many of which are also important in food flavorings [35]. 

Wine research and wine yeast strain development are certainly well placed to benefit from the privileged place that S. cerevisiae occupies in the life sciences. Figure 9.14 summarises several targets of strain development programmes. These targets are normally, but not exclusively, focussed on the natural metabolites that various strains of S. cerevisiae produce under different fermentation conditions (Figure 9.15). The following includes some examples that demonstrate this.
