An Integrated Biotechnological Process for Production of Lactic Acid from Carbohydrate-Waste Streams by Rhizopus sp

乳酸是存在最广泛的多功能有机酸。它在食品和食品相关工业中有着巨大的应用，并在生产可生物降解和生物相容的聚乳酸聚合物方面具有巨大的潜力。本研究的目的是开发一种创新的生物技术工艺，将同时糖化和发酵结合在一起，将乳酸的生产与高强度食品工业废水的处理结合在一起。溪流-碳水化合物废物溪流。建议的SSF工艺将在废流中培养出一株已鉴定的根霉菌株作为生产基质，为食品行业带来一种环保和经济可持续的新技术。

Lactic acid is the most widely occurring multifunctional organic acid. It has enormous applications in food and food-related industries, and great potential use for production of biodegradable and biocompatible polylactate polymers. The aim of this research is to develop an innovative biotechnological process, incorporating simultaneous saccharification and fermentation, which integrates the production of lactic acid with the treatment of high strength food industry ?effluent? streams - carbohydrate waste streams. The proposed SSF process will cultivate an identified fungal Rhizopus sp strain on the waste streams, as production substrates, leading to an environmentally friendly and economically sustainable new technology for the food industry.
