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

乳酸是最广泛存在的多官能有机酸。它在食品和食品相关工业中具有巨大的应用，并且在生产可生物降解和生物相容性的聚乳酸聚合物方面具有巨大的潜在用途。本研究的目的是开发一种创新的生物技术过程，结合同步糖化和发酵，它集成了乳酸的生产与高强度食品工业的治疗？流出物？流-碳水化合物废物流。 拟议的SSF工艺将在废物流中培养一种经鉴定的真菌根霉属菌株，作为生产基质，为食品工业带来一种环境友好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.
