4individual colony-forming unit, access mass spectrograph by fermentation tail gas the respiratory quotient (respiratory quotient means with RQ) of aspergillus niger in fermenting process carried out to on-line real time monitoring; The 0th hour RQ that ferment is 0.22, it is that 41 ℃, ventilation are 1: 0.3 that leavening temperature is controlled, to fermentation the 6.6th hour the time RQ reach 0.95 (at the ascent stage of this aspergillus niger respiratory quotient, 30% that in fermented liquid, the amount of dissolved oxygen is calibration value), then RQ starts to descend; Adjusting leavening temperature and be 39 ℃, ventilation is 1: 0.65, to the 14th hour RQ, be 0.2 (in the decline stage of this aspergillus niger respiratory quotient, in fermented liquid, the amount of dissolved oxygen is calibration value 37%), then adjusting leavening temperature and be 38 ℃, ventilation is 1: 0.9, until ferment the 49th hour, RQ maintains between 0.2-0.3 (in the low-level maintenance stage of this aspergillus niger respiratory quotient, 48% that in fermented liquid, the amount of dissolved oxygen is calibration value) substantially; After fermenting the 49th hour, RQ starts from 0.2 rising (rising in 0.62), now improving leavening temperature and be 40.5 ℃, ventilation is to ventilate at 1: 0.6, until fermentation is to the 56th hour fermentation ends (in the rise stage of this aspergillus niger respiratory quotient, 43% that in fermented liquid, the amount of dissolved oxygen is calibration value).
Embodiment 5
The present embodiment is for illustrating the preparation method of citric acid provided by the invention.
According to the method identical with embodiment 2, fermented, different is, control by the following method the cultivation of aspergillus niger: will cultivate tail gas access mass spectrograph in culturing process, online record release of carbonate dioxide speed and oxygen consumption rate, and, in the line computation respiratory quotient, in respiratory quotient, be to maintain 7 hours 0.75 time.
Embodiment 6
The present embodiment is for illustrating the preparation method of citric acid provided by the invention.
According to the method identical with embodiment 2, fermented, different is, control by the following method the cultivation of aspergillus niger: will cultivate tail gas access mass spectrograph in culturing process, online record release of carbonate dioxide speed and oxygen consumption rate, and, in the line computation respiratory quotient, in respiratory quotient, be to maintain 3 hours 1.2 times.
Comparative Examples 1
This Comparative Examples is for illustrating the preparation method of citric acid of prior art.
Method according to embodiment 1 prepares citric acid, different, and the condition of fermentation remains: at 30 ℃, ventilation, be 0.8 volume: the condition bottom fermentation of volume minute finishes fermentation after 68 hours.
Embodiment 7-12
Concentration (abbreviation acidity) according to fermentation secondary fermentation liquid in GB 1987-2007 standard detection embodiment 1-6, and the transformation efficiency of calculating citric acid, the weight of the volume/total reducing sugar of the concentration of transformation efficiency (%)=fermented liquid (abbreviation acidity) * fermented liquid * 100%, result is as shown in table 1.
Comparative Examples 2
Detect acidity and the transformation efficiency of Comparative Examples 1 fermentation secondary fermentation liquid according to the method identical with embodiment 5-8, result is as shown in table 1.
Table 1
From the data of table 1 can find out, the acidity of the citric acid that adopts method fermentation of the present invention to obtain and transformation efficiency are all higher than the citric acid that adopts existing method to obtain, and fermentation period significantly shortens.Explanation thus, method of the present invention judges the physiological status of aspergillus niger by the variation tendency of the respiratory quotient of aspergillus niger in the fermenting process according to producing citric acid, under the different physiological statuss of aspergillus niger, fermentation condition is controlled and adjusted, thereby make growth during the fermentation of aspergillus niger and produce acid phase all in environmental optima, and reach its optimum utility of effective performance, and improved fermentation efficiency and shortened fermentation period.
In addition, with the data of embodiment 7-10, compare, the fermentation efficiency of embodiment 11 and embodiment 12 (acidity and transformation efficiency) is better, this shows, judge the cultivation conditions of aspergillus niger seed according to respiratory quotient, can make aspergillus niger there is higher fermentation efficiency (acidity and transformation efficiency) in follow-up fermenting process, and this method is subject to the impact of human factor very little, the stability that between can keeping batch, aspergillus niger is cultivated.
