Summary of the invention
The object of this invention is to provide a kind of production method that can effectively improve the citric acid of citric acid production capacity.
The present inventor finds through research, the lower reason of fermentation of Aspergillus niger method integrated artistic production capacity is that the utilization ratio of aspergillus niger is not high at present, the fermenting process of aspergillus niger roughly can be divided into three phases, the one, earlier fermentation, it is mainly the growth phase of aspergillus niger, thalline produces saccharifying enzyme simultaneously, saccharifying enzyme is converted into the utilizable glucose of aspergillus niger by the polysaccharide in raw material, glucose is through a series of pathways metabolisms, by conversion of glucose, be citric acid, because sugar has been synthesized organic acid by aspergillus niger utilization, make the decline of pH value enter lord ferment period; The 2nd, lord ferment period, produces acid phase, and in this stage, citric acid accumulates in a large number; The 3rd, the fermentation later stage, i.e. in the self-dissolving stage, along with exhausting of nutrient, tropina enzyme comes to life, and causes pH value in rising trend again, and now thalline is tending towards self-dissolving and Metabolic activity termination.In whole fermenting process, enter after subordinate phase, because pH value declines, the activity of saccharifying enzyme is suppressed, and causes in lord ferment period process, and part aspergillus niger does not have enough glucose to transform, and has caused the significant wastage of bioenergy and equipment.
The invention provides a kind of production method of citric acid, the method is included under the condition that generates citric acid, aspergillus niger is seeded in fermention medium and is fermented, obtain fermented liquid, it is characterized in that, the method also comprises to adding the monose with 6 carbon atoms in fermented liquid, the time of adding the monose with 6 carbon atoms after aspergillus niger is inoculated into fermention medium 24 hours to time period of 5 hours before having fermented.
The present invention is by adding monose, take full advantage of the transformation function of aspergillus niger, do not changing under the prerequisite of the energy consumptions such as equipment and reaction conditions, obtained higher citric acid production capacity, in embodiment 1 and comparative example 2, use the equipment of same 300L model, the starchy material of the same weight of fermenting, embodiment 1 can obtain 45.69 kilograms of citric acids, and comparative example 2 only obtains 33.32 kilograms of citric acids.As can be seen here, compared to existing technology, the present invention has improved the utilization ratio of integral device, and then has improved the production capacity of integrated artistic.
Embodiment
The invention provides a kind of production method of citric acid, the method is included under the condition that generates citric acid, aspergillus niger is seeded in fermention medium and is fermented, obtain fermented liquid, it is characterized in that, the method also comprises to adding the monose with 6 carbon atoms in fermented liquid, the time of adding the monose with 6 carbon atoms after aspergillus niger is seeded to fermention medium 24 hours to time period of 5 hours before having fermented.
Wherein, the concept that described fermention medium is known to the skilled person, refer to the nutriment with the artificial preparation maintaining for microorganism growth that microorganism fermentation is required, generally all contain carbohydrate, nitrogenous substances, inorganic salt (comprising trace element) and VITAMIN and water etc.The concept that described fermented liquid is also known to the skilled person, refers to an access the liquid nutrient medium (this liquid nutrient medium is also alleged fermention medium in the present invention) of microbial strains, products therefrom after cultivation after a while.
According to the present invention, the addition of described monose can change in a big way, consider the transformation function that should make full use of aspergillus niger, again in conjunction with cost factor, under preferable case, the weight ratio of the addition of described monose and fermented liquid total amount is 1: 8-100, more preferably 1: 10-50, most preferably is 1: 13-28.
Adding monose is in order to make full use of the transformation function of aspergillus niger, the time point adding is very crucial, too early interpolation has caused the reduction of transformation efficiency on the contrary, comparative example 1 of the present invention was just being added monose before aspergillus niger is inoculated into fermention medium in fermented liquid, in comparative example 1, the transformation efficiency of citric acid is only 92.5%, also lower than the transformation efficiency 93.31% that does not add citric acid in the comparative example 2 of monose.Trace it to its cause and may have two aspects, the first, in comparative example 1, carbon source is too much, causes monose to be converted into the speed of citric acid too fast, and the speed that pH value reduces is also too fast, causes the not enough and thalline early ageing of thalli growth; The second, in comparative example 1, added monose, at the high foam of fermentation, during the phase, easily produce flash phenomenon, thereby cause the loss of raw material.And the interpolation in evening excessively, aspergillus niger is to the phase of decaying of growth, and the function that monose is converted into citric acid dies down, even if add monose, is also difficult to obtain good effect.
Therefore, the time that preferably starts to add the monose with 6 carbon atoms is for being seeded to aspergillus niger 24-56 hour after fermention medium, 40-50 hour more preferably, the time that preferably finishes to add the monose with 6 carbon atoms is for being seeded to aspergillus niger 60-70 hour after fermention medium, like this can be in the situation that not changing equipment and operating condition, improve the production capacity of citric acid, thereby improve the utilization ratio of integral device.
