Description

The method of citric acid is prepared in a kind of fermentation
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of fermentation and prepare the method for citric acid.
Background technology
The fermenting process of tradition citric acid fermentation industry comprises: the pre-treatment of starchy material, starchy material enzymolysis is become to dextrin liquid glucose, and its DE value, in 25 left and right, is prepared fermention medium; Aspergillus niger spore is accessed in seed culture medium, to cultivate to be transferred to after maturation and in fermention medium, carry out fermentation production of citric acid.During the fermentation, the enzyme system synthetic by aspergillus strain self becomes to be applicable to by liquid glucose enzymatic saccharification glucose and the fructose that aspergillus niger directly utilizes, then metabolism synthesizing citric acid, fermentation period is generally about 60 hours, and fermenting acidity stops fermentation and puts tank in 14% left and right.
Tradition citric acid fermentation method utilizes the saccharifying enzyme of Aspergillus niger strain self secretion to carry out the fermentation of saccharification limit, limit.The shortcoming of this method is that Aspergillus Niger Growth arrives a time course of secretion saccharifying enzyme needs, and the pH value of saccharifying enzyme effect is in 4.0-4.6 left and right, and increase along with producing acid, acidity continues to raise, saccharifying enzymic activity is suppressed, and in fermentation, the later stage cannot play normal saccharification, and the later stage aspergillus strain rate of producing acid that causes fermenting is subject to the restriction of saccharification capability, final citric acid output is lower, and in fermented liquid, residual sugar is higher, fermentation period is longer.
For the saccharification in Citric Acid Fermentation, some researchs have been carried out, CN101942487A discloses a kind of method that citric acid is prepared in saccharifying enzyme fermentation of adding, point out in temperature-fall period, to add the saccharifying enzyme of 50-100 enzyme activity unit after fermention medium sterilizing, after cooling to normal inoculation temp, access seed liquor and carry out citric acid fermentation.The method is owing to being to add saccharifying enzyme before inoculation, although envrionment temperature is conducive to saccharification, but the DE value of fermention medium is too high when access Aspergillus niger strain, be unfavorable for the synthetic and effect of Aspergillus niger strain self saccharifying enzyme, be unfavorable for the growth of Aspergillus niger strain; The large usage quantity of saccharifying enzyme, cost is higher; In fermented liquid, residual sugar is higher.
Therefore, for the saccharification in Citric Acid Fermentation, need further to study.
Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is for solve citric acid in prior art synthetic with saccharification to the contradiction between the requirement of pH value, and avoid the higher disadvantageous effect to aspergillus niger self of fermention medium DE value, provide a kind of new fermentation to prepare the method for citric acid.
The present inventor surprisingly finds under study for action, after being seeded to fermention medium, aspergillus niger in fermention medium, adds saccharifying enzyme in 0-8 hour, can accelerate the saccharification of liquid glucose in fermention medium, the later stage citric acid content of avoiding fermenting increases the inhibition to saccharification, and can make the DE value of fermention medium maintain lower level, avoid the disadvantageous effect of high DE value to aspergillus niger self.
Therefore, to achieve these goals, the invention provides a kind of fermentation and prepare the method for citric acid, described method is included under the condition that generates citric acid, citric acid fermentation bacterial classification is seeded in fermention medium and is fermented, obtain fermented liquid, it is characterized in that, described method is also included in the postvaccinal 0-8 of citric acid fermentation bacterial classification hour and adds saccharifying enzyme in introversive described fermention medium.
Preferably, in the postvaccinal 0-6 of citric acid fermentation bacterial classification hour, in described fermention medium, add saccharifying enzyme.
Under preferable case, with respect to the total reducing sugar in described fermention medium, the add-on of described saccharifying enzyme is 20-50 enzyme activity unit/g total reducing sugar, more preferably 30-40 enzyme activity unit/g total reducing sugar.
The method of citric acid is prepared in fermentation provided by the invention, strengthened the saccharification capability in fermenting process, solved during the fermentation citric acid synthetic with saccharification to the contradiction between the requirement of pH value, and avoided the disadvantageous effect of high DE value to aspergillus niger self, thereby make more thorough by saccharification of liquid glucose in fermention medium, reduced the residual sugar amount in fermented liquid, improved terminal citric acid content and single tank for acid amount, improve glucose acid invert ratio, shortened fermentation period.
Other features and advantages of the present invention partly in detail are described the embodiment subsequently.
Embodiment
Below the specific embodiment of the present invention is elaborated.Should be understood that, embodiment described herein only, for description and interpretation the present invention, is not limited to the present invention.
The invention provides a kind of fermentation and prepare the method for citric acid, the method is included under the condition that generates citric acid, citric acid fermentation bacterial classification is seeded in fermention medium and is fermented, obtain fermented liquid, the method is also included in the postvaccinal 0-8 of citric acid fermentation bacterial classification hour and adds saccharifying enzyme in fermention medium.
According to the present invention, although added saccharifying enzyme can realize object of the present invention in fermention medium in the postvaccinal 0-8 of citric acid fermentation bacterial classification hour, reduce the residual sugar amount in fermented liquid, improve glucose acid invert ratio, shorten fermentation period, but under preferable case, in the postvaccinal 0-6 of citric acid fermentation bacterial classification hour, in fermention medium, add saccharifying enzyme, can further reduce the residual sugar amount in fermented liquid, improve glucose acid invert ratio, shorten fermentation period.
In the present invention, in postvaccinal 0 hour of citric acid fermentation bacterial classification, to adding saccharifying enzyme to refer in fermention medium, citric acid fermentation bacterial classification and saccharifying enzyme are added in fermention medium simultaneously.
In the present invention, the concept that 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 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 microorganism strains, products therefrom after cultivation after a while.
