PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF CRYSTALLINE XYLITOL USING PICHIA CARIBBICA AND ITS APPLICATION FOR QUORUM SENSING INHIBITION

摘要

The inventors disclose a novel room temperature process for the synthesis of crystalline xylitol with high yield and purity from D-xylose using Pichia caribbica yeasts that acts as a quorum sensing antagonist that prevents bio film formation by gram-negative bacteria. Further a mild and safe procedure for xylitol extraction is disclosed.
