Fermentation process for preparing erythritol by a high salt tolerant mutant of Candida sp.

摘要

A fermentation process for preparing a high yield erythritol using a salt tolerant mutant of Candida sp. Candida magnoliae SR101:KCCM-10160. More specifically, the present invention relates to a process for preparing erythritol under optimal fermentation conditions for maximal erythritol production by optimizing the environmental conditions of culture, including medium component, pH, temperature, aeration rate and agitation speed.
