The invention relates to the technical field of microbial
fermentation, and particularly discloses high-whiteness fermented
sodium propionate and a preparation method thereof.The preparation method of the high-whiteness fermented
sodium propionate comprises the steps that a
propionibacterium seed solution is inoculated into a
fermentation culture medium for anaerobic
fermentation, stirring and uniform mixing are conducted, liquid caustic soda is added in a fed-batch mode to maintain the fermentation pH to 6.5-7.0, and after fermentation culture, the high-whiteness fermented
sodium propionate is obtained. Adding modified
bentonite, heating and stirring to obtain
sodium propionate fermentation liquor; sequentially filtering the
sodium propionate fermentation liquor through a
ceramic membrane and an
ultrafiltration membrane, evaporating and concentrating, adding acid to adjust the pH value, and spray-
drying to obtain the high-whiteness fermented
sodium propionate, the obtained high-whiteness fermented sodium propionate product is high in whiteness, high in light
transmittance, high in yield and excellent in comprehensive performance, meets the
national standard requirements of
food safety, and has a wide market prospect.
