The invention relates to the field of microbial
fermentation, and particularly discloses a method for producing D-
lactic acid through
fermentation. The method comprises the following step: inoculatinga
fermentation culture medium with at least part of a
carbon source provided by saccharification liquid against
Lactobacillus plantarum with a preservation number of CGMCC No.16835. A production method of the saccharification liquid comprises the steps of mixing a
slurry containing a starchy
raw material and
amylase for spray
liquefaction, then conducting
flash evaporation, cooling and heat preservation, and then mixing
liquefaction liquid and a saccharifying
enzyme for saccharification; the dosage of the saccharification liquid makes a content of carbon in the fermentation culture medium equal to 60-80 g / L; and conditions of
lactic acid fermentation comprise a temperature of 37-45 DEG C, a pH value of 5.3-6.5, the time of 40-60 h, and the rotating speed of stirring of 50-150 rpm, and theinoculation quantity of the
Lactobacillus plantarum makes
Lactobacillus plantarum OD600 in a
lactic acid fermentation system after
inoculation is conducted range from 0.3 to 1. According to the method for producing the D-lactic acid through fermentation, the adopted raw materials have the characters of being wide in source and low in cost, by means of the provided method, production can be conducted in a wide pH value range and a wide temperature range, the
workload of
raw material pre-treatment is reduced, and the method for producing the D-lactic acid through fermentation has the charactersof being high in
sugar utilization rate and conversion rate and short in
production cycle.
