Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for processing starchy raw materials and a method for preparing citric acid. Background technique
[0002] Citric acid is an organic acid widely used in industries such as beverage, food and medicine. At present, citric acid is mainly prepared by fermentation. Generally, the starchy raw material is first pulverized, and the pulverized product is mixed with water to obtain a starch slurry, and the starch slurry is mixed with an enzyme for enzymolysis to obtain an enzymatic hydrolysis product (enzymolysis liquefaction solution) , and inoculate Aspergillus niger into the fermentation broth containing the enzymatic hydrolysis product to ferment to produce citric acid.
[0003] In the above process, the enzymatic hydrolysis (liquefaction) of starchy raw materials has a greater impact on the fermentation cycle of citric acid. The current enzymatic hydrolysis (liquefaction) process of starchy raw materials mostly adopts the...
