Abstract
Description
Method for fermenting lactic acid with sucrose as main carbon source TECHNICAL FIELD The present application relates to a method for fermenting lactic acid with sucrose as main carbon source. BACKGROUND Lactic acid is prepared by fermentation method with glucose, starch or milk as raw material, and through microbial fermentation (lactic acid bacteria, filamentous fungi, etc.). There are many microorganisms in nature that can produce L-lactic acid, but only some species of Rhizopus in molds, Lactobacillus, Streptococcus and Bacillus can be applied to industry. However, bacteria have complex nutritional requirements, such as amino acids, vitamins and inorganic salts, etc., while the nutritional requirements of Rhizopus are relatively simple, only inorganic nitrogen and a small amount of other inorganic salts are needed. At present, the raw materials used for lactic acid fermentation by Rhizopus are mainly glucose or starchy raw materials. For example, in the Chinese patent application No. 200710170658.7 entitled "Continuous production method of L-ammonium lactate based on Rhizopus", a continuous production method of L-ammonium lactate based on Rhizopus is disclosed, which comprises the following steps: (1) Seed culture: spores of any one of Rhizopus are inoculated into seed culture medium for aerobic liquid culture, and the components of the seed culture medium include carbon source, nitrogen source, inorganic salt and water. In the seed culture medium, the concentration of phosphate is 0.8-1.2 g / L; (2) The product obtained in step (1) is inoculated into fermentation medium for aerobic liquid fermentation culture, and ammonia water or ammonia gas is added during the culture to control the pH of the culture system to 5-8, then the feeding medium is added, and the fermentation product is obtained, and then the target product ammonium lactate is collected from the fermentation product. The fermentation medium uses liquefied starch, ammonium sulfate, KH2PO4, MgSO4·7H2O and ZnSO4·7H2O. With the continuous rise in the price of glucose or starchy raw materials, the production cost of L-lactic acid is high, and the cost of related products is also increasing. Although there are some studies on L-lactic acid fermentation using crude raw materials in China, the yield of L-lactic acid is very low, and the price of the produced L-lactic acid does not have market competitiveness. Based on the above problems, the applicant has studied the above problems and produced the present case. TECHNICAL PROBLEM The purpose of the present application is to provide a method for fermenting lactic acid with sucrose as main carbon source, which can reduce cost, is convenient to obtain materials and has high lactic acid yield. TECHNICAL SOLUTION In order to achieve the above object, the present application adopts the following technical solutions: A method for fermenting lactic acid with sucrose as a main carbon source, comprising a seed culture step and a fermentation culture step,

As a preferred mode of the present application, the biochar is obtained by pyrolysis of bagasse or peanut shell in a reaction furnace, the pyrolysis temperature is 300-500℃, the pyrolysis time is 30-60 min, and the particle size of the biochar is 2mm-4mm. As a preferred mode of the present application, the Rhizopus oryzae is Rhizopus oryzae CICC 3038. As a preferred mode of the present application, the seed liquid is inoculated into the fermentation culture medium at a mass percentage of 8-12%. As a preferred mode of the present application, the fermentation culture has a culture time of 68-72h, the temperature is controlled at 28-30℃ in 0-28h, and then the temperature is controlled at 30-32℃, the culture is stirred at a speed of 200rpm-400rpm, the volume fraction of dissolved oxygen in the fermentation culture medium is controlled at 30%-60%, and the PH is controlled at 5.0-6.0 by using ammonia water. As a preferred mode of the present application, the nitrogen source is one of urea and ammonium sulfate or a mixture of the two. As a preferred mode of the present application, the initial concentration of sucrose in the fermentation culture medium is 50g / L, and the remaining sucrose is divided into two parts, which are added at 29-32h and 48-52h after the start of fermentation, respectively. Advantages After the technical scheme of the present application is adopted, the Rhizopus has strong fermentation sucrose acid production capacity with sucrose as the main carbon source. The sucrose yield is large and the source is sufficient; it is safe and non-toxic, and is a renewable resource. The use of sucrose fermentation to produce lactic acid can reduce the production cost of lactic acid, expand the application field of lactic acid, on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can make full use of natural resources, effectively improve the economic benefit of sugar factory, and develop sugar industry faster and better. The addition of FeSO4·7H2O in the fermentation medium increases the reducing power of the fermentation system, helps the electron system transmission, and promotes the biological catalytic reaction of sugar-pyruvic acid-lactic acid. The addition of biochar in the fermentation medium has a certain promoting effect on the material conversion in the microbial fermentation process, can become the growth carrier of Rhizopus oryzae, stabilize the growth density of Rhizopus oryzae in the fermentation system, and promote the smooth progress of biological catalytic reaction.
