FERMENTATION PROCESSES

摘要

The present invention provides a method for the production of at least one of a fermentation product and a derivate thereof comprising the steps of: a. providing a fermentable aqueous solution comprising at least one fermentable compound and at least one impurity; b. selectively extracting the at least one impurity from at least a portion of the fermentable aqueous solution by means of an extractant to form an impurity-depleted fermentable solution comprising a fermentable compound and to form an impurity-comprising extract; and c. fermenting the fermentable compound of the impurity-depleted fermentable solution to form a fermentation broth comprising a fermentation product wherein the extractant comprises at least one of the fermentation product and a derivate thereof.
