FERMENTATION PROCESS USING FABA BEANS AS NOTROGEN SOURCE

摘要

The present invention describes a microbial fermentation process using a fermentation medium comprising a complex nitrogen source, wherein a substantial part of the nitrogen (N) that is supplied by the complex nitrogen source is provided by faba bean meal. The use of faba bean meal has a viscosity lowering effect as compared to the use of a complex nitrogen source other than faba bean meal.
