<p>A method for the production of xylitol from an aqueous xylose solution which comprises the steps of fermenting said aqueous xylose solution with a yeast strain capable of converting free xylose to xylitol, and free hexoses present in said solution to ethanol, for a period of time sufficient to produce a fermented solution containing xylitol; and separating one or several xylitol-rich fraction by chromatographic separation from said fermenting solution.</p> |
