BIOCONVERSION PRODUCTION OF ASCORBIC ACID

摘要

Processes for the bioconversion production of L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) using microorganisms (e.g. Candida Norvegensis MF-56, ATCC 20686, Candida Norvegensis MF-78, ATC 20732) and Candida utilus, NRRL Y-900). Also described are bioconversion media which are specifically adapted for such bioconversion. Methods for immobilizing microorganisms or the enzyme L-galactono-1,4-oxidase on a matrix such as sodium alginate are also disclosed.
