Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, when cassava is used as a raw material for citric acid production, due to its low protein content, nitrogen sources need to be supplemented during the fermentation process, and there are more colloidal substances in cassava, and the fermented liquid is viscous and poorly dissolved in oxygen.
In short, compared with the corn fermentation process, the current cassava fermentation process has problems such as low concentration of fermentation substrate, low conversion rate, and long fermentation cycle, which lead to problems such as high fermentation grain consumption, energy consumption, fermentation index, and low fermentation yield. At the same time, it also has a certain impact on the downstream extraction
Moreover, in the traditional cassava fermentation process, the raw materials are decomposed and saccharified by the enzymes secreted by the bacteria itself. Due to the insufficient enzyme activity of the bacteria itself and the unsuitable saccharification conditions, the saccharification is not complete and the residual sugar in the fermentation is high.
[0006] Patent application number 200910233468.4 "a method for producing citric acid by cassava slag removal fermentation" and patent application number 201010249932.1 "a method for producing citric acid by mixing fermented raw materials" respectively disclose the use of cassava as a raw material for citric acid production and the use of The process of producing citric acid by mixed fermentation of corn and cassava, the former uses corn or bean cake powder with limited sources as the organic nitrogen source, while the latter only uses corn as the organic nitrogen source, and the two basically add corn as the fermentation raw material, without Fundamentally avoid the problem of corn consumption

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing citric acid through fermentation, in particular to a method for producing citric acid through complete cassava fermentation, which comprises work procedures of pulverization, size mixing, liquefaction, filtration and fermentation. Before the fermentation, acid compound enzyme is adopted for saccharifying raw materials; and during the fermentation, protein slag or protein meal is adopted as a nitrogen source. The protein slag or protein meal is added for supplementing the fermentation nitrogen source, the goal of complete non-grain fermentation is reached, the defect of poor oxygen dissolution effect in the fermentation process caused by too high cassava high-sugar fermentation material concentration can also be overcome through the addition of a filtration process, simultaneously, the residue carbon sources in the protein slag or the protein meal are utilized, the integral utilization of raw materials is realized, and the fermentation grain consumption is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for producing citric acid by fermentation, in particular to a method for producing citric acid by fermentation of whole cassava. Background technique [0002] At present, the domestic citric acid industry mainly uses corn, dried melon, and cassava as raw materials to ferment and produce citric acid, of which corn accounts for about 95%. , directly crushed into corn flour, mixed with water according to a certain proportion, under the action of amylase, after high-temperature liquefaction treatment, it becomes a liquefied liquid with good fluidity and easy to be used by bacteria, and enters the fermentation process. During the fermentation process, through black Aspergillus species metabolize and accumulate citric acid, and after the fermentation is completed, the fermentation broth containing citric acid is extracted and refined downstream to obtain citric acid products. Corn dregs and mycelium dregs are produced as by...
