Abstract: | Inulin is a readily available feedstock for cost-effective production of biochemicals. To date, several studies have explored the production of bioethanol, high-fructose syrup and fructooligosaccharide, but there are no studies regarding the production of d-lactic acid using inulin as a carbon source. In the present study, chicory-derived inulin was used for d-lactic acid biosynthesis by Lactobacillus bulgaricus CGMCC 1.6970. Compared with separate hydrolysis and fermentation processes, simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) has demonstrated the best performance of d-lactic acid production. Because it prevents fructose inhibition and promotes the complete hydrolysis of inulin, the highest d-lactic acid concentration (123.6 ± 0.9 g/L) with a yield of 97.9 % was obtained from 120 g/L inulin by SSF. Moreover, SSF by L. bulgaricus CGMCC 1.6970 offered another distinct advantage with respect to the higher optical purity of d-lactic acid (>99.9 %) and reduced number of residual sugars. The excellent performance of d-lactic acid production from inulin by SSF represents a high-yield method for d-lactic acid production from non-food grains. |
