Optimization of erythritol production through fermentation using molasses as carbon source.

ABSTRACT: Erythritol is a beneficial sugar alcohol that can be used as a sugar substitute for diabetic patients. Erythritol is a bioproduct produced by microorganisms as a response to high osmotic pressure and stress in the growth medium. High concentrations of carbon source substrate can increase the osmotic pressure and provide more nutrient supply for yeast growth and metabolism. Aside from that, an optimal carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio can also make the erythritol conversion pathway more favorable. Therefore, this research aims to determine the optimal concentrations of molasses as the carbon source, yeast extract as the nitrogen source, and the optimal carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio to achieve the highest erythritol productivity. The research also seeks to optimize NaCl concentrations and pH w
