Abstract
The rate of xylitol production from D-xylose increased with increasing yeast cell density. The optimal temperature for xylitol production is 36‡ C, and the optimal pH range is from 4.0 to 6.0. At high initial yeast cell concentration of 26 mg/mL, 210 g/L of xylitol was produced from 260 g/L of D-xylose after 96 h of incubation with an indicated yield of 81% of the theoretical value.Keywords
