Citric Acid Production by the Fermentation of Molasses

Kampf, H.  1982.  In 1917, Currie reported for the first time the fermentation of citric acid by means of the mold, Aspergillus niger. Modern fermentation processes are economic and require only roughly three tones of molasses for the production of one tonne of citric acid. There are two different, well established fermentation processes for the production of citric acid, that is, surface and submerge fermentation. Citric Acid Production by the Fermentation of Molasses.
