Antifoam (defoamer) chemicals are a crucial part of many commercial fermentation processes. Reviewed are the types of defoamers and their mode of operation. Also presented is a simple model, which simulates foam growth as functions of defoamer concentration, air hold-up, reactor volume and air flow rate. Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology (2002) 29, 149–154 doi:10.1038/sj.jim
The fermentation technique was used long before humankind discovered, or understood, microbes, and it was adopted mainly for the production of drinks containing the same active compound: ethanol. Nowadays fermentation is a developed technology used in many sectors, such as food, pharmaceutical, biofuel, and biopolymer production (Fig. 15.1).
A Fermentor is a device used to accomplish the fermentation process by using microorganisms, and for this reason, it is also called “Biofermentor or Bioreactor“.It is equipped with all the elements that are necessary to carry out the commercial production of substances like antibiotics, enzymes, beverages etc. in many industries.
Microbial Biosynthesis: A Repertory of Vital Natural Products. Shadia M. Abdel-Aziz, Amany A.H. Anise, in Food Biosynthesis, 2017 6 Industrial Microbiology. Industrial Microbiology is a branch of applied microbiology in which microorganisms are used for the production of important substances, such as antibiotics, food products, enzymes, amino acids, vaccines, and fine chemicals.
Several fermentation products are important commercially outside of the food industry. For example, chemical solvents such as acetone and butanol are produced during acetone-butanol-ethanol fermentation. Complex organic pharmaceutical compounds used in antibiotics (e.g., penicillin), vaccines, and vitamins are produced through mixed acid
Apr 19, 2023 · Fermentation can be used both directly on foods to improve nutrition, taste or texture 17,18, as well as used as a production platform to produce value-added ingredients in the food industry 19,20,21.
Jan 16, 2019 · This review focuses on the considerable amount of research that has been directed towards the improvement of efficiency and reliability of malolactic fermentation (MLF), which is important in winemaking. From this large body of work, it is clear that reliable MLF is essential for process efficiency and prevention of spoilage in the final product. Impediments to successful MLF in wine, the
Jan 1, 2015 · Fermentation processes can be classified by the reaction mechanims involved in converting the raw materials into products; these include reductions, simple and complex oxidations, substrate conversions, transformations, hydrolyses, polymerizations, complex biosyntheses, and the formation of cells.

Aug 11, 2023 · Fermentation optimization: Fermentation processes can be optimized to maximize the production of secondary metabolites. This includes optimizing the culture conditions such as temperature, pH, oxygen levels, and nutrient availability. Additionally, fed-batch or continuous fermentation strategies can be employed to enhance productivity.
Jun 1, 2018 · Scale-up of large industrial processes is preferably done in two stages if there is a high degree of novelty in the process and/or the commercial product. The first stage is a pilot plant (pilot scale) with 100–10,000 L fermentors and matched downstream equipment.
