Abstract

A process for the production of mannitol from fructose (5% to 25%) using Leuconostoc mesenteroides NRRL B-1149 was investigated. Fermentations were carried out In batch or fed-batch fermentations without aeration at 28$\^{C}$, pH 5.0. When 5% fructose was used In batch culture fermentation, the yield of mannitol was 78% of that expected theoretically. When the frurtose concentration was Increased to 10%, the yield dropped to 59.6% of the theoretical value. However, In the fed-batch culture, using 10% fructose, the yield was 81.9% of the theoretical value. In a 15% fruttose fed-batch culture, with 5% fructose being added initially and the other 10% fructose being added as a continuous supply the final yield was 83.7% of the theoretical yield. When 20% fructose was used In the same manner, the yield was 89.5% of theoretical yield.
