Fed-batch fermenters are generally operated with the addition of small doses of nutrients, therefore the volume of the fermentation broth increases with time. Batch fermenters generally contain and almost constant volume of broth and a logistic equation has been commonly employed to simulate microbial growth in them. Mass balances were determined with fed-batch fermentation to obtain expressions which account for the effect of volume increase and the subsequent dilution of the biomass. A growth rate expression was obtained for fed-batch fermentations. The new expression was very similar to the logistic equation. Therefore an anology between the values of the parameters of the new model and of the logistic equation was sought. The new model was also employed to simulate six sets of data from the literature and satisfactory results were obtained.

Distillers' dried grains with solubles (DDGS) and its potential as fermentation feedstock
Iram, Attia; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz; Demirci, Ali (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-07-01)
Distillers' dried grain with solubles (DDGS) is a byproduct of bioethanol fermentation, which uses the dry milling technology for starch-rich grains such as corn, wheat, and barley. The current interest in bioethanol is increasing due to the need for renewable liquid fuels specifically in the transportation sector. Since DDGS is rich in crude protein, fat, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, it is currently used as aquaculture, livestock, and poultry feeds. In recent years, DDGS has been used as feedstock in the...
Activity-loss kinetics of freeze-dried lactic acid starter cultures
Alaeddinoğlu, G.; Güven, Abamuesluem; Özilgen, Mustafa (Elsevier BV, 1989-11)
Lactic acid starter cultures were freeze-dried in whey and nonfat skim milk (NFSM) suspending media with varying amounts of glycerol, adonitol, and sucrose as the additives. Generally additives had different cryoprotective effects in NFSM and whey media. There was also an optimum cryoprotective additive concentration where viability and activity were protected best. The best results were obtained with freeze-dried L. bulgaricus with 0.29 m sucrose, 0.75 m adonitol, or 0.75 m glycerol in whey medium. Similar...
KINETICS OF MICROBIAL-GROWTH, GAS-PRODUCTION, AND DOUGH VOLUME INCREASE DURING LEAVENING
AKDOGAN, H; OZILGEN, M (Elsevier BV, 1992-02-01)
Microbial growth, gas production, and volume increase were studied experimentally at 10-degrees-C, 15-degrees-C, 20-degrees-C, 25-degrees-C, and 30-degrees-C in a sourdough production process. Microbial growth was simulated with the logistic equation. Gas production and dough volume increase rates were simulated with the Luede-king-Piret and saturation equations, respectively. In a leavening process, carbon dioxide is produced by the Bakers' yeast and entrapped into the gas cells formed by the gluten fil...
KINETICS OF SPONTANEOUS WINE PRODUCTION
OZILGEN, M; CELIK, M; BOZOGLU, F (Elsevier BV, 1991-03-01)
Substrate consumption, ethanol production, microbial growth, and temperature increase in a fermentation vessel are metabolically interrelated biological phenomena. In spontaneous wine fermentations, mixed cultures of various microbial species are involved in the fermentation process. Due to the continuously changing species contributing to the microbial population, these metabolically interrelated parameters are treated separately in the enology literature. In the present study, mathematical models are pres...
SURVIVAL KINETICS OF LACTIC-ACID STARTER CULTURES DURING AND AFTER FREEZE-DRYING
BOZOGLU, F; OZILGEN, M; BAKIR, U (Elsevier BV, 1987-09-01)
Survival kinetics of lactic acid starter cultures were modeled considering the microorganism and external medium interfacial area as the critical factors determining the resistance of the microorganisms to freeze-drying. Surviving fraction of the microorganisms increased with the increasing biomass concentration during freeze-drying, and this is attributed to the mutual shielding effect of the microorganisms against the severe conditions of the external medium. Survival of the microorganisms over the storag...
