DETAILED RESEARCH AREA
"Studies on Production of Itaconic acid Through Submerged process Using
Aspergillus Species "
Itaconic acid is commercially produced by the cultivation of Aspergillus Terrus with
different carbon sources. Molasses is one of the best carbon source among various
carbohydrates, because it is pure, inexpensive and available in a mass supply. The
reaction was carried out at various molasses concentrations, temperatures, incubation
time intervals, agitation speeds and pH. The present study reveals that the maximum
itaconic acid was produced at 35oC , molasses concentration of 10%, agitation speed
of 200rpm, 3.5pH and incubation time 120 hrs with a yield of 0.4976 g/l, specific
growth rate of 0.04199 hr -1 and maximum doubling time of 14.84 hrs, also the
maximum itaconic acid concentration was obtained for 0.5 cm3 and doubled the
concentration after 14 days with immobilized mycelium than free mycelium.
