PURIFICATION OF SOYA OLIGOSACCHARIDE BY FERMENTATION / 微生物学通报

ABSTRACT

Selection of utilization of carbon source in soya oligosaccharide by three strains of S.cerevisiae was studied.The results showed that S.cerevisiae C could selectively utilize sucrose and the residual rate of stachyose and raffinose could be more than 96%.Using yeast extract as nitrogen source,the sucrose could be used up after 36 hours of culture.Further study showed that the content of sucrose in soya oligosaccharide powder was less than 1.3% after fermentation of waste water of soy whey and downstream processing.
