Description
Today, organic acids are included in a wide range of uses in various fields including the food industry (food additives, preservatives, acid regulators), pharmaceutics, production of cleaning products and biodegradable polymers.
The demand for lactic acids is determined by their potential use as a monomer for biodegradable polymer (polylactic) production, which may replace synthetic polymers processed from crude oil.Using Lentikats biotechnology provides many unexceptionable benefits and, in particular, the added option of obtaining economical, optically clean, mixtures while reducing costs for renewed biomass.This revolutionary technology provides reduced investment costs and greatly improved production processes for organic acids with increased yields of subsequent organic acids in fermentation and/or biotransformation processes. This allows for higher profitability in organic acid production processes by using input saccharidic substrates.
Immobilization with Lentikats biocatalysts features higher yields of enzymatic activity in immobilzation processes, reduced costs for biocatalyst production and the end product as well as increased mechanical stability and easy seperability. The produced biocatalyst posseses excellent, physio-mechanical properties. These free enzymes provide the advantage of reusability. Implementing Lentikats biotechnology does not require any added investments.
Lentikats technology advantages can be summarized in several fundamental points:
- Improved Return on Investment (higher product yield, dramatic reductions in investment costs)
- Quality and Durability (biocatalyzers are reusable, high stability in production processes)
- Increased Profits (lower production of waste and byproducts)
- Environmentally Friendly Processes (lower production of waste and byproducts)
- Lower Entrepeneurial Risk for Our Clients

F.A.Q.
How can Lentikats biotechnology be utilized in organic acids production processes? Lentikats biotechnology can be applied in organic acid production processes for fermentation of various saccharidic substrates. The organic acid production process involves the fermentation of sugary solutions that work with Lentikats biocatalysts and immobilized producers of organic acids (enzymes, bacteria, yeasts, fibrous fungi).
What is the lifetime of individual types of Lentikats biocatalysts? The lifetime of Lentikats biocatalysts with immobilized producers or enzymes depends upon factors such as microorganisms and the enzymes used in production as well as the given technology.How does Lentikats biotechnology increase yields? Increased yield is understood as a higher percentage of transformed input sugars for organic acids in given saccharidic substrates. The ratio of free and immobilized biomass to fermentation and/or bioconversions fluctuates around (5-10):(95-90). This means that only 5-10% of the overall amount of biomass consumes saccharidic substrates for growth as opposed to for the creation of organic acids.
How does Lentikats biotechnology reduse the production of excess biomass? The ratio of free and immobilized biomass to fermentation fluctuates around (5-10):(95-90). This means that only 5-10% of the overall amount of biomass passes from the system upon the completion of the fermentation process.How are Lentikats biocatalysts contents disposed of? Lentikats biocatalyst contents belong to a group of hydrogel biocatalysts (containing around 80% water). Upon expiration, they are dried and can be incinerated with absolutely no stress or influence on the environment.
