Continuous fermentation of soy sauce by immobilized cells of Zygosaccharomyces rouxii in an airlift reactor
1989
Hamada, T. | Ishiyama, T. | Motai, H.
The optimum conditions for continuous alcohol fermentation of soy sauce with immobilized Zygosaccharomyces rouxii cells were investigated using an airlift reactor. The optimum pH and temperature of the fermentation were 4.5 - 5.5 and 25 - 27.5 degrees C, respectively. Ethanol content in the fermented liquid was increased with increasing height to diameter ratio of the reactor and the ratio of air to nitrogen in the supplied gas (total supplied gas: 0.08 vvm). A notable decrease in ethanol content was observed when only nitrogen gas was supplied. The products fermented by supplying air (0.02 vvm) had higher conent of aroma components than that by supplying only nitrogen gas, and the aroma of the former products was similar to that of conventional soy sauce. This alcohol fermentation using an airlift reactor was continued for about 50 days without problems even if conditions such as residence time and aeration were altered.
