Sequential optimization of propionate production using apple pomace was studied. All experiments were performed in a static flask in anaerobic conditions. Effect of apple pomace as nitrogen source against conventional N sources (yeast extract, peptone) was studied. The double increase was observed in propionic acid production while using yeast extract and peptone (0.29 ± 0.01 g/g), as against the use of only apple pomace extract (APE) (0.14 ± 0.01 g/g). Intensification of propionic acid fermentation was also achieved by increasing the pH control frequency of the culture medium from 24-(0.29 ± 0.01 g/g) to 12-hour intervals (30 °C) (0.30 ± 0.02 g/g) and by increasing the temperature of the culture from 30 to 37 °C (12-hour intervals of pH control) (0.32 ± 0.01 g/g). An important factor in improving the parameters of fermentation was the addition of biotin to the medium. The 0.2 mg/L dose of biotin allowed to attain 7.66 g/L propionate with a yield of 0.38 ± 0.03 g/g (12-hour intervals of pH control, 37 °C).
