Abstract

An unstructured mathematical model for lactic acid fermentation was developed. This model was able to predict the inhibition effects of lactic acid and glucose and was confirmed to be valid with various initial concentrations of lactic acid and glucose. Simulation of energy production was made using this mathematical model, and the relationship between the kinetics of energy metabolism and lactic acid production was also analyzed.
