Abstract
Salt-tolerant aromatic yeast is an important microorganism arising from the solid state fermentation of soy sauce. The fermentation kinetics of volatile esters by Candida etchellsii was studied in a batch system. The data obtained from the fermentation were used for determining the kinetic parameters of the model. Batch experimental results at four NaCl levels (180, 200, 220, and 240 g/L) were used to formulate the parameter estimation model. The kinetic parameters of the model were optimized by specifically designed Runge-Kutta Genetic Algorithms (GA). The resulting mathematical model for volatile ester production, cell growth and glucose consumption simulates the experimental data well. The resulting new model was capable of explaining the behavior of volatile ester fermentation. The optimized parameters (µo, X max, K i, α, β, Y X/S, m, and Y P/S) were characterized by a correlation of functions assuming salinity dependence. The kinetic models optimized by GA describe the batch fermentation process adequately, as demonstrated by our experimental results.
