Abstract
High fructose recovery yields were obtained using sugarcane syrup and C-molasses (equal to blackstrap molasses) and a fructokinase negative mutant ofZymomonas mobilis. The fructose recovery was 95.7% with sugarcane syrup and 99.4% with 300 g/L C-molasses or mixtures of both. High fructose corn syrup of a 48/52 mixture of glucose and fructose gave only a 65–70% fructose recovery due to high sorbitol formation.
