  • Publication number: 20240025756
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a method for producing ?-calcium sulfate hemihydrate whiskers by using fermentation broth for producing lactic acid with a calcium salt method as a raw material and synchronously recovering a lactic acid monomer. The method comprises the following steps: 1) after fermentation of lactic acid is ended, heating fermentation broth; 2) stirring, and adding sulfuric acid for reaction; 3) after the reaction is ended, filtering and collecting a solid part, namely ?-calcium sulfite hemihydrate whiskers, and collecting a liquid part, namely a free lactic acid solution containing the lactic acid monomer; and 4) washing and drying the obtained ?-calcium sulfate hemihydrate whiskers to obtain a ?-calcium sulfate hemihydrate whisker finished product, filtering and concentrating the obtained free lactic acid solution to obtain a lactic acid crude product, and refining the lactic acid crude product to obtain a high-purity lactic acid monomer.

  • Patent number: 11447760
    Abstract: A method of using lactase for generating galactooligosaccharide as well as the preparation and an application of the lactase are provided. Lactase (BglD305 derived from Bacillus circulans B2301 and BglD derived from Bacillus circulans ATCC 31382) molecules from two sources are taken as the basis for molecular evolution, so as to obtain new lactase enzyme molecules with high galactooligosaccharide synthesis efficiency and good expression performance. The high-producing strain lactase is further constructed, the lactase can be efficiently synthesized during the submerged fermentation, and the enzyme molecule is secreted into the culture medium, the high-activity enzyme preparation is directly prepared from the fermentation supernatant, and the lactase expression level can achieve 2208 U/mL. As the result, the fermentation manufacturing cost of lactase is reduced, the fermentation manufacturing process is simplified, and the quality of the lactase preparation is improved.
