  • Patent number: 9353387
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of a dicarboxylic acid and ethanol which comprises fermenting a genetically modified yeast in a suitable fermentation medium under anaerobic conditions at a pH value of between 1 and 5 and producing the dicarboxylic acid and ethanol. The invention also relates to a process for crystallizing succinic acid from an aqueous solution having a pH of between 1 and 5 and comprising succinic acid, comprising removing part of the aqueous solution by evaporation to obtain a concentrated solution, and bringing the temperature of the concentrated solution to a value of between 10 and 30 degrees Celsius, wherein succinic acid crystals are formed.

  • Patent number: 9340805
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of a dicarboxylic acid. The process comprises fermenting a yeast in the presence of a carbohydrate-containing substrate and low amounts of oxygen at a pH value at which at least 50% of the dicarboxylic acid is in the acid form. The process of the present invention allows for high yields of the dicarboxylic acid product and is more cost-effective than existing processes in which the salt is produced which during recovery has to be converted to the acid. It also leads to a simpler and more convenient downstream processing.
