Publisher:

Committee on Biotechnology PAS ; Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry PAS

Type of object:

Journal/Article

Abstract:

This article reviews the current concepts in microbial production of xylitol with pure D-xyloseor processed lignocellulosic materials as substrates by yeast strains such as Candida tropicals,C. guilliermondii and Debaromyces hansenit The importance of xylitol as sugar substitute andcoating agent in the production and preparation of food and pharmaceutical products waspresented. In addition, the metabolism of D-xylose to xylitol, physiology of the yeast strains andbiotechnological parameters affecting the formation of xylitol were discussed.
