DETAILED RESEARCH AREA

"Studies on Production of Itaconic acid Through Submerged process Using

Aspergillus Species "

Itaconic acid is commercially produced by the cultivation of Aspergillus Terrus with

different carbon sources. Molasses is one of the best carbon source among various

carbohydrates, because it is pure, inexpensive and available in a mass supply. The

reaction was carried out at various molasses concentrations, temperatures, incubation

time intervals, agitation speeds and pH. The present study reveals that the maximum

itaconic acid was produced at 35oC , molasses concentration of 10%, agitation speed

of 200rpm, 3.5pH and incubation time 120 hrs with a yield of 0.4976 g/l, specific

growth rate of 0.04199 hr -1 and maximum doubling time of 14.84 hrs, also the

maximum itaconic acid concentration was obtained for 0.5 cm3 and doubled the

concentration after 14 days with immobilized mycelium than free mycelium.
