L-Lysine-HCl Production from Glucose - Cost Analysis - Lysine E12A

Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Lysine production from glucose syrup. The process examined is a conventional fermentation process followed by ion-exchange adsorption and crystallization steps for product recovery. In this process, a 70 wt% glucose-water syrup is used as the carbon source in the fermentation the final product obtained is L-Lysine Monohydrochloride (or L-Lysine-HCl).
