L-Lysine-HCl Production from Raw Sugar - Cost Analysis - Lysine E21B

Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Lysine production from raw sugar using a conventional fermentation process. In this process, raw sugar (sucrose) is diluted and sucrose is hydrolyzed into glucose and fructose (invert sugars). The invert sugars are then fermented to produce L-Lysine, which is recovered via ion-exchange adsorption. The final product obtained is L-Lysine Monohydrochloride (or L-Lysine-HCl).
