Calculation of fermentation parameters from the results of a fed-batch test taking account of the volume of biomass in the fermenting medium
The volume of biomass in the fermenting medium may significantly affect the values of fermentation parameters calculated from the measured concentrations of the substrates and/or products. The corrections proposed in this paper should be evaluated and, depending on their magnitude, considered in ord...

| Summary: | The volume of biomass in the fermenting medium may significantly affect the values of fermentation parameters calculated from the measured concentrations of the substrates and/or products. The corrections proposed in this paper should be evaluated and, depending on their magnitude, considered in order to obtain more representative results. A numerical example is presented.<br>O volume da biomassa no meio em fermentação pode afetar significativamente os parâmetros do processo calculados a partir das medidas das concentrações de substratos e/ou produtos. Correções propostas neste trabalho deveriam ser avaliadas e, dependendo de seus valores, consideradas a fim de obter resultados mais representativos. Apresenta-se um exemplo numérico. |
