FERMENTATIVE PRODUCTION OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC C12P19/14 C12P13/08 C12P13/12 C12P13/14 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: starch-containing raw materials (cereals) c are milled to produce a milled product including solid starch-free components in an amount of no less than 20 wt % One prepares a water-based suspension of the milling product to ultimately obtain flour pulp with dry weight content equal to at least 45 wt %. The pulp is heated in a jet boiler by way of water steam delivery to a temperature exceeding that of starch gelatination. One performs flour pulp hydrolysis by way of dilution and subsequent saccharification in the presence of α-amylase enzyme in a quantity of 0.002 - 3.0 wt % of the total quantity of the starch-containing raw material used to produce water medium M. Water medium M is added to the fermentative medium wherewith one cultivates a microorganism capable of the organic compound hyperexpression for fermentative broth production.

EFFECT: method enables production of an organic compound represented by a solid or partly solid non-volatile product of microbial metabolism such as monocarboxylic, dicarboxylic and triocarboxylic acids acid with 3 - 10 carbon atoms carrying, in case of necessity, hydroxyl groups, proteogenic and non-proteogenic amino acids, vitamins and biopolymers.
