“…Feed grade cane molasses, however, contains percent levels of crude protein, a fraction of which is made up by the amino acid phenylalanine. 27,28 Additionally, phenylacetic acid has been reported as a constituent of molasses that contributes to its characteristic aroma. 29 The composition of molasses can vary between production facilities and can vary as a function of time during the sugar cane processing season.…”

In situ bioremediation practices that include subsurface addition of fermentable electron donors to stimulate reductive dechlorination by anaerobic bacteria have become widely employed to combat chlorinated solvent contamination in groundwater. At a contaminated site located near Baton Rouge, Louisiana (USA), toluene was transiently observed in groundwater at concentrations that sometimes far exceeded the US drinking water maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 1 mg/L after a fermentable substrate (agricultural feed grade cane molasses) was injected into the subsurface with the intent of providing electron donors for reductive dechlorination. Here, we present data that demonstrate that indigenous microorganisms can biologically produce toluene by converting phenylacetic acid, phenylalanine, phenyllactate, and phenylpyruvate to toluene. When grown in defined medium with phenylacetic acid at concentrations ≤350 mg/L, the molar ratio between toluene accumulated and phenylacetic acid supplied was highly correlated ( R ≥ 0.96) with a toluene yield exceeding 0.9:1. Experiments conducted using C labeled compounds (phenylacetic acid-2-C and l-phenylalanine-3-C) resulted in production of toluene-α-C, confirming that toluene was synthesized from these precursors by two independently developed enrichment cultures. Results presented here suggest that monitoring of aromatic hydrocarbons is warranted during enhanced bioremediation activities where electron donors are introduced to stimulate anaerobic biotransformation of chlorinated solvents.

“…It is skin irritant and produces systolic standstill in frog heart muscle. This lactone has also been isolated from cane molasses 6 and jasmine blossoms 7 as a flavor substance. In 1968 it was isolated from the secretion of two species of formicine ants of the genus Componotus collected in western Australia.…”

“…8 Sugar cane molasses is a rich nutritional source with a significant amount of mineral salts and vitamins, including sucrose, glucose, and fructose. 9,10 Its association to yeast extract is able to provide lactic acid bacteria all the required compounds for a fast growth and a high lactic acid production. Sugar-based feedstocks, including total sugar after inversion (TSAI) from molasses, are conventional feedstocks applied to biotechnological production processes.…”

Despite the broad variety of substrates tested for lactic acid production, most of them have problems, even those with promising results. The use of sugar cane molasses appears as a viable alternative, allowing the development of high-performance lactic acid production with yeast extract. In this study, different strategies are proposed and evaluated to achieve high yield, productivity, and lactic acid concentrations considering the suitable association among strain physiology, osmotic stress, substrates, pH control, and fermentation operational parameters. With these strategies and using molasses as a substrate, it was possible to obtain a yield of 95%, with a productivity of 5.38 g L −1 h −1 , and a titer of 157.95 g/L of lactic acid.
