Abstract:Xylitol is a polyol with sweetening and anti‐cariogenic properties and is highly relevant to the food and pharmaceutical industries. This work evaluates xylitol production by three yeasts (Candida tropicalis, Kluyveromyces marxianus CCA510, and Kluyveromyces marxianus ATCC 36907) from different carbon sources: D‐xylose (medium xylose [MX]) and D‐xylose plus D‐glucose (medium xylose and glucose [MXG]). The potential of xylitol production from hemicellulose hydrolysate of cashew bagasse was evaluated. In MX medi… Show more
