Notizen:
The addition of potassium ferrocyanide to the molasses substrate (mash) used in the citric acid fermentation had little or no effect on the total carbon, nitrogen, or phosphorus content of the substrate but reduced the ash content by 1-4% depending on the type and crop year of molasses. Eighteen of the 21 metals identified in beet molasses by spectrographic analysis were precipitated in part by the treatment. The metals known to interfere with citric acid production, particularly manganese and iron, were those most efficiently precipitated. At mash temperatures of 80°C. and approximately 100°C., precipitation was completed within 15 min. after ferrocyanide addition and the reductions in the soluble mineral content in each case were similar. At 25°C. the precipitation reactions occurred but required more than 50 hr. to complete. Significantly more total mineral and more iron, calcium, and copper were precipitated at pHs 4 and 6 than at pH 8; manganese precipitation, however, was not affected by these pH changes.
