Product Definition and Technical Analysis

Definition

Microbial-fermented inositol refers to a green manufacturing method that utilizes metabolically engineered microorganisms to convert inexpensive carbon sources into inositol (mainly myo-inositol) at room temperature and pressure.

Utilized Microorganisms include:

• Escherichia coli
• Saccharomyces cerevisiae
• Pichia pastoris
• Bacillus subtilis

Advantages Over Traditional Methods

Compared with the traditional high-temperature acid hydrolysis of phytic acid route, microbial fermentation offers several advantages:

• Milder reaction conditions
• Reduced pollution
• High stereoselectivity
• Ease of scale-up to industrial fermenters

Cost Structure Breakdown

• Raw Materials (20% of total cost):
• Carbon sources (food-grade glucose or crude glycerol), which account for 45-50% of raw material costs.
• Nitrogen sources (ammonia, yeast powder).
• Inorganic salts (KH₂PO₄, MgSO₄).
• Trace metals.
• Fermentation Energy Consumption (15%): Includes aeration, stirring, and cooling.
• Downstream Processing (15%): Includes membrane filtration, decolorization, ion exchange, concentration, and crystallization.
