Abstract
Crude extract from sweet sorghum supplemented with vetch juice was utilized as the carbohydrate source for fermentative production of lactic acid. Fermentation of media containing 7%(w/v) total sugar was complex completed in 60β80 hr by Lactobacillus plantarum, product yield averaging 85%. Maximum acid production rates were dependent on pH, initial substrate distribution, and concentration, the rates varying from 2 to 5 g(literΒ·hr.) The lactic acid yield was lowered to 67% under limited medium supplementation. The fermented ammoniated product contained over eight times as much equivalent crude protein (N Γ 6.25) as the original medium. Unstructured kinetic models were developed for cell growth, lactic acid formation, and substrate consumption in batch fermentation. With the provision of experimentally determined kinetic parameters, the proposed models accurately the fermentation process.

Lactic acid fermentation is an end-product-inhibited reaction. The restriction imposed by lactic acid on its fermentation can be avoided by extractive fermentation techniques. Studies were performed by attaching an ion-exchange resin packed column with a 2-L fermentor for separation of lactic acid.
## Abstract Extractive lactic acid fermentation was investigated in the presence of sunflower oil and Alamineβ336 (with oleyl alcohol as the diluent solvent). Lactic acid was produced in various media at 37βΒ°C using __Lactobacillus delbrueckii__ (NRRLβB 445). First, the effects of oleyl alcohol (33
## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Lactic acid has many applications in the chemical industries and it can be produced economically by microorganisms using biomass raw materials of different origins. Sweet sorghum juice is a high sugar content raw material with potential for lactic acid production because
