✦ Synopsis

Vital parameters like temperature, pH and agitation are optimized in the kinetic studies of glucose isomerisation carried out in a batch fashion. A 4-1itre fermentor with temperature, pH, agitation and other controls is used. It is found that the two parameters -temperature and pH, do not have an interacting effect on each other. A temperature of 60~ a pH ors.0 and a speed of 200 rpm are found to be better suited for the production of fructose syrups starting from glucose by arthrobacter sp. An upper limit of 20 minutes on the residence time is suggested for use in the design of flow reactors.
