Abstract

Optimization of the fermentation medium for phenylethyl alcohol (PEA) production by Pichia anomala SKM-T was performed. The carbon source (glucose), nitrogen source (L-phenylalanine), and initial pH value were independent variables of the optimized medium. The central composite rotatable design was used for the experimental design and the analysis of the results. The optimum medium composition for the maximal production (621.27 mg/L) of PEA was found to be an initial pH of 5.03, and concentrations of L-phenylalanine at 6.53 and glucose at 6.11 g/L (w/v). This experimental finding is in close agreement with the model prediction (702.79 mg/L; desirability 0.884) with an 11.6% difference.
