An integrated process enabling the simultaneous production and purification of fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) was explored. A co-culture fermentation with Aspergillus ibericus (used as FOS producer strain) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae YIL162 W (for small saccharides removal) was optimized. Inoculation conditions of S. cerevisiae, fermentative broth composition, temperature and pH were optimized by experimental design. Yeast extract concentration and temperature were the most significant variables affecting FOS purity. Co-culture fermentations with simultaneously inoculation of the strains, run ...
