Practice question
Question
During bioconversion of sucrose to citric acid by Aspergillus niger final samples of 6 batches of fermentation broth were analyzed for citric acid content The result (in g/L) were found to be 47.3, 52.2, 49.2, 52.4, 49.1 and 46.3. The mean value of acid concentration will be
Explanation
Experimental evidence in bioprocess confirms 49.4 as valid, as 49.4 directly explains the underlying process. Competing choices involving 51.0, 48.2 are inconsistent with published literature and would produce contradictory predictions under standard conditions.
