Propanediol (1,3-PDO) is an organiccompound with many commercial applications. Conventionally, PDO is producedfrom crude oil products. However, DuPont are investing in the biologicalproduction of PDO using renewable feedstocks instead of petrochemicals such ascorn. PDO has numerous applications from polymers to cosmetics, foods,lubricants, and medicines. Recently, PDO has come under spotlight as a cosmeticmoisturizer is much better moisturizing power than petrochemical products suchas propylene. In this study we investigated the effect of various fermentationprocess factors including the optimization of culture medium to produce PDO.Also, we examined performed optimizing the electrodialysis among separationprocess in lab-scale for the production of PDO as a raw material for cosmeticsderived from crude glycerol. |
