A Substrate–Product Switch Mathematical Model for the Growth Kinetics of Ethanol Metabolism from Longan Solid Waste Using Candida tropicalis

open access: yesAgriculture
A substrate–product switch model was proposed to describe ethanol fermentation from longan solid waste using Candida tropicalis at an initial glucose and xylose ratio of 2 to 1. The model incorporated multiple rate equations for cell growth, sugar uptake,
