Abstract
The effect of antifoam agents, viz., octadecanol, groundnut oil
and silicone oil and oxygen transfer rate (OTR) has been studied
on citric acid yield by A. niger under submerged fermentation. It
has been observed that groundnut oil gave the maximum yield of
citirc acid in comparison to octadecanol and silicone oil. So far as
the OTR is concerned a volume of 100 mL of the medium per one
litre flask is optimum for the production of citric acid.
