Abstract

Xylan papyrus was used as a base material for the bio-conversion of xylose into xylitol by the yeast Candida tropicalis, and xylitol was used by using the HPLC technique. xylitol was produced under different conditions and factors, the optimum temperature was 30 ° C, the best source of nitrogen was yeast extract, the best concentration of xylose was 60%, the optimum pH was 5.5 and the best ventilation speed was 150 rpm, so the highest concentration of xylitol was 50.8 mg / ml. using the above conditions.
