Notes:
A HPLC technique for the analysis of organic acids in the production of α-ketoglutaric acid was developed. The method was applied and optimized for the quantitative determination of citric acid, pyruvic acid, isocitric acid and α-ketoglutaric acid in fermentation solutions.As microorganism the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica and as substrates glucose or paraffins were used.The chromatographic separations were carried out by means of 50 and 100 × 8 mm i.d. glass columns packed with an anion-exchange resin based on an 8% cross-linked polystyrene-divinylbenzene copolymer.The relative errors ranged from 2.1% (α-ketoglutaric acid) to 5.2% (isocitric acid). The percent recovery values varied between 94.4% (isocitric acid) and 107.7% (pyruvic acid).The contents of organic acids in fermentation solutions after the microbial synthesis based on paraffins or glucose were compared.
