Modeling the effect of sodium chloride on the acetaldehyde-ethanol production rate hysteresis curve describing a batch fermentation process

Sodium chloride has an effect on the area of the region, enclosed by a hysteresis curve, generated by plotting the acetaldehyde concentration versus the ethanol production rate in a semisolid fermentation culture. Mathematical models for this phenomenon have been studied. An upper bound for the area...

Description
Summary:Sodium chloride has an effect on the area of the region, enclosed by a hysteresis curve, generated by plotting the acetaldehyde concentration versus the ethanol production rate in a semisolid fermentation culture. Mathematical models for this phenomenon have been studied. An upper bound for the area as a function of the NaCl concentration has been developed. The proposed models may offer insight and possible improvement in solid fermentation processes which are mediated by high salt environments.
