Production Process of Pyruvic Acid

The extensive Pyruvic Acid production cost report consists of the following industrial production processes:

• Production via Microbial Fermentation: This method of production involves the process of microbial fermentation by using yeast Y. lipolytica and E. coli in the presence of different carbon sources to synthesize pyruvic acid. In this method, the bacteria or yeast strain is genetically modified, followed by the fermentation of the transformed strain to obtain pyruvic acid as the final product.
• Production via Chemical Synthesis: This method of production mainly involves the tartaric acid method and the lactic acid method. In the tartaric acid method, tartaric acid is used as a raw material, which is heated while mixing with potassium pyrosulfate, followed by the process of dehydration and decarboxylation to produce pyruvic acid as the final product. In the lactic acid method, lactic acid is reacted with oxygen in the presence of a catalyst to obtain pyruvic acid as the product.
