Abstract
A commercial glucose analyzer, originally designed for monitoring of blood glucose in patients, was tested for use in fermentation processes. The system operates in such a way that the measured value is updated every 90 seconds. The measuring range of the system is 0–5 g glucose/l and the accuracy is ±7%. The response time was found to be approximately 6 min. The system was used to follow fermentations with two different microorganisms, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli in media containing up to 5 g/l of glucose. The performance was fully satisfactory and the values had a very good correlation with off-line analyses.
