Simulation and Profit Estimation for Baker's Yeast Continuous Production

Abstract

In baker's yeast continuous fermentation process, profit optimization is essentially the final target of all process control and scheduling measures. In this paper, an earlier proposed structured kinetic model for baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was tested and modified with industrial fermentation data. With the support of the process model system, the profit function of the whole process is estimated This makes a further profit optimization possible.
