Measurements were made on five animals on each trip. Stress response parameters considered were cortisol, glucose, lactate, creatine kinase and heart rate. Blood samples were taken before and after transport. Heart rate sensors were mounted on the animals at least 30 minutes before loading and measurements were made continuously from farms to the abattoirs until stunning. The results of heart rate measurement indicated that loading, un-loading and forced movement in the stunning box were the most stressful events. However, the results of statistical analysis confirmed that transport time doesn't have significant effect (P 〈 0.05) on heart rate. Concentration level of cortisol increased by 10 folds during short transport. However, cortisol concentration decreased with an increase of transport times (P 〈 0.01). Glucose concentrations increased with transport time in all animal categories (P ≤ 0.01). Transport time has significant effect on concentration levels of glucose (P ≤ 0.01), creatine kinase (P 〈 0.001) and lactate (P 〈 0.01) particularly after 6 hours journey time.展开更多

The kinetic parameters of the fermentation process were determined from the batch experimental data. The continuous fermentation was modeled to be carried out in a stirred tank reactor. The effect of hydraulic retention time on the steady state continuous fermentation process of glucose by Aspergillus niger to produce gluconic acid was investigated. The result showed that increasing the hydraulic retention time caused the cell amount and gluconic acid concentration at the outlet stream increased but the glucose concentration at the outlet stream decreased. The steady state simulation result was useful for fermenter size determination. Dynamic behaviour of gluconic acid production through fermentation by Aspergillus niger was also studied for a fermenter with 24 h hydraulic retention time. Applying step change of inlet substrate concentration resulted in first order response of cell, substrate and product concentration with all having positive gain. On the other hand, applying step change of inlet cell concentration has resulted in positive gain for cell and product concentration and negative gain for substrate concentration with first order response for all those three parameters.展开更多

文摘Batch and continuous fermentation ofgluconic acid production has been studied. The kinetic parameters of the fermentation process were determined from the batch experimental data. The continuous fermentation was modeled to be carried out in a stirred tank reactor. The effect of hydraulic retention time on the steady state continuous fermentation process of glucose by Aspergillus niger to produce gluconic acid was investigated. The result showed that increasing the hydraulic retention time caused the cell amount and gluconic acid concentration at the outlet stream increased but the glucose concentration at the outlet stream decreased. The steady state simulation result was useful for fermenter size determination. Dynamic behaviour of gluconic acid production through fermentation by Aspergillus niger was also studied for a fermenter with 24 h hydraulic retention time. Applying step change of inlet substrate concentration resulted in first order response of cell, substrate and product concentration with all having positive gain. On the other hand, applying step change of inlet cell concentration has resulted in positive gain for cell and product concentration and negative gain for substrate concentration with first order response for all those three parameters.
