Introductionpurification of fermentation products may be difficult and
costRecovery costs of microbial products may vary from 15% to
70% of total production cost The main objective of the first stage for the recovery of an
extracellular product is the removal of large solid particles and microbial cells usually by centrifugation or filtration
In the next stage, the broth is fractionated or extracted into major fractions
further more precise chromatographic techniques and crystallization to obtain a product which is highly concentrated and essentially free from impurities.
The major problem currently faced in product recovery is the large-scale purification of biologically active molecules

Stages in the recovery of product

The choice of recovery process is based on the following criteria

REMOVAL OF MICROBIAL CELLS AND OTHER SOLID MATTERNormally separated from the harvested broth
by filtration or centrifugationfoam separation E. coli using lauric acid,
stearyl amine t-octyl amine as surfactants, it was shown that up 90% of the cells were removed in 1 minute and 99% 10 minutes
It is common practice to use filter aids when filtering is slow. Kieselguhr (diatomaceous earth) is the most widely used materiaI

CENTRIFUGATIONAlthough a centrifuge may be expensive
when compared with a filter it may be essential when1. Filtration is slow and difficult.2. The cells or other suspended matter must be obtained free of filter aids.3. Continuous separation to a high standard of hygiene is required.

CELL DISRUPTIONAny potential method of disruption must
ensure that labile materials are not denatured by the process or hydrolysed by enzymes present in the cell
Methods for cell disruption available fall into two major categoriesPhysico-mechanical methodsChemical methods

LIQUID-LIQUID EXTRACTIONThe separation of a component
from a liquid mixture by treatment with a solvent in which the desired component is preferentially soluble is known as liquid-liquid extraction
Polar liquids mix with each other and dissolve salts and other polar solids.
The solvents for non-polar compounds are liquids of low or nil polarity
The dielectric constant is a measure of the degree of molar polarization of a compound

TWO-PHASE AQUEOUS EXTRACTIONLiquid-liquid extraction is a well established
technology in chemical processingHowever, the use of organic solvents has limited
application in the processing of sensitive biologicalsAqueous two-phase systems, on the other hand, have
a high water content and low interfacial surface tension and are regarded as being biocompatible
Phase separation occurs when hydrophilic polymers are added to an aqueous solution, and when the concentrations exceed a certain value two immiscible aqueous phases are formed.

Aqueous two-phase systems are available

SOLVENT RECOVERYSolvent use for extraction
are excessable, therefore need to recovery to reduced cost
Solvent recovery usually using destillation/evaporation method
Evaporation is the removal of solvent from a solution by the application of heat to the solution

CHROMATOGRAPHYIn many fermentation processes,
chromatographic techniques are used to isolate and purify relatively low concentrations of metabolic products
The techniques can be grouped as followsAdsorption chromatography.Ion-exchange chromatography.Gel permeation chromatography.Affinity chromatography.Reverse phase chromatography.High performance liquid chromatography

MEMBRANE PROCESSESBoth processes utilize semi-permeable membranes
to separate molecules of different sizes and therefore act in a similar manner to conventional filters.
Ultrafiltration can be described as a process in which solutes of high molecular weight are retained when the solvent and low molecular weight solutes are forced under hydraulic pressure (around 7 atmospheres) through a membrane of a very fine pore size.
Reverse osmosis is a separation process where the solvent molecules are forced by an applied pressure to flow through a semi-permeable membrane in the opposite direction to that dictated by osmotic forces, and hence is termed reverse osmosis.

DRYINGThe drying of any product (including
biological products) is often the last stage of a manufacturing process
Drying is undertaken because:The cost of transport can be reduced.The material is easier to handle and package.The material can be stored more conveniently
in the dry state.

CRYSTALLIZATIONCrystallization wide used for final purification of a
diverse range of compounds.In citric acid production:
the filtered broth is treated with Ca(OH)2, so that the relatively insoluble calcium crystals will be precipitated from solution.
The calcium citrate is filtered off and treated with sulphuric acid to precipitated the calcium as the insoluble sulphate and release the citric acid.
After clarification with active carbon, the aqueous citric acid is evaporated to the point of crystallization
