Abstract
Sorbose is an important raw material for the production of Vitamin C. As part of our endeavor to develop on improved vitamin C process, we first studied the sorbose fermentation process. Several important variables that influence the productivity of sorbose were considered and evaluated. The yield sorbose from sorbitol obtained was greater than 90％. Details of our experimental results will be discussed and a possible new approach to process improvement will be suggested for more efficient sorbose fermentation.
