IPC Classification: C07C29/17, C12N1/20, C12N9/04, C12N9/88, C12P7/18, C12P1/04, C12R1/07
Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to the production of 2,3-butanediol in an improved and cost effective manner. The present invention specifically relates to a process of preparation of 2,3-butanediol using waste material i.e., rotten tomatoes without any costly pre-treatment. More specifically, the present invention relates to production of 2,3- butanediol using biobased waste material fermentation media i.e., concentrated tomato juice from waste rotten tomatoes, in presence of bacillus bacterium (specifically novel Bacillus halotolerans EX5-6). The prepared 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD or BDO) can act as a promising bivalent alcohol with its wide variety of industrial applications such as platform chemical serving as precursor for several industrial products like rubber, solvents, and possess biofuel properties, etc.
