Application

Corn steep liquor has been used:
  • as a component in broth to act as indicator for starch utilization[1]as a component in fermentation medium, low-cost medium and in LB medium for the simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation (SSCF) test[2]
  • as a component in fermentation medium for optimization studies[3]

Corn steep liquor is useful as an inexpensive alternative to peptone for a wide variety of microbiological production methods, including fed-batch production of recombinant proteins in E. coli., high density culture of S. cerevisiae, and fermentative production of lactic acid.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Corn steep liquor can be used as a best alternative for yeast extract, as a nitrogen source in biochemical industries. The vitamins, minerals and nitrogen present in the liquor can be used for fermentation.[4]

General description

Corn steep liquor, a by-product of the corn wet-milling industry[5] consists of 50% water[6] and several ingredients like, sugars and proteins.[7] It is a viscous liquid by-product[4] with a pH of 3.7 to 4.1.[5]

Other Notes

A viscous concentrate of corn solubles, rich in vitamins, amino acids, minerals and other growth stimulants. Contains approx. 50% (w/w) solids.
