Abstract

A method for culturing the yeast for enhancing pentitol production is provided. The yeast cultured according to the present disclosure is Pichia stipitis. Application of the yeast in pentitol production by fermention of the lignocellulosic hydrolysate or the xylose-to-pentitol production yield can be enhanced 3 to 6 times from the non-detoxified or the overliming-processed lignocellulosic hydrolysate.
