Abstract
The use of Rhodococcus fascians for debittering kinnow juice was explo red. Its growth and application conditions were optimized. Incubation of kinnow juice with 5% (v/v) R. fascians mass cultivated for 48 h aff orded optimal (60%) degradation of limonin at 25 degrees C, pH 4.0 and 150 rev min-(1) for 48 h. Coupling of this step with alkaline degrada tion led to 78% degradation of limonin.
