PROCESS FOR OBTAINING POLYHYDROXYALKANOATES WITHOUT A DYESTUFF

A process is disclosed for preparing dye-free polyhydroxyalkanoates formed in the cells as storage substances during the culture of bacterial biomasses. The dried bacterial biomass is at first exposed for 10 to 120 minutes to a temperature between 80 DEG C and the lower limit of the polyhydroxyalkan...

Summary:A process is disclosed for preparing dye-free polyhydroxyalkanoates formed in the cells as storage substances during the culture of bacterial biomasses. The dried bacterial biomass is at first exposed for 10 to 120 minutes to a temperature between 80 DEG C and the lower limit of the polyhydroxyalkanoate melting range, and is then extracted with acetic acid; 1 to 10 parts per volume, expressed as a percentage, of an aliphatic carboxylic acid derivate, are added to the extracting agent.
