Abstract

This review focuses on the development of simple unstructured kinetic models for quantitative description of biopolymer conversion processes. Together with the Luedeking-Piret model, several growth kinetic equations have been attempted for representing the literature data on several exopolysaccharides and one endobiopolymer, poly-β-hydroxybutyric acid. Critique on the applicability and pitfalls of such models is discussed in detail.
