Citric acid production is currently performed using Aspergillus niger or other yeasts and a carbon source like sugar, dextrose, corn, cassava, beet, among others.
But other raw materials such as sugarcane molasses could be used?
Please have a look at this link.

Dear Iber James Quiñones
please take look at attached articles.
Good Luck
Dear colleague
Many studies have shown the possibility of Citric Acid Production from Sugar Cane Molasses

Thanks everyone for their answers. But I wonder if there's any industrial producer using any other substrate, different than sugar, beet molasses, corn, etc?
