Abstract A structured-segregated dynamic model for biomass growth, sucrose utilization and flavonoid production in Ocimum tenuiflorum suspension culture is proposed, considering a dynamic heterogeneous population of viable active, viable nonactive and dead cell. The sucrose hydrolysis (into glucose and fructose), substrate uptake by biomass and intracellular flavonoid production are modelled using Contois kinetics, a competitive double-substrate Monod, and Luedeking–Piret model, respectively. The conversion of active to viable-nonactive biomass has been formulated as a function of the total substrate and biomass concentrations. Parameters for the dynamic model are evaluated while minimizing the sum of square errors between modelled and measured biomass, cell viability, glucose, fructose and intracellular flavonoid contents. Bootstrap confidence intervals and dynamic relative sensitivity analysis of these model parameters are presented. The knowledge gained from the population-based model in plant suspension culture can provide the basic framework for prediction and optimization of the bioprocess system for phytochemical production.
