Questions and Answers

What is a major challenge in solid state fermentation (SSF) due to aerobic conditions in the bioreactor?

  • Difficulty in controlling the moisture level
  • Undesirable increase in temperature (correct)
  • Local insufficient oxygen supply
  • High aeration rates
  • How is the cooling of the SSF process achieved in the absence of a free aqueous phase?

  • Through substrate mixing
  • Through bioreactor double walls
  • Via high aeration rates for evaporation (correct)
  • By replenishing the water lost by evaporation
  • What can lead to undesirable local increase in water activity during static processing in SSF?

  • High aeration intensity
  • Sterile fermentations
  • Substrate mixing
  • Replenishing the lost water by evaporation (correct)
  • In semi-sterile processes, what adverse effect can be facilitated by increased water activity?
