5 Questions
What is a major challenge in solid state fermentation (SSF) due to aerobic conditions in the bioreactor?
Undesirable increase in temperature
How is the cooling of the SSF process achieved in the absence of a free aqueous phase?
Via high aeration rates for evaporation
What can lead to undesirable local increase in water activity during static processing in SSF?
Replenishing the lost water by evaporation
In semi-sterile processes, what adverse effect can be facilitated by increased water activity?
Facilitating the growth of bacterial contaminants
What sensitive response may be caused by substrate mixing in SSF?
Local insufficient oxygen supply to the microorganisms
