Abstract: | Summary An integrated computerized control system, consisting of temperature and moisture sensors, a variable relative humidity air stream and water sprayers was used to control temperature and moisture in the solid substrate fermentation of extruded corn withRhizopusoligosporus in a 15 l rotary drum fermenter. Dry air was blown through the substrate to force evaporative cooling, balanced by spraying of cold water to maintain constant moisture. |
