Batch Fermentation Process

A tank of fermenter is filled with the prepared mash of raw materials to be fermented. The temperature and pH for microbial fermentation is properly adjusted, and occasionally nutritive supplements are added to the prepared mash. The mash is steam sterilized in a pure culture process. The inoculum of a pure culture is added to the fermenter, from a separate pure culture vessel.

Fermentation proceeds, and after the proper time the contents of the fermenter, are taken out for further processing. The fermenter is cleaned and the process is repeated. Thus each fermentation is a discontinuous process divided into batches
