By Solid State Fermentation?

Solid-state fermentation (SSF) is a fermentation mode carried out in the absence of free-flowing liquid (although containing sufficient water to allow microorganism growth), using a nonsoluble material that acts as both a solid support and a source of nutrients [1–3].

What is the process of solid state fermentation?

Solid State Fermentation (SSF) is a fermentation method used by several industries like the pharmaceuticals, food, textile etc., to produce metabolites of microorganisms using solid support in place of the liquid medium. It is defined as the growth of microbes without free-flowing aqueous phase.

Is an example for solid state fermentation?

Examples include fermented bakery products such as bread or for the maturing of cheese. SSF is also widely used to prepare raw materials such as chocolate and coffee; typically cacao bean fermentation and coffee bean skin removal are SSF processes carried out under natural tropical conditions.
