Experimental Verification of Fermentation Acceleration Effect by Peristaltic Pump —Facilitation of Fermentation of Lactic Acid Bacteria by Fibrous and Porous Fermentation Substrates—

抄録

This study presents a novel method of fermentation promotion using a peristaltic pump for large-scale fermentation. This pump physically crushes, mixes, and diffuses fermentation substrates to mimic fermentation in the human gut. The proposed device effectively mixes fermentation substrates according to their properties and promotes fermentation. Preliminary studies were conducted on fermentation experiments using this device with fibrous and porous substrates.
