Feasibility study on direct fermentation of soybean meal by <i>Bacillus stearothermophilus</i> under non‐sterile conditions

Abstract

It is feasible to ferment SBM by high-temperature SSF using B. stearothermophilus under non-sterile conditions. Adverse effects of SSF using sterile SBM might be owing to the low water-holding capacity caused by autoclaving. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.
