    Abstract: Experiments were undertaken to study particle size and its distribution for improvement of peptide production by mixed-culture (Bacillus sublitis, Saccharomyces sp. and Lactococcus lactis) solid-state fermentation (SSF) of soybean meal and the corresponding kinetics. A particle size of 1-1.4mm of soybean meal gave the highest finial peptide yield, ... Show More
