Summary
A study of the influence of temperature, aeration rate, and substrate water content on sporulation of Penicillium roqueforti on buckwheat seeds in a fixed bed reactor is described. Use of an experimental procedure based on a 23 factorial design allowed optimum to be determined as 23.5° C for temperature, 0.48 g/g dry matter for substrate water content and 4.42 VVH for aeration rate.
