Abstract

The Solid-State Fermentation (SSF) of fibrous residues is one of the most promising techniques for animal feeding production through biotechnological via. In Cuba, from rustic fermentations, several product of great utility have been obtained such as Saccharina, the Sacchamaiz and Sacchaboniato. This study is methodological and presents a general review on the present situation of mathematical modeling of the SSF. The use of this tool to describe the rustic fermentation of fibrous substrates on slid state is included. For that, the equations of balance and energy have been taken into consideration, as well as a logistic equation to describe the microbial growth in these processes. Mathematical
modeling in this type of fermentations, allows determining the protein content and estimating the profiles of temperature, height of solid bed, total time of the process and turning time of the substrate to achieve a more efficient process. Up to now, models to predict the performance of rustic SSF have not been reported.
Key words: rustic solid-state fermentation, mathematical modeling, fibrous residues
