β¦ Synopsis
This paper reviews bioreactor designs and their use for protein production under solid state fermentation (SSF) conditions using various agricultural by-products. The advantages and disadvantages of various bioreactors and their potential for scale-up are described. SSF is proposed as a suitable low-tech strategy for protein enrichment for animal feed by converting a previously low value substance into a more nutritionally valuable one. The use of various substrates and microorganisms for protein enrichment are also listed.

## Abstract The enrichment of cassava protein content using solid substrate fermentation was studied on both laboratory and onβfarm scales using __Aspergillus niger__ as a starter. The effects of cassava particle size and of various nitrogen source ratios and mixing methods were investigated. Ammon
The development of large-scale solid-state fermentation (SSF) processes is hampered by the lack of simple tools for the design of SSF bioreactors. The use of semifundamental mathematical models to design and operate SSF bioreactors can be complex. In this work, dimensionless design factors are used
