The present invention relates to a process of solid or semi-solid fermentation of food material. The process includes the utilisation of a conical vessel to carry out the fermentation at a high dry matter content. One of the beneficial effects of the process is that fermentation time can be drastically reduced. Thus, it is possible to conduct the fermentation of soy, for example, within less than 16 hours while obtaining a tasty, nutritionally valuable paste based on soy. The invention also relates to the use of conical vessels to conduct fermentation. |
