The modelling treats the reaction kinetics of substrate （S）, the micro-organisms （X） and the ethanol （E）. Nine models are taken from the literature to describe specific organism growth rate and specific ethanol development rate. These models treat all types of fermentation. The Phisalapbong et al. model and the Ghose and Tyagi model show the best fit of the experimental data. This affirms that the batch fermentation of carob is conducted with substrate and/or ethanol inhibition. Some simulations and relationships （X = f（S）, E = f（S）） are obtained from the Phisalaphong et al. model. Those simulations show a lot of important and useful results of carob batch fermentation process.展开更多
