METHOD FOR STARTING MATERIAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL IN KOJI PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT

摘要

PURPOSE:To prevent, in the material temperature control for koji (malted rice) production, troubles in starting the control due to having not provided a culture medium or not normally connected thermosensors for the materials. CONSTITUTION:A culture medium is put into a vessel 2 in a koji production chamber 1 under environmental control and material temperature for the culture medium is controlled based on a relevant set value while measuring such temperature using a relevant thermosensor 26. In this temperature controlling method, temperature control starting operation is canceled even if such operation is made, ensuring material temperature control not to be started, in case the vessel 2 has not been provided with the culture medium or the thermosensor 26 is not normally actuated.
