Table 2 The five fermentation time samples for compositional analysis with the two GC-MS methods
t1 | Beginning of fermentation | Immediately after inoculation |
t2 | End of lag-phase | Time needed to reach 2% (ODmax-ODmin) |
t3 | Growth mid-point | Time needed to consume half of the initial glucose |
t4 | Growth end point | Time needed to consume all glucose |
t5 | Stationary phase | 10Â hours after growth end point |
