Abstract: The paper considers the problems of initial conditions optimisation for a class of biotechnological processes called batch fermentations. The method called backpropagation through time of utility function is used as optimisation procedure and neural network model of the process under consideration is used for derivatives' calculation. The developed procedure was applied to pre-fermentation process for yogurt starter cultures cultivation. The simulation results confirm experimental experience and expert's opinion on the possible optimal decisions.
