PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method capable of obtaining a maximum water absorption rate of fiber for culture medium in a short time, specifically, a quality evaluation method of fiber for culture medium, and to provide an apparatus capable of obtaining a maximum water absorption rate of fiber for culture medium in a short time, specifically, a quality evaluation apparatus of fiber for culture medium.SOLUTION: A water-permeable container is filled with fiber for culture medium, and water is passed through the water-permeable container. A quality evaluation method comprises: a step of filling a water-permeable container with the fiber for culture medium; a step of obtaining mass Fof the fiber for culture medium in the water-permeable container; a step of passing water into the water-permeable container; and a step of obtaining a mass W of water absorbed into the fiber for culture medium after water is passed through the water-permeable container, and furthermore, comprises one or two or more of steps out of a step of calculating water absorption rate Ab; a step of calculating a liquid phase rate R; a step of calculating a solid phase rate R; and a step of calculating a gas phase rate R. Further, a quality evaluation apparatus comprises: a water-permeable container to be filled with the fiber for culture medium; and water-passing means capable of passing water into the water-permeable container. |
