Fermentation induced changes in volatile components of African oil bean (Pentaclethra macrophylla Benth) seeds
Fermented African oil bean (Pentaclethra macrophylla Benth) seed also referred to as "Ugba" is a known delicacy, mainly consumed by Africans. Human migration has also led to the introduction of this delicacy into most European and American countries. This study shows the changes in volatile components of African oil bean (P. macrophylla Benth) seed at different stages of fermentation. A quantit...
متن کاملEvolution of Volatile Flavour Compounds during Fermentation of African Oil Bean (Pentaclethra macrophylla Benth) Seeds for “Ugba” Production
Fermented African oil bean (Pentaclethra macrophylla Benth) seed is a successful and well studied seasoning and snack in parts of Western Africa. GC-MS analysis of fermenting seeds revealed a mixture of several volatile aroma compounds which changed with time and starter organism. During natural mixed culture process 36 volatile compounds including 12 hydrocarbons, 10 esters, 5 alcohols, 2 phen...
متن کاملFatty acid profile of gamma-irradiated and cooked African oil bean seed (Pentaclethra macrophylla Benth)
The safety and shelf-life of food products can be, respectively, ensured and extended with important food-processing technologies such as irradiation. The joint effect of cooking and 10 kGy gamma irradiation on the fatty acid composition of the oil of Pentaclethra macrophylla Benth was evaluated. Oils from the raw seed, cooked seeds, irradiated seeds (10 kGy), cooked, and irradiated seeds (10 k...
متن کاملAmylolytic, lipolytic and proteolytic activity of Kocuria varians isolated from fermented African oil bean seed (Pentaclethra macrophylla)
Kocuria/ Micrococcus species have been implicated as microbial population of fermented African oil bean seed ‘ugba’, but has never been characterized and its role in the fermentation not known. In this study Kocuria varians was isolated from fermented African oil bean seed. The organism could not utilize citrate and was coagulase, methyl red and oxidase negative. It appeared as deep yellow circ...
