چکیده

Yeasts play an important role in the food and beverage industry, especially in products such as bread, wine, and beer, among many others. However, their use as a starter in table olive processing has not yet been studied in detail. The candidate yeast strains should be able to dominate fermentation, together with lactic acid bacteria, but should also provide a number of beneficial advantages. Technologically, yeasts should resist low pH and high salt concentrations, produce desirable aromas, improve lactic acid bacteria growth, and inhibit spoilage microorganisms. Nowadays, they are being considered as probiotic agents because many species are able to resist the passage through the gastrointestinal tract and show favorable effects on the host. In this way, yeasts may improve the health of consumers by means of the degradation of non-assimilated compounds (such as phytate complexes), a decrease in cholesterol levels, the production of vitamins and antioxidants, the inhibition of pathogens, an adhesion to intestinal cell line Caco-2, and the maintenance of epithelial barrier integrity. Many yeast species, usually found in table olive processing (Wickerhamomyces anomalus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia membranifaciens, and Kluyveromyces lactis, among others), have exhibited some of these properties. Thus, the selection of the most appropriate strains to be used as starters in this fermented vegetable, alone or in combination with lactic acid bacteria, is a promising research line to develop in the near future.

Identificationtion of Phenolic Compounds in Table Olives and Samples of Brines during Table Olives Fermentation: Biological and Antimicrobial Activity

Table olives are one of the most important traditional fermented vegetables in Southern European (Italy, Greece and Spain) countries. In the Greek-style production system, the fruits are placed directly into the brine, thus allowing the natural fermentation to take place. The spontaneous fermentations, that can last 8–12 months, are driven by mixed populations of microorganisms, mainly the epip...

Factors influencing phenolic compounds in table olives (Olea europaea).

The Mediterranean diet appears to be associated with a reduced risk of several chronic diseases including cancer and cardiovascular and Alzheimer's diseases. Olive products (mainly olive oil and table olives) are important components of the Mediterranean diet. Olives contain a range of phenolic compounds; these natural antioxidants may contribute to the prevention of these chronic conditions. C...

Application of gravity separators for enrichment of South Chah-Palang tungsten ore

In the present study, the possibility of concentrating tungsten-copper vein ore in South Chah-Palang was examined using gravity separators including Jig Machine (-2360+600 μm), shaking table (-600+120 μm), and multi-gravity separator (MGS) (-120 μm). The representative sample contains 1.5% WO3 and 5.95% CuO. The main tungsten minerals were ferberite and wolframite and their appropriate liberati...

Microbiota of table olive fermentations and criteria of selection for their use as starters

Fermentation is one of the oldest methods for preserving of olives applied worldwide for thousands of years. However, olive processing is a speculative area where whether olives are fermented products or pickled products produced by organic acids and salt. Although lactobacilli and yeasts play a major role in the process, literature survey indicates that lactobacilli are less relevant at least ...
