Cassava roots are used as human food in many processed forms and products. Fermentation is the initial step needed in the development of various flavour precursors in the cassava and generally conducted as traditional, indigenous processes leading sometimes to the undesirable quality of final products depending probably on the variety (bitter or sweet) of cassava. Both sweet and bitter varietie...

Introduction The production of protein-based medical agents, like monoclonal antibodies (Mabs), by biotechnological processes requires a comprehensive quality control. The pharmaceutical industry and national health authorities support the complete characterization of therapeutic proteins to increase the quality and safety. During numerous and different production steps like fermentation, purif...

Fermentation time has an influence on the quality characteristics of fermented meat products. The effect of heat treatment on physicochemical, sensory and microbiological properties of sucuk was determined during fermentation and after heat application, and the properties of heat-treated sucuk samples were compared with those of traditional sucuk. Optimum fermentation period was determined for ...

abstract: fermented cucumber is a traditional lactic acid fermentation that is related to the presence of microorganisms. in this study, the use of suitable l. plantarum starter culture with l.bulgaricus and s. thermophilus to improve the cucumber fermentation process with high quality has been studied. cucumbers in brine containing 4 to 6% nacl and 0.2 to 0.4% inulin (w/v) were inoculated with...

Evaluation of surface water quality is a complex process undertakingmultiple parameters. Converting great amount of parameters into a simpler expressionand enabling easy interpretation of data are the main purposes of water quality indices.The main aim of this study is to plan effective water resources management system forKarun River by combination of CCMEWQI and Geographic Information System ...

Legumes and oil bean seeds used for the production of condiments in Africa are inedible in their natural state; they contain some anti-nutritional factors especially undigestible oligosaccharides and phytate. Fermentation impact desirable changes by reducing anti-nutritional factors and increasing digestibility. Ugba is an alkaline fermented African oil bean cotyledon (Pentaclethra macrophylla)...

The table olive is probably one of the most important and most recognized fermented vegetable in the food industry. Basically, the elaboration of this food is constrained to Mediterranean countries, but there are also well established production regions in Australia, USA and South-America. Thus, table olive elaboration is widespread around the world and represents an important economic source f...

285 Premium wine quality can be achieved only through a favorable balance between fruit, fermentation, and processingderived aromas and flavors. The 3-alkyl-2-methoxypyrazines produce vegetative odors characteristic of green bell peppers and peas. The olfactory threshold at which these compounds are sensed is extraordinarily low: 1 to 10 ng/L in water. These compounds, 3-isobutyl-2-methoxypyraz...
