Cocoa seed fermentation involves a well-stabilized succession of microbial processes and the action enzymes. Microorganisms (yeast, lactic acid bacteria, acetic bacteria) play critical role in cacao by degrading mucilage pulp producing stabilized enzymatic reactions that contribute to its quality. Nowadays, majority practiced our planet is traditional form produce aroma flavor. The art using st...

Chicory plant (Dorema aucheri) belongs to Asteraceae family and contains flavonoids. Milk is a mixture of protein, fat, lactose, minerals. This research carried out in order to evaluate the effect of chicory plant on the activities of bifidobacterium bifidum and lactobacillus acidophilus. Four containers containing a liter of 1.5 % sterilized skim milk were s...

—This paper presents the development of an integrated virtual/remote lab for teaching induction motor starting methods used in the Civil Engineering School at the Technical University of Madrid (UPM).

Starter cultures provide a basis in the production of fermented foods. Probiotics are the most important group of bacterial starter cultures. Commercial starter cultures were initially supplied in liquid form prior to the production of concentrated starter cultures. Progress in biotechnology later led to the application of concentrated starter cultures in frozen and freeze dried forms for direc...

the objective of this study was to identify acinetobacter in a traditional cheese from west azarbaijan, iran, and to study the lipolytic and proteolytic activities of these bacteria in ripening of white brine cheese. acinetobacter is a gram negative bacteria which can be found in different sources as dairy products. lypolysis and proteolysis characteristic of this bacteria and thus its role in ...

A total of 375 lactic acid bacteria were isolated from fermenting cassava in South Africa, Benin, Kenya and Germany, and were characterised by phenotypic and genotypic tests. These could be divided into five main groups comprising strains of facultatively heterofermentative rods, obligately heterofermentative rods, heterofermentative cocci, homofermentative cocci and obligately homofermentative...

This research was conducted to compare the effects of two medicinal plants (peppermint and aloe vera) and antibiotic growth promoter on ileum microflora population and growth performance of broiler chickens. In this experiment, 375 one-day old male broiler chickens (Ross 308) were used on a completely randomized design with 5 dietary treatments which were replicated 5 times with 15 birds per re...

industrially important microorganisms used for the production of various fermented foods. Recently, probiotic lactic acid bacteria defined as “living microorganisms that benefit the health of the host by conditioning the intestinal environment” have attracted the attention of many scientists, and began to be applied in the dairy industry. For example, the intake of fermented milk containing pro...
