the optimum fermentation times of black tea manufactured by two systems of orthodox and ctc (cut, tear & curl) were investigated by measuring the quality parameters of black tea, like: theaflavin, thearubigin, highly  polymerized substances and total liquid colour during the fermentation stage. optimum fermentation times from the beginning of fermentation were determined to be 60 min and 15...

Development of a novel directly marketable beer brewed at low temperature in a domestic refrigerator combined with yeast immobilization technology is presented in this study. Separately, freeze-dried wort and immobilized cells of the cryotolerant yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae AXAZ-1 on tubular cellulose were used in low-temperature fermentation (2, 5 and 7 °C). The positive effect of tu...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none fa background: frozen dough technology makes it possible to access fresh bread with a minimum need for equipment and with minimal skilled personnel at any time. in this study the impact of freezing rate and degree of pre-fermentation on quality factors of s angak frozen dough and its bread was assessed. methods: the pre-fermentation was between 0 and 120 ...

Rice cultivation generates large amount of crop residues of which only 20% are utilized for industrial and domestic purposes. In most developing countries especially southeast Asia, rice straw is used as part of feeding ingredients for the ruminants. However, due to its low protein content and high level of lignin and silica, there is limitation to its digestibility and nutritional value. To ut...

Studies were conducted to evaluate the combined effects of spontaneous fermentation and amylase-rich flours (ARF) on some nutritive value, functional and viscoelastic properties of cowpea-fortified nixtamalized maize. A 2 x 3 x 3 factorial design, with fermentation medium, fermentation time and ARF level, was performed. The blends were fermented for the specific times and analysed for their tit...

the development of a surface water evaluation index is a critical factor in the assessment, restoration and protection of stream water quality. quantifying water pollution in specific grade using dominant parameters is important, as this can explain the current state of water pollution with accuracy. as a result, an integrated multi-parameter water quality index has been developed. it is based ...

Studies were conducted to evaluate effects of pod storage (as a means of pulp pre-conditioning) and fermentation time on the fermentative quality and appearance of Ghanaian cocoa beans. The fermentative quality (cut test and fermentation index [FI]) and colour (L, a, b) of the cocoa beans were studied using standard methods. Increasing pod storage and fermentation time significantly (P<0.05) in...

background: survey of pollution and evaluation of water quality in rivers with oregon water quality index (owqi) and gis are effective tools for management of the impact of environmental water resources. the information in calculating the wqi of moradbeik river allowed us to take our tests results and make a scientific conclusion about the quality of water. gis can be a powerful tool for develo...

Research has been done on simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms.) with different pH to produce bioethanol. Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process was the integration between saccharification or hydrolysis of cellulose into sugar and fermentation of sugar into ethanol, with utilized microorganism of Trichoderma harzia...

In order to develop methods that would enlarge the feed resources in Tibet, mixtures of hulless-barley straw and tall fescue were ensiled with four levels (0, 10%, 20%, and 30% of fresh weight) of wet hulless-barley distillers' grains (WHDG). The silos were opened after 7, 14 or 30 d of ensiling, and the fermentation characteristics and nutritive quality of the silages were analyzed. WHDG addit...
