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...

Tucupi is a beverage resulting from the fermentation process of manipueira, by-product cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz); it has sensory characteristics and eccentric composition, marked by yellowish color, acidic flavor, characteristic aroma, numerous forms culinary preparation, which range sauces, risottos de tucupi with jambu, even tacacá, combination indigenous soup, mani poi, enriched ing...

in this study the impact of freezing rate and degree of pre-fermentation on sangak frozen dough and its bread was assessed. the pre-fermentation was between zero and 120 min and the corresponding secondly fermentation was between 120 and 0 min, respectively, to obtain total fermentation time of 120 min. the pre-fermentation dough was formed in flat shape and frozen under -20, -25 and -30 °c. it...

recovery of metabolites from fermentation broth by solvent extraction can be used to optimize fermentation processes. end-product reutilization, low product concentration and large volumes of fermentation broth and the requirements for large bioreactors, in addition to the high cost largely contributed to the decline in fermentative 2,3-butanediol production. extraction can successfully be used...

Food fermentation processes often result in profound changes in flavor relative to the starting ingredients. However, fermenting foods are typically very complex ecosystems with active enzyme systems from the ingredient materials interacting with the metabolic activities of the fermentation organisms. Factors such as added salt, particle sizes, temperature, and oxygen levels will also have impo...

The presence and enumeration of halophilic and alkaliphilic bacteria in Spanish-style table-olive fermentations was studied. Twenty 10-tonne fermenters at two large manufacturing companies in Spain, previously studied through both culture dependent and independent (PCR-DGGE) methodologies, were selected. Virtually all this microbiota was isolated during the initial fermentation stage. A total o...

The integration of batch fermentation and membrane-based pervaporation process in a membrane bioreactor (MBR) was studied to enhance bioethanol production compared to conventional batch fermentation operated at optimum condition. For this purpose, a laboratory-scale MBR system was designed and fabricated. Dense hydrophobic Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane was used for pervaporation. For fer...

 Effects of inoculation level (4 or 8-fold compared to standard inoculation) and order (standard inoculation before fermentation and 3-fold inoculation at the end of fermentation = 1+3, Two-fold inoculation before fermentation and the same at the end of fermentation = 2+2, 2+6, 4-fold before fermentation = 4, 4+4, and 8) of culture inoculums containing probiotics on viscosity, phase separation,...
