The antioxidant activity of beers comes mainly from phenolic compounds and melanoidins. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of technological operations, especially the ethanol fermentation process using top fermentation brewer’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, on the antioxidant activity of dark dry hopped beers with a high xanthohumol content. Four beers were produced using different varieties of hops. The polyphenol content during beer processing increased at the stage of hopping and fermentation, while it decreased during aging. The ability to reduce iron ions increased for all beers compared to hopped wort. The opposite tendency was noted for the antioxidant capacity expressed as the ability to reduce the radical cation ABTS•+ generated from 2,2′-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid). Fermentation and aging caused a decrease in beer color intensity. The content of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) increased with the color intensity of wort, therefore in beers no presence of 5-HMF was observed. The beers were characterized by a distinctly high content of xanthohumol in the range of 1.77–3.83 mg/L and 0.85–1.19 mg/L of isoxanthohumol. The content of prenylflavonoids and bitterness of beer depended on the variety of hops used.

The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of a pulsed electric field (PEF) on the level of iron ion accumulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells and to select PEF conditions optimal for the highest uptake of this element. Iron ions were accumulated most efficiently when their source was iron (III) nitrate. When the following conditions of PEF treatment were used: voltage 1500 V, pulse width 10 μs, treatment time 20 min, and a number of pulses 1200, accumulation of iron ions in the cells from a 20 h-culture reached a maximum value of 48.01 mg/g dry mass. Application of the optimal PEF conditions thus increased iron accumulation in cells by 157% as compared to the sample enriched with iron without PEF. The second derivative of the FTIR spectra of iron-loaded and -unloaded yeast cells allowed us to determine the functional groups which may be involved in metal ion binding. The exposure of cells to PEF treatment only slightly influenced the biomass and cell viability. However, iron-enriched yeast (both with or without PEF) showed lower fermentative activity than a control sample. Thus obtained yeast biomass containing a high amount of incorporated iron may serve as an alternative to pharmacological supplementation in the state of iron deficiency.

<p>La almendra de copoazú como producto promisorio para la industria de cosméticos, chocolate, bebidas, licores y conservas, se evaluó el proceso de fermentación variando el tiempo de remoción de la masa (24 y 48 horas) y la pulpa inicial (30 y 100%). Se tuvieron en cuenta las condiciones de los productores en el acceso a equipos de despulpado. Se cuantificó la temperatura de la masa en tres puntos (superior, medio e inferior), acidez, pH, humedad, prueba de corte y análisis sensorial. Se encontró bajo desarrollo de la temperatura de fermentación en los tratamientos con 100% de pulpa y se registraron las máximas temperaturas entre 35 y 36°C que indican deficiencias en el proceso; no se alcanzó los 40°C requeridos para la muerte del embrión. El 30% de pulpa inicial y la remoción cada 24 horas por 9 días, fueron las mejores condiciones encontradas. La optimización con 0,1% de levadura (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) aumentó la temperatura de fermentación hasta 44°C, los granos fermentados hasta 56,14% y el mayor desarrollo de sabores frutales con intensidad de 4, mostrando un mejor proceso de fermentación. El panel sensorial mostró que los licores de copoazú tienen notas frutales destacadas y bajos valores de otros sabores evaluados. Los resultados son semejantes a los cacaos criollos, conocidos en el mundo como materia prima de licores finos y de aroma.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Fermentation of the copoazu kernel (Theobroma grandiflorum [Willd. ex Spreng.] Schum.): Assessmente and process optimization</strong></p><p>The fermentation of copoazu kernels (a promising product for the cosmetics industry, chocolate, beverages, liquors and preserves) was evaluated varying the time of mass removal (24 and 48 hours) and the initial pulp (30 and 100%). This study took into account the degree of access the producers had to pulping equipment. We quantified temperature of the mass at three points (top, middle and bottom), acidity, pH, moisture, cutting test and sensory analysis. The observed temperatures during fermentation in the treatments with 100% pulp reached a maximum range between 35 and 36°C which indicated deficiencies in the process as the 40°C required for the death of the seed was not attained. Thirty percent initial pulp with removal every 24 hours for 9 days yielded the best results. Optimization with 0.1% yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) increased the fermentation temperature to 44°C, augmented fermented beans to 56.14% and saw a development of fruit flavors with an intensity of 4, demonstrating a better fermentation process. The sensory panel showed that copoazu liquors have outstanding fruity notes and low levels of other evaluated flavors. The results are similar to the criollo cacao, known worldwide as a raw material for fine liquors and fragrances.</p>

Chagalapoli fruit (Ardisia compressa) is similar to Vaccinium myrtillus (berries) with high-polyphenol content. The objective of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical properties of Chagalapoli fruit and to determine the conditions for the preparation of a fermented beverage using Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast, evaluating the impact on sensory properties. The fermentation process lasted 4 days at 27 &deg;C, with absence of light and a fixed pH of 3.8. The phenolic contents obtained in samples according to chromatograms were 1.27 mg(EPI)/mL in filtered juice, 1.59 mg(EPI)/mL in filtered fermented beverage, 1.91 mg(EPI)/mL in partially filtered juice and 3.19 mg(EPI)/mL in partially filtered fermented beverage. An affective test was carried out to determine the sensory acceptability of the final product, evaluating the flavor, color and aroma parameters. The fermented beverage with the greatest preference on color and flavor attributes was the partially filtered fermented beverage.

Kombucha is a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast which produces a high-end fruity fitness beverage by fermentation of normal tea for approximately two weeks. In addition to the advantage of being a low-sugar probiotic-rich drink, kombucha also offers the benefits of the tea used for its preparation, especially its high antioxidant content. In this research, kombucha tea was prepared by using three different tea types: green, black, and pu’er tea, and the chemical profiles and antioxidant activity were analyzed during the fermentation process (up to 20 days). The results showed that the tea type has an obvious influence on the factors associated with the antioxidant potential. The fermentation process caused a marked increase in polyphenol content and antioxidant activity initially, but this slowed progressively over time. In contrast, the fermentation of black tea contributed to the degradation of flavonoids but showed no significant effect on the other tea types. Therefore, we conclude that the tea type selected to make kombucha affects the end product as well as the fermentation time.

Fermented foods have been an integral part of the cuisines of almost all cultures in the world. In recent years, they have gained ground again, mainly due to their potential health benefits. One such product is grape vinegar, which apart from characteristic taste, is also a source of compounds with antioxidant activity. The aim of the study was to determine the changes in the antioxidant potential and the content of polyphenols that occur during the storage of grape vinegar obtained by spontaneous fermentation. The research material consisted of vinegar made from different white grape varieties grown in Poland. For each variety, two variants were prepared: with and without the addition of sugar in the fermentation process. The antioxidant potential, polyphenol content, soluble solids content and pH were monitored both during the two-month fermentation process and the subsequent 6-months storage under various conditions. Storage conditions and time of the storage affected the antioxidant activity and polyphenol content. The content of these compounds was also influenced by the variety of grapes used as well as the method of vinegar preparation.

A survey of the soda cracker manufacturing process revealed that starter cultures were not used and that fermentation for the process relied primarily on chance contamination. Over 200 isolates from sponge and dough samples, obtained from two commercial plants, were screened. Microorganisms responsible for fermentation of commercial soda cracker sponge and dough were isolated and identified. Besides Bakers' yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), which is part of the standard formulation, three species of lactic bacteria were found to have prominent roles in the fermentation process. Lactobacillus plantarum was found to be the dominant species. Two other species found in significant numbers were Lactobacillus delbrueckii and Lactobacillus leichmannii.
