The qualitative and quantitative composition of volatile compounds in fermented distillery mash determines the quality of the obtained distillate of agricultural origin (i.e., raw spirit) and the effectiveness of further purification steps. Propan-2-ol (syn. isopropyl alcohol), due to its low boiling point, is difficult to remove by rectification. Therefore, its synthesis needs to be limited during fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast, while at the same time controlling the levels of acetaldehyde and acetic acid, which are likewise known to determine the quality of raw spirit. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are a common but undesirable contaminant in distillery mashes. They are responsible for the production of undesirable compounds, which can affect synthesis of propan-2-ol. Some bacteria strains are able to synthesize isopropyl alcohol. This study therefore set out to investigate whether LAB with S. cerevisiae yeast are responsible for conversion of acetone to propan-2-ol, as well as the effects of the amount of LAB inoculum and fermentation parameters (pH and temperature) on the content of isopropyl alcohol, acetaldehyde, lactic acid and acetic acid in fermented mashes. The results of NMR and comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled with time of flight mass spectrometry (GC × GC-TOF MS) analysis confirmed the ability of the yeast and LAB strains to metabolize acetone via its reduction to isopropyl alcohol. Efficient fermentation of distillery mashes was observed in all tested mashes with an initial LAB count of 3.34–6.34 log cfu/mL, which had no significant effect on the ethanol content. However, changes were observed in the contents of by-products. Lowering the initial pH of the mashes to 4.5, without and with LAB (3.34–4.34 log cfu/mL), resulted in a decrease in propan-2-ol and a concomitant increase in acetaldehyde content, while a higher pH (5.0 and 5.5) increased the content of propan-2-ol and decreased acetaldehyde content. Higher temperature (35 °C) promoted propan-2-ol synthesis and also resulted in increased acetic acid content in the fermented mashes compared to the controls. Moreover, the acetic acid content rose with increases in the initial pH and the initial LAB count.

THE CHEMICAL QUALITIES OF FERMENTED DUCK IMMERSED WITH DIFFERENT LEVELS OF L. plantarum AND STORED UNDER LOW TEMPERATURE. The objective of this research was study the effect of soaking time on chemical (pH, water content, acetic acid content and total lactic acid bacteria) of duck meat fermentation using L. plantarum. Ducks was done by soaking duck meat in culture L.plantarum and stroraged at cooling temperature. Soaking was done with different level of L. plantarum. This experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design consisted of five levels of L. plantarum. Data were analyzed by variance analysis. Significantly difference treatment effects on variable measures were tested using honestly significant difference (HSD). The result showed that treatments had significantly difference (P<0,01) on pH and total lactic acid bacteria of duck meat fermentation, but did not affect significant (P>0,05) on water content and acetic acid content of duck meat fermentation. Therefore, it can be concluded that soaking at 15% level of L. plantarum and storage at cooling temperature can conserve duck meat until 16 days and ducks fermentation were still constant. Keywords: Fermentation, duck meat, pH, water, acetic acid, lactic acid.

Mixed lactic acid bacteria culture is commonly used in yogurt production. In the present study, two lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophillus) was used as starter culture. Calcium carbonate was added to the starter culture to increase the quality of mixed starter culture of L. bulgaricus and S. thermophillus with ratio of 4:1. The present study was directed to investigate the chemical composition of mixed starter culture with and without calcium carbonat addition. Furthermore, the effect of each starter culture on yogurt product chemical composition was also examined. The pH, lactose, soluble protein and acid content was determined as chemical composition parameters. For starter culture without calcium carbonate addition, the yogurt has pH, lactose, soluble protein and acid content of 4.18–4.39, 4.18–4.39% w/v, 2.88–4.36% w/v and 0.82–0.99% w/v, respectively. While for starter culture with calcium carbonate addition, the yogurt product has pH, lactose, soluble protein and acid content of 4.26–4.37, 1.47–1.75% b/v, 3.42–4.95% w/v and 0.86–1.11% w/v, respectively. Addition of 0.05% w/v calcium carbonate to mixed starter culture gave effect on lactose consumption, where it still can convert lactose to lactic acid up to 45 days of storage. Furthermore, the yogurt product made with starter culture with calcium carbonate addition has higher soluble protein content compared to yogurt made with starter culture without calcium carbonate addition

We investigated the variation in microbial community and fermentation characteristics of whole-plant corn silage after treatment with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and organic acids. The fresh corn forages were treated with a combination of L. acidophilus and L. plantarum (106 CFU/g fresh material) or a 7:1:2 ratio of formic acid, acetic acid, and propionic acid (6 mL/g fresh material) followed by 45 or 90 days of ensiling. Silages treated with LAB showed increased lactic acid content and decreased pH after 45 days. Although treatment with LAB or organic acids decreased the common and unique operational taxonomic units, indicating a reduction in microbial diversity, the relative abundance of Lactobacillus was elevated after 45 and 90 days compared with control, which was more distinct in the organic acid groups. Moreover, we found higher levels of acetic acid and increased abundance of Acetobacter in silages treated with organic acids whereas undesirable microorganisms such as Klebsiella, Paenibacillus, and Enterobacter were reduced. In summary, the quality of corn silages was improved by LAB or organic acid treatment in which LAB more effectively enhanced lactic acid content and reduced pH while organic acid inhibited the growth of undesirable microorganisms.

The objective of this study was to investigate alginate microencapsulated lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermentation quality of radish kimchi sample and its potential survivability in different acidic and alkaline environments. Initially, we isolated 45 LAB strains. One of them showed fast growth pattern with potential probiotic and antifungal activities against Aspergillus flavus with a zone of inhibition calculated with 10, 8, 4mm for the 4th, 5th, and 6th day, respectively. Therefore, this strain (KCC-42) was chosen for microencapsulation with alginate biopolymer. It showed potential survivability in in-vitro simulated gastrointestinal fluid and radish kimchi fermentation medium. The survival rate of this free and encapsulated LAB KCC-42 was 6.85 × 105 and 7.48× 105 CFU/ml, respectively; the viability count was significantly higher than nonencapsulated LAB in simulated gastrointestinal juices (acid, bile, and pancreatin) and under radish kimchi fermentation environment. Kimchi sample added with this encapsulated LAB showed increased production of organic acids compared to nonencapsulated LAB sample. Also, the organic acids such as lactic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, and succinic acid production in fermented kimchi were measured 59mM, 26mM, 14mM, and 0.6mM of g/DW, respectively. The production of metabolites such as lactic acid, acetic acid, and succinic acid and the bacteria population was high in microencapsulated LAB samples compared with free bacteria added kimchi sample. Results of this study indicate that microencapsulated LAB KCC-42 might be a useful strategy to develop products for food and healthcare industries.

Abstract Along with raising public awareness about health and increasing yogurt consumption, it is critical to improve the quality of the yogurt. The innovation of yogurt producing in terms of flavor variety is critical since it can entice consumers to consume yogurt. This innovation is possible through the use of high-nutrient plant components that have not been optimally exploited in the surrounding environment. The purpose of this study was to examine the quality of yogurt produced from a variety of raw materials and stabilized naturally using Eucheuma spinosum seaweed. This study used a completely randomized design with a single factor: the type of raw material utilized in the production of yogurt (corn, sweet potato, pumpkin, banana and pineapple). The parameters analyzed included total lactic acid content, pH, total lactic acid bacteria, bacterial viability, viscosity, and organoleptic qualities such as homogeneity and taste were examined using scoring and hedonic methods. The data were evaluated using an analysis of variance (ANOVA) with a significance level of 5%, and the significantly different data were further tested using an additional test of an honest significant difference (HSD). Results show that yogurt made from corn was the best treatment, with pH value of 4.28, total lactic acid content was 1.67%; viscosity was 74,67cP, total lactic acid bacteria was 11.02 log CFU/ml, the bacterial viability met the concentration as a probiotic drink with the decreasing number 0.21 log CFU/ml, scoring test homogeneity score was 3,21 (slightly homogenous), taste score was 3.08 (slightly sour) and hedonic score for homogeneity and taste were 3.29 and 3.25 respectively.

Cocoa fermentation process is fundamental to generate flavors and aromas that are characteristics of chocolate. In Colombia, this process is carried out by microbiota that spontaneously colonizes cocoa beans, therefore the quality of the fermentation is inconsistent. Taking into account that the fermentation of cocoa beans is carried out by a consortium of microorganisms, the aim of thisresearch was to describe the effect of the addition of a specific mixture of yeasts, acetic acid bacteria, and lactic acid bacteria on the physicochemical and organolepticcharacteristics of cocoa beans (clone CCN 51). Isolates of two yeasts (Wickerhamomyces anomalus and Debaryomyces hansenii), three acetic acid bacteria (AAB), (Gluconobacter japonicus, Acetobacter tropicalis, and Acetobacter pasteurianus) and three lactic acid bacteria (LAB) (Pediococcus acidilactici, Lactobacillus brevis, and Lactobacillus plantarum) obtained fromprevious cocoa fermentations selected for their pectinases and acid production capacities in a specific mixture were used. Using the micro-fermentation technique, the effect of a biological starter was evaluated under different viable microorganismsratios (Yeasts: LAB: AAB as follows, 1: 1: 1, 1: 2: 2, 1: 2: 1, 1: 1: 2, 2: 1: 1, 2: 2: 1, 2: 1: 2, and 2: 2: 2). The concentration of each microorganism was standardized at 1x107 cfu/mL, then the biomass of 4 mL for ratio 1 and 8 mL for ratio 2 of each suspension of microorganisms was added at time zero. Different doses of inoculum were 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5% v/w mL inoculum/g cocoa beans. A beneficial effecton the sensory quality of cocoa beans was evidenced by the addition of microorganisms; the best proportion of microorganisms was 2:1:2 (yeasts:LAB:AAB) and the best inoculum dose was 3% (v/w) showing lower acidity, astringency, and bitterness, and emphasizing the cocoa flavors, fruity, nutty, and panela malt.

AbstractThe microbial community during fermented vegetable production has a large impact on the quality of the final products. Lactic acid bacteria have been well-studied in such processes, but knowledge about the roles of non-lactic acid bacteria is limited. This study aimed to provide useful knowledge about the relationships between the microbiota, including non-lactic acid bacteria, and metabolites in commercial pickle production by investigating Japanese pickles fermented in rice-bran. The samples were provided by six manufacturers, divided into two groups depending on the production conditions. The microbiological content of these samples was investigated by high-throughput sequencing, and metabolites were assessed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and enzymatic assay. The data suggest that Halomonas, halophilic Gram-negative bacteria, can increase glutamic acid content during the pickling process under selective conditions for bacterial growth. In contrast, in less selective conditions, the microbiota consumed glutamic acid. Our results indicate that the glutamic acid content in fermented pickle is influenced by the microbiota, rather than by externally added glutamic acid. Our data suggest that both lactic acid bacteria and non-lactic acid bacteria are positive key factors in the mechanism of commercial vegetable fermentation and affect the quality of pickles.

In the experiment was the effect of absorbens supplementation on the fermentation quality of brewers´ grains silage by comparing with the untreated control. As effective substance of experimental groups were barleygroats and malt sprouts. The addition of malt sprouts „B“ and barleygroats „C“ in our experiment conditions increased statistically significantly (P<0.01) the content of DM in silage. The addition of malt sprouts decreased pH value in experimental silage (4.29±0.007) in comparison with control silage (4.43±0.049). The malt sprouts increased significantly (P<0.01) the contents of lactic acid (67.15±2.796 g/kg DM), sum of acids (84.30±2.97 g/kg DM) and decreased (P<0.01) in the trial the ethanol content (0.51±0.102 g/kg DM) and acetic acid content (17.15±0.227 g/kg DM). Silage with malt sprouts has the highest (P<0.01) ammonia content from all silages in trial (966,67±33,33 mg/kg DM). The use of absorbens inhibited significantly (P<0.01) in comparison with control silage (without absorbens) the content of propionic and butyric acid production. Brewers´grain silage with malt sprouts and barleygroats addition were free of butyric and propionic acid, but had higher lactic acid content. These results indicate that malt sprouts addition in the ensiling process may improve the fermentation quality of the brewers´grain silage.

The aim of the present study was to isolate and identify lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from fermented juice of tropical crops such as Napier grass, Ruzi grass, Purple guinea grass, Stylo legume, and Leucaena and their application to improve the quality of tropical crop silage. Fifteen strains of LAB were isolated. The LAB strains were Gram-positive and catalase-negative bacteria and could be divided into three groups, i.e., Pediococcus pentosaceus, Lactiplantibacillus (para)plantarum, and Limosilactobacillus fermentum according to the biochemical API 50CH test. Based on the analysis of 16S rRNA sequence, the strains isolated in the group L. (para)plantarum were distinguished. Two isolates (N3 and G4) were identified as Lactiplantibacillus plantarum. Three isolates (St1, St2, and St3) were identified as L. paraplantarum. In addition, the identification of other isolates was confirmed in the group P. pentosaceus (R1, R4, R5, R8, R11, and L1) and the group L. fermentum (N4, G6, G7, and N4). All selected strains were able to grow at 50°C. All LAB strains showed antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Shigella sonnei ATCC 25931, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, and Bacillus cereus ATCC 11778. Four selected LAB strains (St1, St3, N4, and R4) were tested for their capacity to successfully ensile Stylo legume (Stylosanthes guianensis CIAT184). Stylo silages treated with LAB were well preserved, the NH3–N and butyric acid contents were lower, and the lactic acid content was higher than those in the control (p &lt; 0.05). The acetic acid content was the highest in R4-treated silage among the treatments (p &lt; 0.05). The crude protein (CP) content of St1-silage was significantly (p &lt; 0.05) higher than the others. The inoculation of thermotolerant LAB selected from fermented juice of epiphytic lactic acid bacteria (FJLB) was found to be highly instrumental to obtain well-preserved silage from the Stylo legume.

The vinegar production needs two steps, the sugar changing to alcohol by yeast and then alcohol changing to vinegar by acetic acid bacteria. The vinegar could be produce by slow methods. The purposed of this study were to determine the influence of yeast and sugar using against the quality of fermentation result in first step (anaerobic), analyzing the influence of fermentation time against the vinegar quality based on SNI 01-3711-1995, and study the influence of fermentation time against the acetic acid content in second step (aerobic) with slow methods. This research used completely randomized design, the adding sugar (3 level) and yeast (3 level) as treatment. Each treatment was repeated three times. While the observation of vinegar quality used experiment research without the difference of treatment and repetition, used single error design. Result of research showed that vinegar quality have been suitable with SNI 01-3711-1995 about vinegar, include form, smell, acetic acid content, formic acid and oxalic acid. If the fermentation time be longer, the acetic acid content be lower in aerobic fermentation with slow methods, it was showed by the exponential regression formula ?= 20,695e-0,088x.
