Fermentation Flashcards
What is fermentation
Microbiological process to convert carbs and sugars into interesting products
Important microbes for fermentation
Yeast and bacteria
Solid food fermentation?
Solid food fermented by bacteria

Yeast
Main Industrial yeast ?
Saccharine cerevisiae
How is alcohol made
Starch/ sugar with yeast
When did brewing begin
2000-6000BC
What is beer
Alcoholic fermentation of the aqueous extract of malted barley with hops
Brewing raw materials
Water
Barley hordeum
Good humulus
Yeast saccrmyces
What’s is barley
A cereal grass
High in starch
And protein
What is malt
Barley that has been germinated and dried by kilning
What happens when malt is mashed
Produces maltose - disaccharide
Main brewing sugar
What is Hops
Flowers adds flavour and aroma to the drink and acts as a preservative as it kills bacteria
What ale are brewing yeasts
Sacchramiyces cerevise
Lager yeast
Saccharomyces pastorianus
Kombucha
Fermented probiotic tea drink
How is soy sauce made
Yeast and soy beans
Fermented milks
Contain live bacteria
Lactic acid lactobacillus
Kefir
Made with horses milk
Critic acid made by fermentation
Using fungi aspgillus or yeast
How is vineagar made
Taken from alcohol converted by bacteria
When did fermentation studies start
1857 Pasteur studies lactic acid fermentation
Subdivision clostridium
Gram positive bacteria
G+C% of DNA <55%
Features of LAB
prokaryotes
Gram positive
Anaerobe
Catalase negative
Non sore forming
Non homogeneous group
Produces lactic acid
Activities of LAB
What happens to glucose
Function of ATP
primary energy source for cells, powering many metabolic processes, including cell signaling and neurotransmission
HETEROLACTIC PATHWAY
Description
Transport and metabolism of lactose in the LAB
