Module 9: Fermentation Flashcards
Breakdown of carbohydrate material by selected bacteria, aerobic or anaerobic
Fermentation
True or false. Breakdown of fats and proteins may also occur during fermentation.
True. Proteolysis and lipolysis
Why do we ferment foods?
Food preservation and safety
Improvement of nutritive value
Income
Change in sensory characteristics
Yeast is able to concentrate high levels of what vitamins?
Thiamin, nicotinic acid (vitamin B3), and biotin
Describe the principle of fermentation.
Raw material consisting of CHO, CHON, and fat (crops, grains, waste products) is acted upon by selected microorganisms in starter culture (bacteria, yeasts, molds) and enzymes to create a new product with altered flavor, texture, and health effect or for preservation.
Microorganisms used in fermentation
Yeasts
