2.5. Importance of Fermentation
It is possible to preserve food and alter its quality using fermentation methods. For a successful natural fermentation of carbohydrate-rich food and feed products there are many determinant factors. Metabolic activities of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) play a leading role. Their ability to rapidly produce copious amounts of acidic end products with a concomitant pH reduction is the major factor in these fermentations. Although their specific effects are difficult to quantitate, other metabolic products such as hydrogen peroxide and dactyl can also contribute to the overall antibiosis and preservative potential of these products (Lindgren and Dobrogosz, 1990). Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are a group of gram positive bacteria, which excrete lactic acid as a main fermentation product into the medium.
Fermentation plays different roles in food processing. Major roles considered are: (1)

There is no clear demarcation between these materials and the conventional ones, apart from the very fact that these have not yet been commonly used as feeds (Amata, 2014). NCFRs include feeds like residues of local drinks like areke, tela, fruits and vegetables reject, poultry manure, waste products of animal processing, such as offal from fish or monogastric animals, and feather meal (Van Soest, 1985). The by products from homemade brewery are richer in energy and protein than the residues from the factories. It is important to note that using these materials as feed does not only contribute nutrients and off set feed costs, but also utilizes waste materials as these materials are usually considered as a potential environmental hazard. In addition to this, food leftover from residence, cafeteria, restaurants, hotels, hospitals and military camps can serve as source of feed for
...id, acetic acid, formic acid, H₂ and CO₂ as fermentation products which increases ecological, industrial and basic bioenergetics interests in this particularly thermophilic bacterial specie.
Meats -- both canned and processed such as luncheon meat, cold cuts, hot dogs and sausages
In certain foods there are good bacteria or probiotics that are needed. They help boost your immune system and also helps protect against bad bacteria. The different types of foods that contains good types of bacteria are: Yogurts which is fermented dairy products and contains live bacterial cultures, Buttermilk is produced by fermentation as lactic acid bacteria, and also different types of cheese, but only aged cheese have live cultural bacteria. Furthermore, prokaryotes help in the production of sour cream, pickles, olives, vinegar and sourdough bread. Why, because prokaryotes are useful to some food production by converting textures, providing flavors, manufacturing ethanol, and protection from unwanted microbes known as food preservation. Food preservation is a method that is projected to keep microorganisms out of foods, removing microorganisms from contaminated foods, and obstruct the growth and activity of microorganisms already in foods. Also, bacteria breakdown proteins and fats into a complex mix of amino acids amines, and fatty acids, which lead to processing altars, the food product.
Despite of general properties of enzymes, the properties also varies from where it comes from and how it been produced. For instance, the enzymatic saccharification method in lignocellulosic bioethanol is generated by hydrolyzing cellulose and hemicelluloses. This method gets high attention because of its higher theoretical yield compared to other methods (Taneda et al., 2012). Acremonium cellulolyticus with high activities of cellulase, amylase and pectinase enzymes allow it for the easy separation of solids/liquids in potato pulp, resulting in high saccharification efficiency and a high recovery rate of products (Gao et al., 2014). On the other hand, Enzyme-modified carboxymethyl starch (ECMS) is beneficial in enhancing water holding capacity, emulsion stability and improving sensory characteristics of sausages with a declined fat content (Luo and Xu, 2011). Lipases and phospholipases of dormant cotton seeds have stability in heat, various media and nature of the hydrolysis of the lipids properties (Rakhi...
The lac operon is a transcriptional control of lactose metabolism in bacteria. The operon contains three transcriptional genes, lac Z, lac Y and lac A, which encodes for β-galactosidase, permease and transacetylase respectively. Lac P and lac O copes for the lac promoter and the lac operator, essential to the functioning of this operon. β-galactosidase converts lactose to allolatose, while permease allow lactose to be transported into the cell. Transacetylase does not have a role in lactose usage. In the absence of lactose, there is no allolactose, converted from lactose by β-galactosidase, to the active regulatory repressor, and thus the repressor binds to the operator and transcription is inhibited, as the RNA polymerase bound to the promoter is blocked. In the presence of lactose, allolactose binds to the repressor, rendering it inactive and unable to bind to the operator, allowing the transcription of the three structural genes.
Dietary Fiber fermentability also varies due to a high diversity in both physical structure and the chemicals bound between monomers found in the digestive tract (Bindelle et al., 2007). Dietary Fiber that escapes digestion in the upper part of the gastro-intestinal tract, is potentially available for bacterial fermentation in the large intestine. The anaerobic bacteria concentration in the pig gastro-intestinal tract passes thus into the stomach and the small intestine to the large intestine. The intestinal bacteria hydrolyse the polysaccharides composing the Dietary Fiber and metabolise their constituent sugars through a series of anaerobic energy-yielding reactions leading to the production of ATP which is essential for bacteria basal and growth metabolism (Bindelle and Buldgen,
It is impossible to set a date as to the first time fermentation was performed. It is possible, however, to guess, and this guess is roughly 8,000 years ago. Wine has been written about for centuries, in the Greek and Roman myths and scriptures. The Greek god of wine, Dionysius, was in charge of the fermentation atop Mount Olympus. The people of this time may not have known exactly what they were doing, but it was a somewhat complicated procedure. The crushing of grapes, and the storing of their juices led to an amazing beverage that is still used in current society. This process of fermentation was used throughout the time of early Christianity, and other religions, for purposes within sermons. Throughout the Renaissance, fermentation was used in the making of wine as well as bread, not to mention new medical applications. Fermented products were brought to America along with the new settlers. With new government, though, America was put into a prohibition, which did not last long. Today, fermentation processes are carried out nearly perfectly, without too large of variations among the products.
This lab attempted to find the rate at which Carbon dioxide is produced when five different test solutions: glycine, sucrose, galactose, water, and glucose were separately mixed with a yeast solution to produce fermentation, a process cells undergo. Fermentation is a major way by which a living cell can obtain energy. By measuring the carbon dioxide released by the test solutions, it could be determined which food source allows a living cell to obtain energy. The focus of the research was to determine which test solution would release the Carbon Dioxide by-product the quickest, by the addition of the yeast solution. The best results came from galactose, which produced .170 ml/minute of carbon dioxide. Followed by glucose, this produced .014 ml/minute; finally, sucrose which produced .012ml/minute of Carbon Dioxide. The test solutions water and glycine did not release Carbon Dioxide because they were not a food source for yeast. The results suggest that sugars are very good energy sources for a cell where amino acid, Glycine, is not.
Lactic acid have more growth requirements than then normal bacteria since it was evolved in nutrient-rich environments. Lactic acid bacteria have diverse mechanisms for creating the energy needed to support and sustain biological activities. The availability of organic acid in the fruit can be important in allowing growth and metabolism. As lactic acid bacteria have the ability to produce large amount of acids, they often inhibit the development of other bacteria in juices and are able to cause their own autolysis. Excessive clarification and pre treatment of the fruit during the process of sending the fruit to the market which removes many of the natural yeasts and flora. The chemical compsition of juice also affect the rate of fermentation. Fruits generally tend to contain sufficient substrate (soluble sugars)that allow for the yeast and bacteria to fermented , so it can be said that because the fruits used did not show a very high increase in acidity it did not provide a sufficient substrate for the lactic acid bacteria that is present on the fruit to be used for fermentation.Temperature has an impact on the growth and activity of different strains of yeast. At temperatures of

...he results of the yogurt production after 3 days are as follows: the yogurt has a semi-solid texture, acidic smell, and a sour taste indicating that Lactic acid production took place. The wine production results after the same amount of time was as follows: the wine smells slightly of alcohol, the amount of liquid decreased, and some bubbling is still present; the balloon is currently inflated and producing carbon dioxide. Based on these results the ethanol fermentation was also successful. During both of these experiments fermentation took place, in the case of the yogurt the Lactic acid gave the yogurt a tart taste and smell, and in the Ethanol fermentation the wine smelled of alcohol and produced carbon dioxide indicated by the air in the balloon. In conclusion, NADH was oxidized and Lactic acid and ethanol were produced in both experiments through fermentation.
... a weighed Nalgene bottle and spread in a layer on a side of the bottle and then reweighed. A carbon dioxide sensor will be placed on the bottle opening. Using Lab Quest recorder, data will be collected for five minutes. After, the slope of the carbon dioxide production will be indicated and it will be used to calculate the rate of carbon dioxide was produced. The slope that indicates how much carbon dioxide was produced will be converted to milliliters per hour. Then, moles of gas shall be calculated. For 1 mole of carbon dioxide produced, 5.33 moles of ATP was produced (UCR Winter 2014 Bio 05LA Lab Manual: Lab#6, pg.4). The rate will be used to measure the corn seedlings metabolic rate with yeast cells rate after calculations.
...-KLGA three different kind of methods have been used by researchers, In first method which is known as Single-strain processes, strains which belong to genera Gluconobacter, Acetobacter, Ketogulonicigenium, Pseudomonas, Erwinia, and Corynebacterium have been used. (Urbance et al., 2001[11]; Sugisawa et al., 1990[12]; Sonoyamaet al., 1982[13]; Isono et al., 1968[14]). , In the second method mixture of cultures have been used by different researchers (Xu et al., 2004[15]; Nogami et al., 1987[16]), In this method they have used two stage fermentation process in which d-glucose is oxidized to 2,5-diketod-gluconate by Erwinia or Acetobacter strains in the first step while in second step 2,5-diketo-d-gluconate is converted in to 2-KLGA by a strain Corynebacterium. Sonoyama et al. (1982)[17] and in the third method genetically engineered strain have been used[10].
Microbes are major key components in both are homes and industrial food preparation. There are number of lactic acid which is a form of bacteria which is a large group of beneficial bacteria used in certain foods while they are getting prepared such as yogurt, cheese, sour cream, butter milk and other type of fermented milk products. Things such as vinegars are produced by bacterial acetic acid fermentation. Yeast is also major use in the making of beer and wine and also for the leaving of breads. This also involves fermentations to convert corn and other vegetable carbohydrates to also make beer, wine or gasohol but also bacteria is the agents of are other foods. Other fermented foods will include things such as soy sauce, olives and cocoa. (Microbes and human life, 2013) Single cell proteins are known as dried cells of microbes which are used in protein supplement shacks. They are also called “novel food” and “minifood”. The production of this requires micro-organisms which then serve as the protein source and then the substrate which is biomass which they grow on them. There are a number of both these sources that we are able to use for the production of single cell protein (SCP). The micro-organisms used belong to the following groups of Algae, Fungi and bacteria.

Currently, magnitude amounts of waste materials generated from household and industries have become one of the main factors to cause environmental pollution. Especially, as for the leftover food, the portion of leftover food out of total wastes has been continuously increased. Increases in feed cost for animal production motivated to recycle leftover food into animal feed (Cho et al., 2004a). Recycling leftover foods into animal feed has become one of the most important.
