Fermented products are: Fermented products are those whose production involves the action of microorganisms or enzymes which cause desirable biochemical changes and significant modification to the food.
Fermentation processes: • Lactic acid • Alcoholic • Acetic acid • Propionic acid
Fermented foods • Beverages • Dairy products • Cereals • Meat and fish • Fruits and vegetables
Beverages Beer Wine Sake Cider spirits
Dairy products Cheese Yoghurt Kefir Kurut
Cereals Breads Rolls dosa, idli, adai, vada (cereals & legumes) lao-chao, kenkey, ogi injera
Meat and Fish Jerky, country ham, salami, pepperoni pickled meat fish sauce, paak, bagoong
Fruits & vegetables Pickled fruits & vegetables olives sauerkraut
Contribution of the fermented foods: • Enrichment of the human dietary • preservation of substantial amounts of food • enrichment of nutritional value of food (vitamins, proteins, essential amino acids etc] • detoxification of food (flatulence-causing sugars, lectins, phytates etc] • a decrease the cooking time and fuel requirements
Preservation principle: To hinder (delay) the growth of food spoilage microorganisms
Alcoholic fermentation: Simple sugars yeasts > ethanol Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Yeasts involve in fermentation should possess: • Rapid and relevant carbohydrate fermentation ability; • appropriate flocculation and sedimentation characteristics; • genetic stability; • osmotolerance
Yeasts involve in fermentation should possess: • ethanol tolerance • ability to produce elevated concentration of ethanol; • high cell viability for recycling; • temperature tolerance.
Alcoholic fermentation is affected by: • Oxygen supply • sugar content • alcohol content • temperature
Alcoholic fermentation: • Unlimited oxygen supply - cell growth • Limited oxygen supply - alcohol production
Beer A diluted solution of ethanol with a characteristic flavour arising from the use of malt as predominant source of carbohydrates and other yeast nutrients and hops as a source of bitter components.
Kinds of beer • Lager - produced by bottom fermen- ting yeasts ( Saccharomyces uvarum) . • Ale - produced by top fermenting yeasts ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae)
Production of beer: • Malting • Mashing • Boiling of wort with hops • Fermentation • Storage
Malting (preparation of malt): • Soaking barley grains in water at 10-15 0C • Germination of barley grains at 16-21 0C for 5-7 days • Separation germs and sprouts • Crushing the malt
Mashing (preparation of wort) • Mixing malt with water at 38-50 0C (protein hydrolysis) • Saccharafication of malt at 65-70 0C (hydrolysis of starches to simple sugars) • Inactivation of enzymes at 75 0C • Separation of insoluble materials.
Boiling of wort with hops is done to: • concentrate it • sterilize it • inactivate enzymes • extract soluble substances from hops • coagulate and precipitate proteins • contribute antiseptic resins: humulone, cohumulone, adhumulone.
Fermentation of beer • Pitching (inoculation)- 1lbs of yeasts per barrel of wort • Lager beer is fermented at 7-15 0C • Ale beer is fermented at 18-22 0C • Fermentation - 9 days • At the end of fermentation yeasts are skimmed (top-fermenting) or are cropped (bottom-fermenting).
Storage and packaging • after fermentation beer is stored (lagered) at 0 C (several weeks to several months) • clarified or filtered • pasteurized at 60 C shortly • carbonated to CO2 content 0.45-0.52% • packaged to cans or bottles.
Beer defects (off flavour) may be due to: • butyric (Clostridium sp.) or lactic acid fermentation during mashing process. • Inoculum contaminated with wild yeasts or lactic acid bacteria. - Yeasts may produce off flavor. -Bacteria may produce sour taste and/or silky turbitidy.
WINES Products obtained by alcoholic fermentation of grapes, grape juices, fruit juices, berries, rhubarb, honey etc by yeasts.
Kinds of wines • still wines • sparkling wines • artificially carbonated wines
Kinds of wines • Dry vs. sweet wines • Unfortified vs. fortified wines • Red vs. white wines • Grape vs. fruit wines • Table vs. dessert wines
Steps involve in fermentation of wine: • Preparation of must (grape juice, crushed grapes, fruit juice]. • inoculation of must with wine yeasts (2-5% ]. • aeration of must to encourage the growth of yeasts and to facilitate the extraction of pigments from a skin (mixing must twice a day ].
Steps involve in fermentation of wine: • Active fermentation: - red wines 24 -27 0C; 3-5 days; - white wines 10-21 0C; 7-14 days; • separation of fermented juice from residue (pomace); • placing fermented juice under light CO2 pressure • secondary fermentation: 21-29 0C, 7-11 days. • aging of wines.
Problem solving Calculate the% [w/w] of EtOH in wine. Assume that at fermentation starting point 30 kg of must contained 26% of sucrose. The fermentation ceased at 2% concentration of sugar. The yield of conversion of sugar to ethanol was 94%.
Calculation steps: C6 H12O6 2 C2 H2 OH + 2 C02 1. Calculate the amount of sugar in must. M1 = 30 * 0.26 = 7.8 kg
Calculation steps: 2. Calculate the final weight of must (M) at the end of fermentation process. M = M0 - M2 + M3 M0 - initial weight of must; M2 - weight of fermented sugar; M3- weight of produced alcohol.
Calculation steps: 3. Calculate the weight of sugar in wine. M4 = M * 0.02 4. Calculate the weight of sugar fermen- ted to alcohol. M2 = (7.8 - M4 ) * 0.94
Calculation steps: 5. Calculate the weight of produced alcohol. C6 H12O6 2 C2 H2 OH + 2 C02 180 92 M2 M3 --------------------------------- M3 = 92 * M2 /180 = 92 * ( 7.8 - M4)/180 = 92 * ( 7.8 - M * 0.02) * 0.94/180
Calculation steps: 6. Calculate the final weight of wine (M) M = M0 - M2 + M3 M = 30 - (7.8 - 0.02*M)+ + 92*(7.8 - 0.02*M) *0.94/180 M = 26.22 kg of wine
Calculation steps: 7. Calculate the weight of produced ethanol. M3 = 92 * (7.8 - 26.22 *0.02) * 0.94/180 M3 = 3.495 kg of ethanol
Calculation steps: 8. Calculate [ % ; w/w) of ethanol in wine. [%] = M3/M * 100 [%] = 3.495/26.22 *100 [%] = 13.3%
Factors affecting the wine spoilage: • Acidity - the lower the pH the less likely the wine will spoil. Molds, yeasts, acetic acid bacteria would not be stopped by any pH normal to wines: most wines - pH 3.5-4.0; • Sugar content < 0.1%; • Ethanol content . 14% • Temperature - spoilage most rapid at 20-30 oC.
Production of ethanol • Starch pretreatment: -gelatinization, -liquefaction, -saccharification • Fermentation • Distillation
Lactic Acid Fermentation • Lactobacilli • Streptococci (dairy streptococci) • Pediococci • Leuconostocs
Benefits from Lactic Acid Fermentation • Alteration of flavour, texture, and appearance • enhancement of nutritional value • retardation of food spoilage and reduction of microbial contamination • probiotic effect- prolongation of life: (Metchnikoff 1908) due to lactase, metabolism of dietary cholesterol, detoxification of potential carcinogens.

Are fermented foods safer than fresh foods? • Cases of microbial food-borne infection have been reported in association with fresh cheese, sausages, fermented fish and fermented cereals. • Cases of microbial food intoxications due to mycotoxin contaminated raw material, production of microbial toxins, production of mycotoxins by fungal have been reported. • Toxic by-products (ethyl carbamate and biogenic amines) may be produced.
Toxic by-products of fermenta tion: • Ethyl Carbamate: a carcinogenic and mutagenic compound which results from the esterification of ethanol with carbamic acid (NH2COOC2H5- also known as urethane) • Biogenic amines - a mildly toxic substances. 100-200 ppm; >1000ppm is supposed to elicit toxicity.
Major risk enhancing factors: • Use of contaminated raw materials. • Lack of pasteurization. • Poorely controlled natural fermentations. • Sub-optimal fermentation starters. • Inadequate storage and maturation conditions. • Consumption without prior cooking
How can these risk be minimized • By ensuring wholesomeness of raw materials. • Optimization of starter cultures by conventional selection and mutation or by recombinant DNA manipulations. • Good hygienic practices during manufactu- ring • Adequate storage
