Cards

Term
What is rennin?
Definition
  • special protease that splits casein
  • allows coagulation and formation of curds
  • obtained from stomach lining of calves
Term

One Step Fermentations

by Microbes 

that produce Extracellular Hydrolases

Definition
  • molds and Bacillus
  • product is more susceptible to spoilage
    • more soluble nutrients
  • increased digestibility; decreased stability
Term

Tempeh

(Mold Fermentation)

Definition
  • fermented by Rhizopus (mold)
Term

Natto Fermentation

Definition
  • fermented by Bacillus subtilis
  • mass of beans held together by sticky polymer
    • synthesized by bacteria
Term

Soy Sauce

Complex Fermentation

 

Koji development

Definition
  • wheat/beans heated and soaked
  • inoculated w/Aspergillus oryzae or Aspergillus soyae
  • resulting mash: increased conc of soluble nutrients
Term

Soy Sauce

Complex Fermentation

 

Moromi formulation
Definition
  • koji soaked in salt --> moromi
  • moromi inoculated w/salt tolerant yeast
    • Saccharommyces rouxii
  • salt-tolerant LAB
    • Lactobacillus delbruckii
    • Pediococcus soyae
  • Aspergillus -> Saccharomyces -> LAB
Term
Vanilla Curing/Conditioning
Definition
  • lactic acid bacteria hydrolyze glucosides
    • glucovanillin
Term
Coffee Fermentation
Definition
  • Erwinia present on the drying fruit
  • pectin is released and supports growth of LAB
Term
Cocoa
Definition
  • inoculated by natural MOs and action of fruit files
  • Bacillus and/or molds break down pulp structure
    • create soluble sugars and organic acids
  • sugars metabolized by yeast and LAB
    • yeast produce ETOH/CO2
    • LAB produce lactic/acetic acid
Term
Lactic Acid Bacteria Fermentation
Definition
  • ubiquitous flora of animals and plants
  • strictly fermentative -> rely on free sugars as substrate
  • microaerophils
  • lactic acid always major product
Term
Diacetyl
Definition
  • key flavor in sour cream
  • produced by LAB fermentation
Term
Acetaldehyde
Definition
  • key flavor in yogurt
  • produced by LAB fermentation
Term

 

Aspergillus flavus

Definition
  • fungus
  • causes liver damage following brief but high exposure
  • cause cancer following low but long term exposure
  • causes food-borne intoxication
Term

 

Enterotoxigenic E. coli

ETEC

Definition
  • contains plasmid for enterotoxin
  • 2 different enterotoxins
    • one is nearly identical to cholera toxin
      • less efficiently secreted
    • both cause gastroenteritis
  • incub 16-48 hrs, dur 1-2 days
  • most common form of traveler's diarrhea
Term

 

Enterohemolytic E. coli

EHEC

Definition
  • toxin isnearly identical to Shiga toxin
    • causes dysentery symptoms and kidney disease
  • may cause Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS)
  • incub 3-4 days, dur 3-7 days, sometimes longer
  • reservoir undercooked beef
Term

 

EIEC

Definition

 

Enteroinvasive E. coli
