Improve aroma and flavour characteristics,Increase its vitamin content or its digestibility compared to the raw materials.
Slide4Biological agents responible in Food Fermentations
Most fermentations require several species, acting simultaneously and/or sequentially to give product with desired properties ,including appearance, aroma, texture and taste.Vinegar production is a joint effort between yeast and acetic acid forming bacteria. The yeast convert sugars to alcohol which is the substrate required by the
Acetobacter to produce acetic acid through oxidation.
Slide5Role of fermenting microorganisms are;
Production of lactic acid, flavor, proteolytic activity, lipolytic activity, organic compounds, prevention of foodborne disease and spoilage, and change in texture of food. The most common groups of microorganisms involved in food fermentations are bacteria, yeasts and molds.
Microbial enzymes also play important role in food fermentations.In general, growth will be initiated by bacteria, fallowed by yeasts and then molds. The smaller microorganisms multiply and take up nutrients from the surrounding area most rapidly. Bacteria are the smallest of microorganisms, fallowed by yeasts and molds. The smaller bacteria, such as
Leuconostoc and Streptcoccus grow and ferment more rapidly than their close relatives.

Slide7Lactic Acid Bacteria(LAB)
İt is loosely defined as all members of fermenting bacteria producing lactic acid from hexoses and lack functional heme-linked electron transport system or cytochromes(no krebs cycle).Lactic acid bacteria compose a group of bacteria that degrade carbohydrate (e.g., fermentation
) with the production of lactic acid. The principle genera of LAB are Lactobacillus,Lactococcus,Leuconostoc,Pediococcus, and Streptoccus(Table 2.2)
Slide8Lactic Acid Bacteria
While this is a loosely defined group with no precise boundaries all members share the property of producing lactic acid from hexoses. As fermenting organisms, they lack functional heme-linked electron transport systems or cytochromes, they do not have a functional Krebs cycle.
Energy is obtained by substrate-level phosphorylation while oxidising carbohydrates.

Slide24Bifidobacterium
They are morpholgically similar to Lactobacillus spp. And are previously included in this gnus.They are Gram positive,rods of various shapes and sizes, present in single cells or in chain.They are nonspore
forming,nonmotile,mesophilic,anaerobic and some can tolerate O2 in the presence of CO2.They grow optimally from 37 to 41 C with grow temp. 25-45 C.They usulally do not grow at pH above 8.0 or below 4.5.They ferment glucose to lactic acid and acetic acid in 2:3 molar ratio without production CO2 .They associate in feces of
humans,animals and birds are beneficial for the normal health of the digestive tract. Bifidobacterium called as probiotics are used in the production of fermented milk products such as yogurt,cheese and kefir.They are present in large numbers in the feces of infants within the 2-3 days after birth.Some of the species are Bif. bifidum,Bif
. longum,Bif. İnfantis, and Bif. adolescentia.

Slide27Yeast
A small number of yeasts is able to grow anaerobically and utilizes sugar to generate energy. The majority of these yeasts also grow aerobically. They have beneficial and non-beneficial effects on foods.Yeasts are unicellular organisms that reproduce
asexulally by budding.Yeasts play important role in food industry as they produce enzymes that cause desirable chemical reactions such as leaving of bread and the production of alcohol and inverting sugar
Slide28S.
cerevisia and its subspecies are used for producing bread,beer,wine,distilled liquor,industrial alcohol,invertase,and give flavor to some foods(e.g.soups).All Saccharomyce strains ferment glucose and many ferment plant associated carbohydrates such as sucrose,
maltose and raffinose but not ferment the lactose.Yeasts associate w,th fermentation of foods to produce alcohol ,enzymes,single cell proteins and additives.A restricted number of yeasts are used in the fermentation. Saccharamyces
spp. are used in the production of bread, wine, champania, alcohol,distilled licor and invertase enzyme.
Slide29Kluyveromyces
marxianus,K. marxianus var. lactis hydrolyse lactose and associate with
natural fermentation along with other yeasts and lactic acid
bacteria in alcoholic dairy products such as kefir and kımız.Yeasts grow at low water
activities in the presence of high concentrations of salt and sugar.
Slide30Candida
utiis used to produce single cell proteins.They can
cause spoilage in foods.Some candida spp are functional in the
production of kefir, cacao,beer and fruit fermented juices.
Slide31Molds
They are aerobic organisms therefore they can nor carry out fermentation but produce extracellular enzymes. These enzymes hydrolyze large organic compounds to smaller units. These smaller compounds are utilized by fermentative bacteria and yeasts.Molds are important n food industry with respect to enzyme producers, spoilers and preservers of foods. Certain molds produce undesirable toxins and cause food spoilage.(The
Aspergillus spp)The genus Penicillium associate with ripening and flavor of cheeses.A. niger is used in the production of citric and gluconic acid,,pectinase
and amylase enzymes from glucose,sucrose and starch.Rhizopus oligosporum is used in te production of tempe.P. roqufortiii is used for ripening of Roquefort,Gorgonzola
and Blue Cheeses, P. camabertii for Camemberti cheese and P. caseicolum for brine cheese.

Slide32Enzymes
Microbial enzymes play a role in the fermentation of food. They are complex proteins produced by living organisms to carry out specific biochemical reactions. They are sensitive to change in temperature, pH, moisture content, ionic strength,
concentrations of substrate and inhibitors.
