Fermented sausage production includes reducing particle size of raw meat, mixing all ingredients, stuffing into casings and ripening (fermentation and aging). Fermented sausages are divided into two groups as dry (slowly-fermented) and semidry (quickly-fermented) sausages. Although the manufacture steps show similarities, they have differentiated in some points. These products rely on both reduced pH and reduced water activity for microbial stability. Water activity ranges for dry and semidry sausages are <25 oC) (Vignolo et al. 2010). Different starter culture combinations could be successfully used for the manufacture of varieties of dry fermented sausages, such as Lb. sakei and Bacillus pumilus in dry fermented sausage (Herranz et al. 2006), …show more content…
xylosus and other species such as St. capitis, St. carnosus, St. cohnii, St. equorum, St. epidermidis, St. haemolyticus, St. lentus, St. pasteuri, St. saprophyticus, St. simulans, St. sciuri, St. succinus, St. vitulinus, St. warneri, Ko. kristinae, Ko. varians and Mic. caseolyticus (Iacumin et al. 2012, Marty et al. 2012). The growth and survival of CNS depend on the degree of acidity during fermentation (Kaban 2013). Benefits of CNS during sausage fermentation include flavor development, typical cured-red color formation and nitrate reduction (Vignolo et al. 2010). Proteolytic and lipolytic activities of CSN contribute to the sensory profile of fermented sausages by the generation of volatile and non-volatile compounds, such as amino acids, amines, free fatty acids, aldehydes, ketons and alcohols (Leroy et al. 2006, Toldrá and Wai-Kit 2008, Fonseca et al. 2013b). The generation of the volatile compounds in fermented sausages depends on the activity of specific starter cultures such as the curing odor linked with 2-pentanone, 2-hexanone and 2-heptanone and connected to the addition of St. carnosus + P. acidilactici, St. carnosus + Lb. sakei or St. carnosus + P. pentosaceus, the butter odor linked with acetoin, diacetyl, 1,3-butanediol and 2,3-butanediol, which are connected to the activity of St. saprophyticus and St. warneri, lower rancidity and over acidity connected with St. saprophyticus and Lb. plantarum, respectively (Leroy et al. 2006, Toldrá and Wai-Kit
The tube was placed back in incubation for 96 more hours to observe any more positives. 2.10 Catalase Test A trypticase soy agar plate was used and after incubation, four drops of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide was added to the plate to flow over the bacterial growth. A presence of bubbling was observed. 2.11 Starch Hydrolysis
Unfortunately, washing their hands before and after work with clean water were a very unusual thing to do. Thus, all the dirt, germ and sweat on their hands that they produced during the day would follow the meat packing process and became products for consumption. Unexpectedly, they would can or make sausage with any type of meat that that was spoiled. The author declared in the book, “Jonas had told them how the meat that was taken out of pickle would often be found sour, and how they would rub it up with soda to take away the smell...giving to any sort of meat, fresh or salted, whole or chopped, any color and any flavor and any odor they chose.” (The Jungle, Sinclair).
The aim of the experiment was to test what effects that ethanol solution has on the membrane permeability of B. Vulgaris. The B. Vulgaris samples were approximately 1cm3. They were kept the same size to ensure accurate results. A control test was conducted in distilled water to obtain a result to compare. The ethanol treatments were 40% and 70%.
There are few vegetables and fruits that turns to the color brown if their surface is exposed to oxygen. Once the veggies or fruits been exposed to oxygen, then the browning begins to appear, and electrons and hydrogen will be removed. This happens because of an enzyme called catechol oxidase. The enzyme will act on its substrate catechol to form a yellow compound which then reacts with the oxygen in the air and change into benzoquinone. The more concentration of the enzyme, the more browning appears.
Unknown #10 produced no identifiable macroscopic characteristics as a broth, so the first step was to Gram stain a loopful to determine the microscopic characteristics. Gram staining not only helped identify Unknown #10’s microscopic morphology but it also helped ensure the specimen was a pure culture—no other bacteria were visible when Unknown #10 was Gram stained and observed under the microscope. Unknown #10’s key microscopic morphology was that it was a very small, Gram negative bacillus. Though bacilli can possibly form endospores, no empty white centers were visible which suggested that Unknown #10 was not an endospore forming bacteria. No quick endospore stain was performed to validate this assumption since only one assigned organism was endospore forming and unlike Unknown #10, that organism was Gram positive.
1% glucose, 1% maltose and 1% lactose all progressively get positive results by changing colours to reddish brown at the end of this experiment. In this case the aldehyde functional group that is present in the products (monosaccharides and some disaccharides) in this reaction is able to reduce copper in the presence of alkali and this produces colour changes while converting to an aldose sugar. Honey is made of fructose and glucose which instantly turned brown after the test-tube was placed in the boiling water because of its active aldehyde and carbonyl group. The copper (II) sulphate present in the Benedict’s solution reacts with electrons from the aldehyde group which results in a redox reaction to from cuprous oxide, a red brown precipitate that seen in all of the above mentioned solutions (Hill, 1982). Beer also gave positive results because it contains aldehydes and ketones (i.e. acetone, trans-2-butenal, furfual) during its beer production process where the sugars are converted through fermentation (Hill, 1982).
Title: How Ph Levels Affected the Fermentation of Beer Hypothesis: The beer will be left with more sugar deposit as the Ph levels increase because alpha/beta -amylase will no longer function. Predictions: Alcohol Percentage Analysis for the Control and the Experimental During this experiment, the pH level was increased, therefore Alpha-Amylase was favored. Due to the nature of Alpha-Amylase cutting randomly through a large carbohydrate molecule, it leaves bigger sugars in the flask, which cannot be digested by yeast. Due to this, less reactions should occur in the experimental, therefore leading to a lower percentage of alcohol production, compared to the control.
Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize the component of strawberry fragrance – methyl trans-cinnamate. This reaction is accomplished by a Fischer esterification of methanol and trans-cinnamic acid refluxed for 1 hour
Vulgaris cell. For this experiment it is hypothesised that exposure to ethanol solution will increase the membrane permeability of the B. Vulgaris cell. Methods The experimental methods were taken from Flinders University (2018). The aim of the experiment was to test what effects that ethanol solution has on the membrane permeability of B. Vulgaris.

Culture and memories are expressed through food. Everyone can identify themselves with a concrete culture and in every group there are numerous food dishes that satisfies one, or brings back peerless memories and feelings only they can relate to. Food itself has meaning attached to it, from the way it is prepared down to the ingredients used. Factors that influence food can be anything from practices and beliefs to the economy and distribution. Culinary traditions are important in helping express cultural identity.
Everyday food Abstract The article discusses the role of food as an instrument of identity and a channel of contact through cultures. This is discussed drawing from three cases of Italian food culture hybridization spanning from the early 20th century to the first decade of the 2000s: the role of Italian food in Italian-American identity as depicted in Leonardo Coviello’s work; the meeting of Southern and Northern food cultures following the Italian internal migrations in the ‘50s and ‘60s; the food practices of international migrants in the context of the global flows of people and commodities in present day Italy. In this regard, food plays an essential role in the rebuilding of a familiar context in which migrants can feel temporarily
What is Processed Food? The term ‘processed food’ applies to any food that has been changed from its natural state in some way, either for safety reasons or convenience. Some foods need processing to make them safe, such as milk, which needs to be pasteurized to remove harmful bacteria. Other foods need processing to make them suitable for use, such as pressing seeds to make oil.
Joshua Miller 12/18/17 Fermentation Lab report Introduction The term fermentation refers to the chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or other microorganisms, typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat (wikipedia). Sugars are converted to ethyl alcohol when fermentation happens. In this experiment we determined if yeast cells undergo fermentation when placed in a closed flask with no oxygen. Glucose and yeast are mixed together in a closed flask and allowed to incubate for about one hour.
