Effect of Levilactobacillus brevis TISTR 860 and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum TISTR 951 on gamma-aminobutyric acid content in fermented rice flour and rice noodles (Kanomjeen)

This research aimed to reduce the fermentation time of fermented rice flour for fermented rice noodles (Kanomjeen) to 24 h by adding the initial starter cultures, which are Levilactobacillus brevis TISTR 860 (LB) and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum TISTR 951 (LP) alone in rice slurry to achieve the quality and high gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) content. The initial pH value of rice slurry was adjusted to 4.5 and enriched with 2% of monosodium glutamate (MSG) before fermentation. LP was able to produce lactic acid and reduced pH better than LB but produced GABA in less content. Expanding fermentation time induced decreasing in viscosity and whiteness of flour. Fermented rice noodles provided better tensile strength and elasticity. In conclusion, LB could produce GABA in the amount of 21.80 mg/100 g dry basis in 24 h with good quality.

Multi‐Cereal Beverage Fermented by Lactobacillus Helveticus and Saccharomyces Cerevisiae

A novel multi‐cereal‐based fermented beverage with suitable aroma, flavor, and pH fermented by lactic acid bacteria and Saccharomyces cerevisiae was developed. Twenty‐seven lactobacilli strains were screened for acid production (pH and titratable acidity) in a mixture of malt, rice, and maize substrates. It was found that Lactobacillus helveticus KLDS1.9204 had the greatest acid production among 27 lactobacilli tested. The fermentation performance of L. helveticus KLDS1.9204 was also assayed and the fermentation parameters were optimized using Plackett–Burman design and steepest ascent method. L. helveticus KLDS1.9204 showed good proteolytic capability, however, the strain could not utilize starch. The optimum substrate consisted of 50% malt (25 g/100 mL), 25% rice (20 g/100 mL), and 25% maize (30 g/100 mL). The inoculum was 5% with a ratio of S. cerevisiae to L. helveticus KLDS1.9204 of 2.5:1. The optimum temperature was 37 °C and the time was 22 h. Lastly, the quality of the multi‐cereal‐based fermented beverage was evaluated. This beverage was light yellow, transparent, and it tasted well with a pleasant acid and a unique flavor of cereals. The beverage was rich in free amino acids and organic acids. The pH and titratable acidity of the beverage were 3.5 and 29.86 °T, respectively. The soluble solids content of the beverage was 6.5 °Brix, and the alcohol content was 0.67%.     

Boza: A lactic acid fermented cereal beverage as a traditional Turkish food

Consumption of lactic acid fermented foods is common in many mid-Asian, Middle East, and African countries. These products have many advantages such as destroying undesirable factors in the raw products, reducing the volume of the material, and providing a safer product. Besides improving organoleptic quality by fermentation, they are also superior in digestibility and nutritive value compared to their unfermented counterparts.

Boza is a traditional Turkish beverage made by yeast and lactic acid bacteria fermentation of millet, cooked maize, wheat, or rice semolina/flour. The name, boza, in Turkish comes from the Persian word, buze, meaning millet. However, the Turks who lived in Middle Asia called this beverage bassoi. There are also similar beverages produced in East European countries (braga or brascha), the Balkans (busa), and Egypt (bouza). In the past, boza has been produced and consumed with slight differences in the recipe in the Turkish countries. Boza is made of various kinds of cereals (usually millet, maize, and wheat), but boza of the best quality and taste is made of millet flour. In the Balkans, such as Bulgaria, cocoa is also included in the boza recipe. Boza produced in Egypt has high alcohol content (up to 7% by volume) and is consumed as beer. Because of its lactic acid, fat, protein, carbohydrate, and fiber contents, it is a valuable fermented food that contributes to human nutrition.     

Dextrin,sugar and organic acid profiles of spontaneous and modified gowe: a malted and fermented sorghum beverage from Benin

Gowé is a traditional Beninese fermented red sorghum beverage made from a blend of malted and precooked nonmalted flour. The main objective of this work was to evaluate the degradation of starch during the production of gowé and to characterise the organic acid and sugar profiles of the product obtained using starter cultures. Inoculation was performed with strains of Lactobacillus fermentum or Weissella confusa and of Kluyveromyces marxianus or Pichia anomala used singly or in combination. Size exclusion chromatography revealed that starch was hydrolysed into high molecular weight dextrins (DP over 35), oligosaccharides and glucose, mainly due to the malting and precooking steps. Glucose was the main free sugar, and lactic acid was the main organic acid. The choice of the inoculation strain directly influenced the acidity but also indirectly the sugar content of the resulting gowé and will thus affect consumer acceptability.

Effect of fermentation metabolites on rheological and sensory properties of fermented rice noodles

BACKGROUND: Considering the effect of natural fermentation on the textural improvement of fermented rice noodles in China and South Asia, and given the lack of reports concerning the roles of fermentation metabolites (enzymes, organic acids, glucose and maltose), this study aims to determine fermentation metabolites produced during fermentation of raw milled rice grains, and investigate their effects on rheological and sensory properties of rice noodles. RESULTS: α‐Amylase activity was correlated with reducing sugar content significantly in the supernatant during fermentation process (r = 0.76, P < 0.05). Lactic acid was the dominant organic acid produced by fermentation. Protein and lipid content decreased significantly by fermentation. Treating the rice grains with trypsin, lipase or lactic acid could modify the rheological characteristics and improve the sensory properties of rice noodles. Removal of protein and lipid by physical extraction confirmed the results. The residue of glucose and maltose in rice flour weakened the noodle texture. CONCLUSIONS: Fermentation of raw milled rice decreased protein and lipid content, increased the purity of rice starch, and thus improved the texture of fermented rice noodles. The low molecule weight sugars produced during fermentation should be removed for their negative effect on texture. Copyright © 2008 Society of Chemical Industry

Characterization of anti-listerial lactic acid bacteria isolated from Thai fermented fish products

Thai fermented fish products were screened for lactic acid bacteria capable of inhibitingListeriasp. (Listeria innocua). Of 4150 assumed lactic acid bacteria colonies from MRS agar plates that were screened by an agar-overlay method 58 (1.4%) were positive. Forty four of these strains were further characterized and 43 strains were inhibitory againstListeria monocytogenes. The strains were inhibitory to other Gram-positive (lactic acid) bacteria probably because of production of bacteriocins. All 44 strains inhibited bothVibrio choleraeandVibrio parahaemolyticusand 37 were inhibitory to a mesophilic fish spoilage bacterium (anAeromonassp.). Inhibition of Gram-negative bacteria was attributed to production of lactic acid. Most strains were identified asLactobacillusspp., and all grew well at ambient temperatures (25–37°C) and tolerated up to 6.5% NaCl. Glucose was fermented rapidly in laboratory media whereas pH decreased only very slowly in fish juice supplemented with 4% glucose and 3.5% NaCl or in a rice–fish mixture. Only four of 44 isolates could degrade and ferment complex carbohydrates such as rice, potatoes and maize starch. This indicates that other types of bacteria may be responsible for the rapid spontaneous fermentation of the products or that other yet-unknown factors ensure rapid fermentation. Overall anti-listerial lactic acid bacteria do occur in fermented fish products and the antibacterial activity against pathogenic bacteria indicates that they may be important in product safety.     

Identification of Acetobacter strains from Thai fermented rice products based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence and 16S-23S rRNA gene internal transcribed spacer restriction analyses

BACKGROUND: Fermented rice flour (khao‐khab, a non‐glutinous rice) and related products are Thai traditional products. The types of acetic acid bacteria (AAB) microflora in khao‐khab have not been reported. In this study, Acetobacter strains were isolated and identified based on the phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics and molecular aspects. RESULTS: Twenty‐five acetic acid bacteria isolated from fermented rice products and a starter for sweetened rice in Thailand by an enrichment culture approach, were assigned to the genus Acetobacter by phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characterisations. On the basis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence and 16S–23S rRNA gene ITS restriction analyses, 25 isolates were divided into six groups and identified at the specific level: (1) Group 1 included five isolates, which were identified as A. indonesiensis; (2) Group 2 included two isolates, which were identified as A. lovaniensis; (3) Group 3 included one isolate, which was identified as A. orientalis; (4) Group 4 included eleven isolates, which were identified as A. pasteurianus; (5) Group 5 included three isolates, which were identified as A. syzygii and (6) Group 6 included three isolates, which were unidentified and considered to constitute a new species. CONCLUSION: Results revealed that various Acetobacter species were distributed in Thai fermented rice flour and related products. A novel Acetobacter species was isolated from the product.

Comparison of PCR‐DGGE and PCR‐SSCP analysis for bacterial flora of Japanese traditional fermented fish products,aji‐narezushi and iwashi‐nukazuke

BACKGROUND: The bacterial flora of two Japanese traditional fermented fish products, aji‐narezushi (salted and long‐fermented horse mackerel (Trachurus japonicas) with rice) and iwashi‐nukazuke (salted and long‐fermented sardine (Sardinops melanostica) with rice bran), was analysed using non‐culture‐based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and culture‐based PCR single‐strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) methods. RESULTS: Viable plate counts in aji‐narezushi and iwashi‐nukazuke were about 6.3–6.6 and 5.7–6.9 log colony‐forming units g^?1 respectively. In the PCR‐DGGE analysis, Lactobacillus acidipiscis was detected as the predominant bacterium in two of three aji‐narezushi samples, while Lactobacillus versmoldensis was predominant in the third sample. By the PCR‐SSCP method, Lb. acidipiscis and Lactobacillus plantarum were isolated as the predominant bacteria, while Lb. versmoldensis was not detected. The predominant bacterium in two of three iwashi‐nukazuke samples was Tetragenococcus muriaticus, while Tetragenococcus halophilus was predominant in the third sample. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that the detection of some predominant lactic acid bacteria species in fermented fish by cultivation methods is difficult.

Inferring the role of microorganisms in water kefir fermentations

Water kefir is a slightly alcoholic, lactic and acetic beverage fermented by yeasts, lactic acid bacteria and acetic acid bacteria that are associated with the polysaccharide of the water kefir grains. In this study, the three main metabolic products of microorganisms were evaluated during a traditional 192‐h water kefir fermentation and also after inoculating the microorganisms in fresh medium or sterilised broth from different fermentation stages. The first process to occur was alcoholic fermentation, carried out in particular by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. After 24 h, lactic and acetic acid accumulation was generated by Lactobacillus hilgardii and Acetobacter tropicalis. By the end of fermentation, ethanol had been almost entirely consumed and oxidised to acetic acid, possibly by a dissimilatory route of Acetobacter species. An original hypothetical diagram is proposed for the carbon flux from sucrose, and the metabolic role of the main yeasts and bacteria is assigned for the distinct stages of water kefir fermentation.     

Production and antioxidant activity of alcoholic beverages made from various cereal grains using Monascus purpureus NBRC 5965

Monascus sp., which produces red pigments, has been utilized for brewing red alcoholic beverages and fermented foods in China and Okinawa, Japan. Novel red alcoholic beverages with antioxidant activity were made from cereal grains of various colours utilizing the saccharifying activity of Monascus purpureus NBRC 5965. The alcoholic beverage made from black rice and beni koji prepared with M. purpureus NBRC 5965 showed a deep red colour, and the DPPH radical scavenging activity of the alcoholic beverage made from black rice and beni koji was around a 3300 µm Trolox equivalent/mL‐beverage. The antioxidant activity of this alcoholic beverage is thought to be a result of the combination of Monascus pigments and black rice anthocyanin. The DPPH radical scavenging activity and inhibitory activity of lipid peroxidation of an alcoholic beverage made with beni koji were higher than those of an alcoholic beverage made with ki koji prepared with Aspergillus oryzae.

Studies concerning the use of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Lactobacillus helveticus</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Kluyveromyces marxianus</Emphasis> for rye sourdough fermentation

The aim of this study was to investigate the fermentation behaviour, antioxidant activity and rheological behaviour of the sourdoughs prepared with Lactobacillus helveticus and Kluyveromyces marxianus. The final acidity of the sourdough after 18 h of fermentation was higher at higher temperatures (40 °C) and for the formulations with whole rye flour. The highest lactic/acetic acid ratios were obtained in case of more fluid sourdoughs fermented at 40 °C. The antioxidant properties of the sourdoughs are correlated with metabolic activity of the microorganisms, the DPPH radical scavenging activity being higher for optimum conditions of Lactobacillus helveticus growth. On the other hand, the rheological properties of the sourdoughs are not significantly influenced by the temperature. Sourdoughs formulations with whole flour are more viscous, as well as the controls fermented by the spontaneous microflora. The results of the bread-making process simulation by means of Mixolab indicate differences between dough formulations mainly depending on flour type.     

Effect of Select Parameters of the Sourdough Rye Fermentation on the Activity of Some Mixed Starter Cultures

The effect of select parameters (i.e., rye flour ash content, temperature, and dough yield) of the sourdough fermentation on the fermentation activity of different starter cultures (lactic acid bacteria Lactococcus lactis ssp. Lactis, Weissella confusa, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus helveticus, and yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus subsp. Marxianus) was determined. The major metabolic end products of fermentation (D, L-lactic acid, acetic acid, ethanol and glycerol) and the evolution of total phenolic content and folic acid during bread making were measured. Lactobacillus helveticus and Kluyveromyces marxianus allowed obtaining sourdoughs with the highest lactic acid/acetic acid ratios. The mixed starter culture with Lactococcus lactis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae generated the most important quantities of D/L lactic acid. The maximum values of ethanol concentration were obtained in case of the sourdoughs from whole rye flour fermented at lower temperature (30°C) with mixed starter cultures containing Sacchomyces cerevisiae. The fermentation process and type of starter culture are also tools to increase the bioactive compounds, enabling the increase of the phenolic content of the sourdough.     

Fatty acid composition of traditional fermented and unfermented Turkish corn bread with the emphasis on<Emphasis Type="Italic"> trans</Emphasis> fatty acids

Dietary fat continues to be a major research priority because of its association with heart disease, cancer and other chronic diseases. On the other hand emerging data suggest that trans fatty acids may raise blood levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol to much the same extent as saturated fatty acids. In this research cis and trans fatty acid composition of unfermented and fermented corn bread as well as flour used in the recipe, and dough samples were determined. Unfermented bread samples were made of corn flour, and fermented breads were made of corn flour-wheat flour mix (1/1) by the traditional straight dough method. Samples, including flour, dough and bread, were analysed by capillary gas-liquid chromatography for their fatty acid compositions. According to the results obtained, unfermented and fermented bread dough have the same fatty acid composition as the flour used in the recipe. Dough fermentation did not effect the fatty acid composition of corn bread. However, fatty acid composition changed slightly in the baked bread. The levels of palmitic, stearic and oleic acid increased, and those of linoleic, linolenic, arachidic and eicosenoic acids decreased, compared to flour and dough. Trans linolenic acid was also detected in both unfermented and fermented corn bread at a level of 0.1%. Slight changes in the fatty acid composition and formation of trans linolenic acid were a result of baking temperature.
