Sourdough and cereal-based foods: traditional and innovative products
2017
Cereals represent the main crop of the five continents and contribute greatly to the diet of several populations. Cereals often undergo a fermentation before eating. This process is fundamental to confer high sensory quality, as well as to preserve and enhance the nutritional and safety aspects of the resulting products. Fermented cereal based foods are complex microbial ecosystems, mainly represented by lactic acid bacteria and yeasts. Among these products, sourdough is worldwide applied to produce breads. Sourdough technology is also used to improve the final characteristics of fortified and gluten–free breads. This chapter focuses on the use of cereals to produce the most relevant fermen…
Nutritional and microbiological quality of tiger nut tubers (Cyperus esculentus), derived plant-based and lactic fermented beverages
2018
International audience; Tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus) is a tuber that can be consumed raw or processed into beverages. Its nutritional composition shows a high content of lipid and dietary fiber, close to those of nuts, and a high content of starch, like in other tubers. Tiger nuts also contain high levels of phosphorus, calcium, and phenolic compounds, which contribute to their antioxidant activity. From those characteristics, tiger nuts and derived beverages are particularly relevant to limit food insecurity in regions where the plant can grow. In Europe and United States, the tiger nut derived beverages are of high interest as alternatives to milk and for gluten-free diets. Fermentation…
Biotechnological innovations in fermentation process of brewing and honey-based beverages industry
2022
La ricerca di microrganismi fermentanti in grado di migliorare le proprietà microbiologiche, fisiche, chimiche, sensoriali e organolettiche delle bevande alcoliche fermentate come vino, birra, idromele, sidro, è considerata ad oggi un punto chiave per lo sviluppo del settore. Negli ultimi anni, l'aumento della domanda al consumo di nuove bevande fermentate ha causato un enorme bisogno di tecnologie di produzione innovative al fine di ottenere diverse tipologie di prodotti caratterizzati da proprietà sensoriali peculiari. Per raggiungere tale obiettivo, l’impiego di nuovi microrganismi, sia fermentanti che non fermentanti, in grado di conferire al prodotto caratteristiche organolettiche pecu…
Contribution à l'étude des « goûts de lumière » dans le vin de champagne. II. Influence de la lumière sur le potentiel d'oxydoreduction. Corrélation …
1978
<p style="text-align: justify;">Les auteurs déterminent les potentiels d'oxydoréduction de nombreux vins de champagne avant et après la prise de mousse. Ils précisent la relation, par éclairement de vins dégorgés et non dégorgés, entre l'apparition de « goût de lumière » et le potentiel d'oxydoréduction. Ils donnent les longueurs d'onde responsables des « goûts de lumière ».</p><p style="text-align: justify;">+++</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The oxydoreduction potentials are determined for a number of wines of champagne before and after the second prise de mousse fermentation. By illuminating disgorged and non disgorged wines, the authors of this article …
Chemical Transfers Occurring Through
2019
Chardonnay wine malolactic fermentations were carried out to evaluate the chemical transfers occurring at the wood/wine interface in the presence of two different bacterial lifestyles. To do this, Oenococcus oeni was inoculated into must and wine in its planktonic and biofilm lifestyles, whether adhering or not to oak chips, leading to three distinct enological conditions: (i) post-alcoholic fermentation inoculation in wine in the absence of oak chips, (ii) post-alcoholic fermentation inoculation in wine in the presence of oak chips, and (iii) co-inoculation of both Saccharomyces cerevisiae and O. oeni directly in Chardonnay musts in the presence of oak chips. Classical microbiological and …
Challenges Associated with Byproducts Valorization—Comparison Study of Safety Parameters of Ultrasonicated and Fermented Plant-Based Byproducts
2020
In order to promote the efficient use of byproducts from the production of plant-based beverages, which still contain a large amount of nutritional and functional compounds, microbiological and chemical safety characteristics should be evaluated and, if needed, improved. Many challenges are associated with byproducts valorization, and the most important ones, which should be taken into account at the further steps of valorization, are biological and chemical safety. For safety improving, several technological treatments (biological, physical etc.) can be used. In this study, the influence of low-frequency ultrasonication (US) and fermentation with Lactobacillus casei LUHS210 strain, as phys…
Incidence de la clarification des moûts de raisin sur les fermentescibilltés alcoolique et malolactique
1993
<p style="text-align: justify;">Des essais de débourbage en vinification en blanc, réalisés de 1988 à 1992, mettent en évidence le rôle important joué par la teneur en macromolécules solubles dans le moût de raisin. Les moûts de faible turbidité conduisent en effet à des fermentations alcooliques lentes en relation avec de faibles populations levuriennes. Il est également confirmé que la libération de polysaccharides exocellulaires par les levures au cours de la fermentation alcoolique est d'autant plus élevée que le moût de départ a été fortement appauvri en colloïdes de raisin. Par contre, ce sont dans les lots les plus clarifiés que l'on observe la meilleure fermentescibilité malol…
Microbial resources and sparkling wine differentiation : state of the arts
2022
Consumers’ increasing interest in sparkling wine has enhanced the global market’s demand. The pro-technological yeasts strains selected for the formulation of microbial starter cultures are a fundamental parameter for exalting the quality and safety of the final product. Nowadays, the management of the employed microbial resource is highly requested by stakeholders, because of the increasing economic importance of this oenological sector. Here, we report an overview of the production processes of sparkling wine and the main characterisation criteria to select Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces strains appropriate for the preparation of commercial starter cultures dedicated to the primary a…
Spatial Succession for Degradation of Solid Multicomponent Food Waste and Purification of Toxic Leachate with the Obtaining of Biohydrogen and Biomet…
2022
A huge amount of organic waste is generated annually around the globe. The main sources of solid and liquid organic waste are municipalities and canning and food industries. Most of it is disposed of in an environmentally unfriendly way since none of the modern recycling technologies can cope with such immense volumes of waste. Microbiological and biotechnological approaches are extremely promising for solving this environmental problem. Moreover, organic waste can serve as the substrate to obtain alternative energy, such as biohydrogen (H2) and biomethane (CH4). This work aimed to design and test new technology for the degradation of food waste, coupled with biohydrogen and biomethane prod…
THE INFLUENCE OF THIAMINE IN THE FERMENTATION OF THE WINE YEASTS
2011
Due to the enzymatic equipment, the yeast cell produces alcoholic fermentation by the meaning of a zimazic complex which catalyzes in different stages the redox processes of the carbohydrates, which are able to ferment, ultimately leading to ethanol. The fermentation rate is an exponential function being influenced by the cells concentration in the development environment and the starter cultures of micro-organisms. Most of the yeast strains do ferment some substrates rich in hexosanes and oligoglucides: sucrose, maltose, raffinose, lactose and celobiose. The biomass quantity may be increased in various ways. An important aspect in the increasing of the multiplication rate of the yeast cell…
