Fish and seafood are generally responsible for infections caused by C. botulinum type E (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1998). Many verified cases of botulism type E have been reported in Japan (166 cases and 58 deaths between 1951 and 1960). In 2003, C. botulinum type E was involved in the outbreak in western Alaska linked to consumption of a beached whale (Anonymous, 2003). Many outbreaks were also associated with a Japanese izuschi dish containing fermented raw fish, vegetables, and cooked and malted rice (okji). In Canada, Alaska, or Scandinavia, botulism is caused by consumption of fish and fermented meat dishes, very often prepared as traditional native dishes (Kotev et ah, 1987 Knubley et ah, 1995). 

At harvest, the grapes must be transferred with caution into a tank, previously filled up with C02. The gas may come from a carbon dioxide cylinder or from another tank containing fermenting must. After vatting, an exogenous supply of C02 must be provided until berry and yeast fermentation produces this gas in sufficient quantities. Initially, the berries absorb variable amounts of C02, depending on the harvest temperature, for example, 50% of the tank volume at 35 °C. This results in an infusion of outside air, delaying the onset of AM. 

Ranch dressings containing fermented dairy products, such as buttermilk, are often a source of wild culmres. These cultures, often heterofermentative Lactobacillus, can cause gassiness and product spoilage. Processing often includes pasteurization of the dairy component. 

Much effort has also been directed toward the development of fully continuous chemostat-type fermentations in which a tank produces a steady stream of enzymes. In this type of operation, product-containing fermentation broth is drawn off while new media is fed to the tank to maintain a constant volume. Reasonable successes with this method have been reported in the biopharmaceutical industry. However, similar examples of successful application of this technique have not yet appeared in the industrial biotechnology literature. 

Pediocin Pediocin is a cationic membrane-permeabilizing antimicrobial peptide of Class Ila. The best-known pediocin is pediocin PA-l/AcH, which is a small antilisterial plasmid-encoded peptide produced by P. acidilactici. Pediocins are commercially traded as bacteriocin-containing fermentative powder by companies such as Kerry Bio-Sciences, Chr. Hansen, and Handary [52, 53] (Table 11.2). Other species such as P. pentosaceus and P. parvulus and strains belonging to Lb. plantarum are also capable of producing this compound [62, 63]. Although pediocin is mainly used in meat products, its production in heterologous hosts is considered an attractive alternative in dairy products [52,141] (Table 11.3). 

Yeast will grow fermentatively in simple media which contain fermentable carbohydrates to supply energy and carbon skeletons for biosynthesis, adequate nitrogen for protein synthesis, mineral salts and one or more growth factors. Yeasts also require molecular oxygen (see Chapters 16, 18 and pp. 604-608, this chapter). 

Genetic modification of the yeast strain has also been investigated to improve bioethanol production using the medium containing fermentation inhibitors. Over-expression of the genes encoding an NADPH-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase led to a yeast strain with over 4-fold increase in HMF consumption. ... 

Therefore, the advancement of diet design enriched with phenolic phytochemicals, LAB, and LAB phenolic phytochemical containing fermented products with enhanced antioxidant function can help combat enviromnent and lifestyle influence oxidation-linked diseases (Ljungh and Wadstrom 2006 McCue and Shetty 2005 Pyo etal. 2006 Havenaar and Veld, 1992). This can lead to consumption of combinations of wide variety of well characterized plant foods, in combination with LAB, for cost-effective prevention and modulation of various ox-...
