Vegetable fermentation ingredients

The bacterial culture converts a portion of the supplied nutrient into vegetative cells, spores, crystalline protein toxin, soluble toxins, exoenzymes, and metabolic excretion products by the time of complete sporulation of the population. Although synchronous growth is not necessary, nearly simultaneous sporulation of the entire population is desired in order to obtain a uniform product. Depending on the manner of recovery of active material for the product, it will contain the insolubles including bacterial spores, crystals, cellular debris, and residual medium ingredients plus any soluble materials which may be carried with the fluid constituents. Diluents, vehicles, stickers, and chemical protectants, as the individual formulation procedure may dictate, are then added to the harvested fermentation products. The materials are used experimentally and commercially as dusts, wettable powders, and sprayable liquid formulations. Thus, a... 

Base notes contribute to the intrinsic taste of culinary products. This can be achieved by using basic savoury ingredients such as meat extract, bone-stock, yeast extract, fermented soy sauce, wheat gluten sauce, vegetable powders, herbs and spices. They provide a complex mixture of taste-active and taste-modifying compounds, some of them still unknown, in a typical and balanced composition. The basic taste can be... 

Lactic fermented plant foods are common in Asian, African and East European societies. These are fermented vegetables such as sauerkraut and kimchi, which are mainly based on spontaneous fermentations dictated by the storage conditions and ingredients used for this fermentation (Jung et al., 2011). 

Sufu could be described as fungal fermented and matured tofu. Sufu is a popular breakfast ingredient in China. It gives flavour and taste to the bland soya milk, vegetables and fried dough of breakfast. The process could be divided in stages preparing... 

A fermented milk product prepared from lowfat milk, skim milk, or whole milk. After fermentation, the yogurt may be mixed with other ingredients such ers nonfat dry milk solids, vegetable gums, flavoring, or fruit preserves. 

Sulfites occur naturally in very small concentrations in the earth and in the atmosphere, and they are a natural ingredient in certain vegetables, foods and beverages as a result of endogenous fermentation by the yeasts in beer and wine (Taylor et al., 1986). Sulfites also occur naturally in the human body (Taylor et al., 1986 Adams, 1997 Food and Drug Administration [FDA], 2000), and they can be found in greater concentrations in natural waters or wastewaters as a result of industrial pollution, and in treatment plant effluents dechlorinated with sulfur dioxide, or as a consequence of volcanic activity, etc.
