What is Production Media? Production media, often associated with the fermentation industry, plays a crucial role in the cultivation of specific strains for the purpose of generating either microbial cells or biochemical products. This media, essentially a growth environment, is meticulously formulated to support the development and productivity of designated microbial strains under controlled conditions. … Read more
Types of Wine Depending on the type of grape, yeast strain, fermentation process, etc., there are a variety of wines. There are so many differences amongst them that it becomes impossible to classify them accurately. However, the following are notable wine varieties: 1. Red wines 2. Dry wines 3. Sweet wines 4. Sparkling wines 5. … Read more
What Are Enzymes? Structure of Enzyme Enzymes Classification Historically, enzymes were given names based on their discoverer. With additional study, classification grew more exhaustive. The International Union of Biochemists (IUB) classifies enzymes into six functional classes based on the sort of reaction they catalyse. Hydrolases, oxidoreductases, lyases, transferases, ligases, and isomerases are the six types … Read more
Many variables can affect the fermentation process of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) starters, including temperature, pH, strain capability, growth medium, inhibitors, bacteriophage, incubation period, heat treatment of milk, etc. To achieve the best activity of lactic acid bacteria during the manufacturing of fermented milks, caution is required. The following parameters significantly affect the growth and … Read more
Dr. K. Ikeda, a Japanese scientist, extracted glutamic acid from kelp, a marine alga, by means of acid hydrolysis and separation in 1908. In addition, he observed that when glutamic acid was neutralised with caustic soda, it acquired a totally new, exquisite flavour. This marked the beginning of using monosodium glutamate (MSG) as a flavour … Read more
What is Vitamin B12? Microorganisms used for B12 Productions Streptomyces griseus, S. olivaceus, Bacillus megaterium, B. coagulans, Pseudomonas denitrificans, Propionibacterium freudenreichi, P. shermani, and a mixed fermentation of a Proteus spp. and a Pseudomonas spp. may be used in the industrial manufacture of vitamin B12.
