Pasteurization of freshly brewedburukutu samples at 60‡C for 30 min delayed its spoilage for two weeks while addition of 0.25, 0.5 or 1.0% sorbic acid, benzoic acid
or sodium metabisulphite prevented spoilage for three to four weeks. Combined pasteurization with 0.25% sodium metabisulphite
stabilizedburukutu for up to 11 weeks. 相似文献

The role of the yeast flora of Nigerian palm wine in the leavening activity of the beverage was investigated by subjecting organisms from the wine to dough-raising tests. Those with appreciable leavening activity were identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida spp. They produced maximum dough volumes in 3–4 h at 37°C. The study has provided experimental evidence that yeasts contribute to the leavening activity of palm wine and has identified strains which have potential utility in commercial bread baking. 相似文献

The spoilage yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae degraded the food preservative sorbic acid (2,4-hexadienoic acid) to a volatile hydrocarbon, identified by gas chromatography mass spectrometry as 1,3-pentadiene. The gene responsible was identified as PAD1, previously associated with the decarboxylation of the aromatic carboxylic acids cinnamic acid, ferulic acid, and coumaric acid to styrene, 4-vinylguaiacol, and 4-vinylphenol, respectively. The loss of PAD1 resulted in the simultaneous loss of decarboxylation activity against both sorbic and cinnamic acids. Pad1p is therefore an unusual decarboxylase capable of accepting both aromatic and aliphatic carboxylic acids as substrates. All members of the Saccharomyces genus (sensu stricto) were found to decarboxylate both sorbic and cinnamic acids. PAD1 homologues and decarboxylation activity were found also in Candida albicans, Candida dubliniensis, Debaryomyces hansenii, and Pichia anomala. The decarboxylation of sorbic acid was assessed as a possible mechanism of resistance in spoilage yeasts. The decarboxylation of either sorbic or cinnamic acid was not detected for Zygosaccharomyces, Kazachstania (Saccharomyces sensu lato), Zygotorulaspora, or Torulaspora, the genera containing the most notorious spoilage yeasts. Scatter plots showed no correlation between the extent of sorbic acid decarboxylation and resistance to sorbic acid in spoilage yeasts. Inhibitory concentrations of sorbic acid were almost identical for S. cerevisiae wild-type and Deltapad1 strains. We concluded that Pad1p-mediated sorbic acid decarboxylation did not constitute a significant mechanism of resistance to weak-acid preservatives by spoilage yeasts, even if the decarboxylation contributed to spoilage through the generation of unpleasant odors. 相似文献

The Effects of Sulphite Preservative in British Fresh Sausages 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
S ummary . The bacteriology of pork and beef sausages, with and without metabisulphite preservative, when stored at room temperature and 3—5° is described. The preservative has a marked effect on microbial growth in sausages stored at room temperature, particularly with regard to the organisms found on plates incubated at 37°. Of the latter, coli-aerogenes and other Gram negative organisms were the most inhibited by the preservative. 相似文献

Freshwater fish viscera (FV) was homogenized, mixed with 10% (w/w of FV) molasses and 0, 2 or 4% salt and allowed to ferment at ambient temperature (26·2°C) under microaerophilic conditions. The results revealed a reduction in total viable count and the number of spores, coliforms, Escherichia coli , staphylococci and enterococci and an increase in yeasts and moulds and lactic acid bacteria during fermentation. Coliforms and E. coli were found to be absent after 6 d and enterococci on 8th day. The presence of salt resulted in a marginally lower number of all organisms except yeasts, moulds and lactic acid bacteria. Inclusion of either 0·5% propionic acid, 0·3% calcium propionate or 0·1% sorbic acid suppressed growth of yeasts and moulds with propionic acid being the most effective. The study indicated that a microbiologically stable product could be prepared by ensiling fish viscera with 10% molasses and 0·5% propionic acid. 相似文献

The microbial contamination of 44 samples of a vitamin A preparation in sucrose syrup was investigated. The contaminants were almost exclusively yeasts and moulds. Microbiological and physicochemical studies showed that sorbic acid was the preservative of choice for this formulation. The results are discussed with respect to the preservation of non-sterile pharmaceuticals. 相似文献

In a model system medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) C6 –C12 in coconut and palm kernel oil are converted to methyl ketones, one carbon atom less than the parent fatty acids, by two strains of Penicillium crustosum Thom. Conversion rates of up to 32% were seen for decanoic acid at 25°C. The optimum temperature for ketone production was 25°C in liquid suspension culture. Coconut oil contains 3.23 mmol/g MCFAs compared with 2.34 mmol/g for palm kernel oil. Coconut oil is more prone to fungal spoilage (growth and ketone production) than palm kernel oil. The main end product of fermentation was 2-undecanone reflecting the high concentration of dodecanoic acid in the substrates. Ketonic rancidity is fungal engendered. The reaction can be controlled by reducing the temperature (4°C), reducing the water activity (0.91) or by addition of sorbic acid (20 mmol/l). 相似文献

Evidence that sorbic acid does not inhibit yeast as a classic 'weak acid preservative' 总被引:8,自引:2,他引:6
Weak-acid preservatives are widely used to maintain microbial stability in foods and beverages. Classical weak-acid theory proposes that undissociated acid molecules pass through the plasma membrane, dissociate in the neutral pH of the cytoplasm, release protons and inhibit growth through acidification of the cytoplasm. Inhibitory concentrations of sorbic acid are shown to liberate fewer protons than other weak-acid preservatives. Sorbic acid shows similar inhibition to other six-carbon acids, alcohols and aldehydes, the latter being unable to act as weak acids. A survey of 22 yeasts showed high correlation between sorbate resistance and ethanol tolerance. Inhibition by short-chain acids or alcohols showed strong correlation with lipophilicity. It is proposed that sorbic acid acts as a membrane-active substance rather than as a weak-acid preservative. 相似文献

Pasteurization studies were conducted on 29 yeast and five lactic acid bacteria. In general the yeasts were more heat resistant in wine than were the bacteria. The one exception was a strain of Lactobacillus fructivorans that gave an average D-value of 1.7 min at 60 C. Alcohol was the wine constituent that had the greatest effect on resistance; D-values for all test species were inversely related to the ethanol concentration. The response of organisms to other factors such as pH, sugar, and sulfur dioxide varied with the species. 相似文献

A controlled brew of pito was produced and compared with a native brew. The former contained a higher alcohol content than the latter brew and was brighter in colour (13 as against 18.5 EBC units) thus making it more attractive. Of various heat and chemical preservative treatments used to prolong the shelf life of both products, pasteurization at 75°C for 30 min. and treatment with sorbic acid at a concentration of 5% were best able to arrest microbial proliferation in the bottled products during a 4 week storage period. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the microbiological and biochemical changes which occur in palm wine during the tapping of felled oil palm trees. METHODS AND RESUlts: Microbiological and biochemical contents of palm wine were determined during the tapping of felled oil palm trees for 5 weeks and also during the storage. Saccharomyces cerevisiae dominated the yeast biota and was the only species isolated in the mature samples. Lactobacillus plantarum and Leuconostoc mesenteroides were the dominated lactic acid bacteria, whilst acetic acid bacteria were isolated only after the third day when levels of alcohol had become substantial. The pH, lactic and acetic acid concentrations during the tapping were among 3.5-4.0%, 0.1-0.3% and 0.2-0.4% respectively, whilst the alcohol contents of samples collected within the day were between 1.4% and 2.82%; palm wine which had accumulated over night, 3.24% to 4.75%; and palm wine held for 24 h, over 7.0%. CONCLUSION: Accumulation of alcohol in palm wine occurs in three stages during the tapping and marketing with the concurrent lactic and acetic acid fermentation taking place as well. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Yeasts, lactic and acetic acid bacteria are all important in the fermentation of palm wine and influence the composition of the product. 相似文献

S ummary . In a study of the origin of the initial microflora of palm wine from the oil palm ( Elaeis guineensis ), micro-organisms from parts of the immature spadix, the plant tissues around the point of tapping the tree, the palm leaves and the atmosphere around the palm trees, were isolated and examined. It was shown that the yeasts in fresh palm wine might have originated from those that colonize those parts of the palm which are covered with fluffy hairy outgrowths. These materials which surround the tapping hole are the stalk of the male inflorescence, the leaf petiole, the felt (a fabric-like outgrowth of the frond petiole used to cover the tapping hole) and the cross strips. Another possible source of the yeasts was the xylem stream. 相似文献

L und , B.M., G raham , A.F., G eorge , S.M. & B rown , D. 1990. The combined effect of incubation temperature, pH and sorbic acid on the probability of growth of non-proteolytic, type B Clostridium botulinum. Journal of Applied Bacteriology 69 , 481–492.
It has been reported that non-proteolytic strains of Clostridium botulinum will grow at 3.3°C, and they are therefore of concern in relation to certain chilled foods. The effects of combinations of inhibitory factors may be used to reduce the risk of growth of these bacteria in foods. The combined effect of pH values between 4.8 and 7.0, temperatures between 6° and 30°C, and sorbic acid concentrations up to 2270 mg/1 on the probability of growth from a single spore of non-proteolytic, type B strains in a culture medium has been determined. A mathematical model has been developed that enables the effect of varying combinations of these factors on the probability of growth of non-proteolytic, type B Cl. botulinum to be predicted. 相似文献

After the appearance of “Etudes sur le vin” by Pasteur, in enology lactic acid bacteria have been considered as deteriorating agents for more than 50 years. About 1920, Ferré in Burgundy and Ribéreau-Gayon in Bordeaux demonstrated the enological importance of the transformation of malic to lactic acid. This notion is now generally accepted in most vinicultural areas. Malolactic fermentation is encouraged, especially for red wines, for two reasons: a) it eliminates the taste of malic acid and lowers the acidity of the wine, b) it assures the biological stability of wines conserved with a minimum of sulphurous anhydride. In traditional vinification, malolactic fermentation is the result of bacterial growth. It is spontaneous, that means induced by the endogenous lactic acid bacteria of grapes and winery equipment. In the must, yeasts and bacteria develop simultaneously; in the antagonism between yeasts and bacteria the bacterial population is more often becoming dominant than being suppressed. The grapes are sulphited so that bacterial growth occurs only after complete exhaustion of sugars by the yeasts. Consequently, alteration of the wine, as a result of sugar fermentation by the bacteria, is prevented. In a well-controlled vinification lactic acid bacteria can complete their growth cycle in the wine. Wine, however, is a poor culture medium and the bacteria multiply under restricted nutritional, physical and chemical conditions. As a consequence, malolactic fermentation is difficult to control in practice, in spite of all the research done for more than 30 years. For a long time, one has tried to stimulate malolactic fermentation by inoculating wine with bacteria. Until now, the problem has been to determine the biomass of bacteria, sufficient for fermentation to take place as well as the quality required. The desired physiological state of the bacteria in the inoculum is also not known. 相似文献

Based on a study of 200 lactic-acid bacteria monocultures and 30 associating lactic bacteria and yeasts cultures, a stable association was created formed by Leuconostoc oenos, Pediococcus pentosaceus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeasts, intended for the biological deacidification of wine. Physiology of microorganisms and their effect on the wine chemical composition was studied. By means of selective association, high quality fine wines were produced from the high-acid wines. 相似文献

The production and stability of pediocin N5p from Pediococcus pentosaceus , isolated from wine, were examined in grape juice medium. Maximum growth and higher titre (4000 U ml-1 ) were observed at a initial pH of 7·5 and 30°C. The activity of the inhibitory substance was stable between pH values from 2·0 to 5·0 at 4° and 30°C. At pH 10·0 it was completely inactivated. When submitted to 30 min at 80°, 100° and 115°C, maximal stability was observed at pH 2·0. Ethanol up to 10% did not affect pediocin activity at acid pH, nor did 40–80 mg 1-1 SO2 , independently or combined with different ethanol concentrations, affect inhibitory activity. 相似文献

Quantitative data indicated logarithmic death in 5 degrees Brix Concord grape juice when concentrations of cells under 10(7)/ml were exposed to diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC). Species differed considerably in their resistance; e.g., 50 ppm reduced the viable count of Saccharomyces cerevisiae over nine log(10) cycles, whereas 200 ppm reduced the count of Byssochlamys fulva ascospores by only about 1 log. DEPC lethality was enhanced by higher temperatures; destruction at 40 C was 10- to 100-fold greater than at 20 C. Studies on death rates showed that most yeasts and fungal spores were killed during the first hour of exposure, whereas 24 h or longer was needed for maximal destruction of several lactic acid bacteria. Repair of DEPC-induced damage was believed responsible for the slower death rates of the lactics. 相似文献
