Oceania: poi, kaanga pirau (rotten corn), sago What about pickles? Quiz question one – How do acids act as preservatives? 1. By cooking the food 2. By stopping or slowing the growth of food poisoning and spoilage bacteria 3. By providing anaerobic conditions 4. By making the food taste nice Answer - Food acids act as preservatives by reducing the food’s pH and thus stopping or slowing the growth of many food poisoning and spoilage bacteria. Quiz question three – Which food poisoning bacteria is the most significant concern for acidified foods? 1. Escherichia coli 2. Clostridium botulinum 3. Bacillus cereus 4. Salmonella Answer - Clostridium botulinum Quiz question two – What pH limits the growth of Clostridium botulinum? 1. 7.01 2. 4.6 3. 10.3 4. 4.2 Answer - The risk of Clostridium botulinum spores germinating and producing toxins is increased if the pH is above pH 4.6. pH can rise as it equalises with the product, a stating pH of 4.2 is recommended to account for this. Quiz question five – Are all food poisoning bacteria limited by pH 4.6? 1. Yes 2. No Answer - Some microorganisms are more acid tolerant than others Bacterial pathogens of concern in acidified products – acid tolerance Limits for Growth of Some Common Bacterial Pathogens Source: Fermentation and food safety.

The levels of pH, salt content, water content, yeast and mold, and aerobic plate count (APC) in all samples ranged from 4.7 to 5.9, 4.4% to 14.0%, 6.8% to 51.6%, 3.0 to 5.1logCFU/g, and 5.2 to 9.2logCFU/g, respectively. None of these samples contained total coliform and Escherichia coli. Although black bean douchi products had an average histamine content of 29.0 mg/100 g, 18 of them had histamine contents greater than 5 mg/100 g, the allowable level set by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for scombroid fish and/or products. In contrast, only four soybean douchi products had histamine levels greater than 5 mg/100 g.

  • Fermented Foods Fermented Foods
    FERMENTED FOODS Fermented foods are among the oldest processed foods and have been eaten in almost all countries for millennia. They include fermented cereal products, alcoholic drinks, fermented dairy products and soybean products among many others. Details of the production of individual fermented foods are given in the following Technical Briefs: • Dairy ppproducts:products: Cheese making ; Ricotta Cheese Making ; Soured Milk and Yoghurt ; Yoghurt Incubator • Fruit and vegetable products: Gundruk (Pickled Leafy Vegetable) Banana Beer ; Grape Wine ; Toddy and Palm Wine ; Tofu and Soymilk Production ; Dry Salted Lime Pickle ; Dry Salted Pickled Cucumbers ; Green Mango Pickle ; Lime Pickle (Brined) ; Pickled Papaya ; Pickled Vegetables ; Fruit Vinegar ; Pineapple Peel Vinegar ; Coffee Processing . • Meat and fffishfish productsproducts: Fresh and Cured Sausages. This technical brief gives an overview of food fermentations and examples of fermented foods that are not included in the other technical briefs. Types of food fermentations Fermentations rely on the controlled action of selected micro-organisms to change the quality of foods. Some fermentations are due to a single type of micro-organism (e.g. wines and beers fermented by a yeast named ‘ Saccharomyces cerevisiae’ ), but many fermentations involve complex mixtures of micro-organisms or sequences of different micro-organisms. Fermented foods are preserved by the production of acids or alcohol by micro-organisms, and for some foods this may be supplemented by other methods (e.g. pasteurisation, baking, smoking or chilling). The subtle flavours and aromas, or modified textures produced by fermentations cannot be achieved by other methods of processing. These changes make fermentation one of the best methods to increase the value of raw materials.

Germany : Post -Doctoral Humboldt fellowship holder 2007- Institute of Microbiology &Biotechnology, Vietnam National University (VNU) ,Hanoi, Vietnam : Director 1. Vietnam's biodiversity Vietnam is located in Southeast Asia. The country has a north-to-south distance of 1650 km with a 3260 km coastline. Because of the differences in latitude, the climate changes from humid subtropical in the northern regions to tropical in the southern regions. Moreover, Vietnam has many different types of landscapes such as mountains, highland, delta flat and coastal lower flat as well as many types of ecosystems such as forest, agriculture, coral reef, mangrove, bay, lakes, hot spring, etc... Vietnam is reported to be one of the centers of high biodiversity in the world with 1300 animal species and 13700 plant species. Meanwhile, there is limited report on microbial biodiversity. An additional factor that influences on the microbial biodiversity is a number of 56 ethnic groups living in the highland and mountain areas through out the country with various life styles and traditional fermented foods. 2. Microbial biodiversity study and culture collection management Studies on microbiology have been started from 1960 at some leading institutions and universities including National Institute of Science and Technology, Hanoi University, Food Industry Research Institute, University of Agriculture, Hanoi University of Technology.

  • Biogenic Amines Analysis and Microbial Contribution in Traditional
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Biogenic amines analysis and microbial contribution in traditional fermented food of Douchi Received: 22 November 2017 Lu Li1,2, Liying Ruan1,2, Anying Ji1,2, Zhiyou Wen1,4, Shouwen Chen3, Ling Wang1 & Accepted: 30 July 2018 Xuetuan Wei1,2 Published: xx xx xxxx Biogenic amines (BAs) have been reported to threaten the Douchi safety, while the BAs formation mechanism and corresponding control method have not been clarifed for Douchi. The present study aims to investigate the microbial contribution to BAs in Douchi, and to fnd the benefcial strain for BAs control. Firstly, the BAs profles of 15 Douchi samples were analyzed, and common 6 kinds of BAs were detected from diferent samples. All the samples showed the total BAs contents within the safe dosage range, while the histamine concentrations in 2 samples and β-phenethylamine in 6 samples were above the toxic level. Then, the bacterial and fungal communities were investigated by high-throughput sequencing analysis, and Bacillus and Candida were identifed as the dominant bacteria and fungi genus, respectively. Furthermore, nineteen strains were selected from the dominant species of Douchi samples, including 14 Bacillus strains, 2 Staphylococcus strains, 1 Enterococcus strain and 2 Candida strains, and their BAs formation and degradation abilities were evaluated. B. subtilis HB-1 and S. pasteuri JX-2 showed no BAs producing ability, and B. subtilis GD-4 and Candida sp. JX-3 exhibited high BAs degradation ability. Finally, fermented soybean model analysis further verifed that B. subtilis HB-1 and S. pasteuri JX-2 could signifcantly reduce BAs.

Dr. Shelley M. Mark, Director Department of Planning and Economic Development State of Hawaii The very title of my talk this morning indicates that Hawaii once did have a taro industry. This will undoubtedly be substantiated by talks which will be given later in the day. However, I would like to point out that insofar as statistics are concerned, Hawaii had over 1,000 acres in taro production in 1948, but by 1963 this acreage had been reduced to 480. Why this reduction in production has occurred, I cannot specifically answer, but perhaps I can point to a few of the reasons. Prior to World War II, taro flour was produced and shipped to the Mainland. As late as 1952 Dr. Glaser, our principal speaker of the day, attested to the fact that "a number of doctors. on the mainland had used the taro flour prior to World War II, principally in allergy work, and still enthusiastically endorse it." Through the closing of the taro flour mill, the demand for taro production would automatically have been decreased, thus reducing the acreage re­ quirements.
