Abstract The tribal or indigenous people inhabiting the Indian subcontinent with a population of 53.8 million in 5,000 forest dominated villages have plethora of traditional knowledge of their environment that correlates to the immediate nature and the resources that reside therein. Indigenous fermented foods are an intrinsic part of diet of the ethnic tribes in the Himalayan belt of India, being the oldest and most economic methods for development of a diversity of aroma, flavor, texture; food preservation and biological enrichment of food products by the manipulation of different microbial population. Human health- benefits include its antagonistic role against lactose-intolerance, high cholesterol level, cancer and diabetes. Vegetable based fermented foods like gundruk; sinki; anishi are prepared by tribes of Arunachal Pradesh; Sikkim and Nagaland respectively. Kinema; bhatootu, marchu and chilra; tungrymbai are cereal and pulse based fermented food indigenous to people in Darjeeling hills and Sikkim; Himachal Pradesh and Meghalaya respectively. Fermented bamboo shoot products like soibum and mesu form a major part of the diet among the tribes of Manipur; Darjeeling and Sikkim respectively.

  • Traditional Dairy Products in Algeria: Case of Klila Cheese Choubaila Leksir1, Sofiane Boudalia1,2* , Nizar Moujahed3 and Mabrouk Chemmam1,2
    Leksir et al. Journal of Ethnic Foods (2019) 6:7 Journal of Ethnic Foods https://doi.org/10.1186/s42779-019-0008-4 REVIEW ARTICLE Open Access Traditional dairy products in Algeria: case of Klila cheese Choubaila Leksir1, Sofiane Boudalia1,2* , Nizar Moujahed3 and Mabrouk Chemmam1,2 Abstract The cheese Klila occupies a very important socio-economic place established in the rural and peri-urban environment. It is a fermented cheese produced empirically in several regions of Algeria. It is the most popular traditional cheese and its artisanal manufacturing process is still in use today. The processing consists of moderate heating of “Lben” (described a little farther) until it becomes curdled, and then drained in muslin. The cheese obtained is consumed as it stands, fresh, or after drying. When dried, it is used as an ingredient after its rehydration in traditional culinary preparations. In this review, we expose the main categories of traditional Algerian dairy products; we focus mainly on the traditional Klila cheese, its history, origin, and different manufacturing stages. We recall the different consumption modes and incorporation of Klila cheese in the culinary preparations. Keywords: Traditional cheese, Klila, Terroir Introduction Traditional dairy products in Algeria In Algeria, the consumption of dairy products is an old History and origin of cheeses tradition linked to livestock farming, since dairy prod- According to Fox and McSweeney [9], the word “cheese” ucts are made by means of ancient artisanal processes, comes from the Latin “formaticus” meaning “what is using milk or mixtures of milk from different species done in a form.” The discovery of cheese was probably [1–4].

The in-take of such foods has been in the systems for centuries and people have adapted such foods to protect and sustain them. People living in high altitude (>2500) are adapted to cereals and food grains grown in dry and cold climates, with less vegetables and more meat products. More diversity of food items ranging from rice, maize to vegetable, milk to meat is prevalent in the elevation less than 2500 to 1000 m. Ethnic foods possess protective properties, antioxidant, antimicrobial, probiotics, bio-nutrients, and some important health-benefits compounds. Due to rapid urbanisation, development, introduction of commercial ready-to-eat foods have adverse effects on production and consequently consumption of such age-old cultural ethnic foods is declining. The people should be ascertained about the worth indigenous knowledge they possess, and biological significance of their foods.
