RAATHTHIKA R.
• Molds growth on the foods, with its fuzzy or cottony appearance, sometimes colored,
is familiar to everyone, and usually food with a moldy or mildewed food is considered
unfit to eat.
• Molds have both positive and negative effects on the food industry.
• Some molds are perfectly safe to eat and in some cases, even desirable.
• Thus, some kinds of cheese are mold ripened (e.g.) blue, Roquefort, Camembert, Brie,
Gammelost etc.
• Molds are used in making oriental foods (e.g.) Soy sauce, Misco, Sonti and others.
• Molds have been grown as food or feed and are employed to produce products used in
foods, such as amylase for bread making or citric acid used in soft drinks.
• One of the greatest concerns regarding mold in food is the mycotoxins (Aflatoxin- a
cancer causing poison) that some varieties produce.
Mucor
• Mucor are involved in spoilage and the manufacture of foods.
• M.racemosus, M.rouxii is used in the “Amylo” process for the saccharification of starch.
• Mucor help to ripen some cheese (e.g.) Gammelost and are used in making certain
oriental foods.
• Some species of Mucor like M.sufu are used in fermentation of bean curd.
Mucor Bean curd
Zygorrhynchus
• These are soil molds and are similar to Mucor except that the
zygospore suspensors are markedly unequal in size.
Rhizopus
• Rhizopus stolonifer, the so called bread molds.
• It is involved in the spoilage of many food like berries, fruits,
vegetables, bread etc.
Absidia
• Similar to Rhizopus except that sporangia are small and pear shaped.
Thamnidium and Sporotrichum
Thamnidium elegans and S.carnis is found on meat in chilling storage, causing
“whiskers” and “white spot” on the meat.
Thamnidium Thamnidium in chilled meat
S.Carnis in chilled meat
Aspergillus
• Aspergillus is used in Industrial fermentation and the production of
enzyme and organic acids.
• A.flavus and A.oryzae group are important in making oriental foods and
production of enzyme.
• A.glacus group with A.repens as an important species, is often involved in
food spoilage.
• The molds grow well in high concentration of sugar and salt and hence grow
in many food of low moisture content.
• A.flavus and A.parasiticus produce Carcinogenic aflatoxins.
Aspergillus
Soya sauce
Penicillium
• P.camemberti useful in the ripening of Camembert cheese.
• P.roqueforti aiding in the ripening of blue cheese (e.g.) Roquefort.
• Penicillium involves in food spoilage and the production of mycotoxins.
• P.expansum (blue-green spored molds) causes soft-rot in fruits.
• P.digitatum causes soft-rot in citrus fruits.
• P.italicum called the “blue contact mold” also rotting citrus fruits.
Blue cheese
Penicillium
Trichothecium
T.roseum is a pink mold which grows on wood, paper, fruits such as apple and
peaches and vegetables such as cucumbers
Melon
Apple
T.roseum
Geotrichum
• This genus is included with the yeast like fungi.
• G.candidum often called the “dairy mold” gives white to cream colored
growth.
G.candidum
Neurospora
• N.sitophila is an important species in foods.
• Some times it is also termed as “red bread mold”.
• It grows on sugar bagasse and on various foods.
N.sitophila
Botrytis
• B.cinerea is an important species in food.
• It causes disease on grapes but may grow saprophytically on many foods.
• Botrytis cause grey mold rot in fruits.
B.cinerea
•Cephalosporium, Trichoderma, Scopulariopsis, Pullularia are
common species.
•Cladsoporium herbarum cause black spot on foods.
•Helminthosporium (plant pathogen) grow on vegetable.
• Alternaria (A.tenius, A.brassicae, A.citri) commonly cause
spoilage in food.
•Some species of Sclerotinia causes rot on vegetables.
SPECIES FOODS
Aspergillus oryzae
Aspergillus sojae
Used to ferment a soybean and wheat
mixture to make soybean paste and soy
sauce.
Aspergillus koji •Break down the starch in rice, barley etc
(Saccharification)
•In the production of sake and other
distilled spirits.
•In preparation of katsuobushi.
Monascus purpureus Production of red rice yeast.
Fusarium venenatum Quorn
Geotrichum candidum Cheese
Neurospora sitophila Oncom
Penicillium sp. Various cheese including brie and blue
cheese.
Rhizomucor miehei Microbial rennet for making vegetarian
and other cheese.
Rhizopus oligosporus Tempeh
• More digestible products
• Improve flavor and texture, appearance and aroma.
• Synthesize vitamins (including B-12)
• Destroy or mask undesirable or bean flavors
• Reduce or eliminate carbohydrates believed to cause flatulence.
• Decrease the required cooking time.
• Increase storage life
•Transform agricultural wastes (such as okara) into tasty and nutritious
human foods (such as okara tempeh)
• Foods
• Enzymes
• Ingredients
