This document provides information about Waswa Walter Wakhungu's university course details and an assignment on the economic and practical applications of mycology. It discusses several ways that fungi are used in food and beverages, including as a protein source in cultivated mushrooms, in fermentation processes like soy sauce and cheese production, as a leavening agent in baking, and for producing flavors, colors, drugs, and suppressing the immune system. Key fungi mentioned include Aspergillus, Saccharomyces, Penicillium, and Cyclosporin A.
Fungi have many important industrial uses, especially in food processing and pharmaceutical production. They are used to produce alcoholic beverages like beer, wine and sake through fermentation. Penicillin and other antibiotics are obtained from fungi through cultivation. Fungi also play key roles in food processing by producing enzymes, flavors and colors. Aspergillus oryzae is used to produce soy sauce and Penicillium roquefortii gives blue veins and flavor to blue cheese. Statins and other drugs are also derived from fungal metabolites. Overall, fungi enable the large-scale industrial production of many useful materials through fermentation and other processes.
This presentation is about food microbiology, very important and useful branch in the field of microbiology. This presentation discusses about some of the common microbes used in food microbiology and applications of food microbiology. It gives an insight about some well-known researches and patents.
Microorganisms play an important role in food production through various fermentation processes. Bacteria, yeasts and molds are used to produce foods like bread, cheese, yogurt, wine and beer. They ferment carbohydrates, converting sugars into acids, gases and flavors. This preserves foods and extends shelf life. Lactic acid bacteria are particularly useful, fermenting milk into dairy products. Yeast converts grape juice into wine through alcoholic fermentation. The carbon dioxide produced by yeast leavens bread dough. Microbes also enhance nutrition and safety of fermented foods through biological enrichment.
Fungal metabolism produces primary and secondary metabolites through biochemical reactions. Primary metabolites like vitamins and amino acids support growth and development, while secondary metabolites such as antibiotics and toxins are non-essential. Fungi play important roles in producing foods and beverages, for example yeast produces carbon dioxide that causes bread dough to rise. Specific fungi also contribute to cheeses like Camembert and Roquefort by growing on their surfaces. Shoyu and miso are produced through fermentation processes using fungi like Aspergillus oryzae to break down soybeans and rice.
The document provides an overview of food technology and processing in India. It discusses that the Indian food processing industry was valued at €92 billion in 2005 and has attracted €790 million in foreign direct investment. It then provides details on the production levels of various foods in India like milk, fruits and vegetables, food grains, fish, poultry and eggs. It notes that processing levels for these foods are quite low, around 2-35%. The document then discusses the processing of specific foods like fruits and vegetables, meat, dairy, fish and consumer food industries. It provides statistics on the growth and investments in these industries.
Tane koji and starter cakes are important cultures used to produce koji and ferment foods like sake, miso, and rice wines. Tane koji is a spore culture of Aspergillus oryzae grown on rice to be used as an inoculum for koji production. Starter cakes are mixed culture starters containing fungi and yeast used to ferment foods in Asia. Both tane koji and starter cakes play a key role in producing enzymes and fermenting foods through solid-state fermentation processes.
The document discusses food and spoilage. It defines food as any nutritious substance consumed to maintain life, provide energy and stimulate growth. Spoilage is the deterioration of food quality making it inedible, caused by microbial and biochemical processes. Factors like moisture, temperature, and microbes determine spoilage. Food preservation methods stop or slow spoilage by killing microbes or inhibiting their growth, helping to prevent food poisoning from contaminated food.
Fungal metabolism consists of biochemical reactions that allow fungi to grow and produce both primary and secondary metabolites. Primary metabolites such as vitamins and amino acids are essential for growth, while secondary metabolites like antibiotics are not necessary for growth but are useful for industry. Fungi play important roles in producing various foods and beverages through fermentation. For example, yeast is used to make bread rise, while molds like Penicillium roqueforti and Penicillium camemberti are used to produce blue veins in Roquefort cheese and a white crust on Camembert cheese. Soy sauce is produced by fermenting soybeans and wheat with the mold Aspergillus oryzae to create koji, which is
Canning involves sealing food in containers and heating it to kill or inhibit microbial growth. Acidic foods are easier to can than neutral foods, which must be heated above 100°C. Spoilage can occur through anaerobic organisms like Clostridium producing toxins. Canning, removal of microorganisms, use of chemical preservatives, radiation, microbial inhibition, and controlling temperature and moisture help preserve foods by hindering microbial growth and toxin production. Fermentation uses microbes like yeast and lactic acid bacteria to preserve foods through chemical changes and production of preservatives. Common fermented foods include beer, wine, yogurt, cheese, and bread.
- Soybeans originated in East Asia over 5,000 years ago and were first domesticated in China around 1100 BC. They were introduced to other parts of Asia and Europe by the early 1st century AD.
- Soybeans are a highly nutritious food providing complete protein as well as carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals. They became a major crop in the US in the early 20th century and are now widely cultivated and consumed globally.
- Most soybeans grown today are genetically modified to be resistant to the herbicide glyphosate, with over 90% of soybeans grown in the US being genetically modified. While this allows for easier weed control, there are also concerns about its environmental
Fermentation is used to preserve foods like pickles, sauerkraut, bread, vinegar and idli. The process involves lactic acid bacteria like Lactobacillus and Leuconostoc which convert sugars into lactic acid, lowering the pH and preventing spoilage. For pickles, cucumbers are placed in brine and the acidity produced during fermentation preserves them. Sauerkraut is made by a similar fermentation of cabbage. Yeast is used in bread making to produce carbon dioxide which leavens the dough. Vinegar is produced through further fermentation of ethanol by acetic acid bacteria. Idli batter involves fermenting rice and black lentils before steaming the c
