Sauerkraut is finely cut cabbage that is fermented by various lactic acid bacteria, including Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Lactobacillus pentoaceticus. The fermentation process sour's the cabbage and gives it a long shelf life. Sauerkraut is recommended for treatment of overweight, metabolic disorders, and detoxification. To make sauerkraut, shredded cabbage is packed in a container with salt added which draws out juice for microbial fermentation. Proper temperature, salt levels, and starter cultures are needed to ensure consistent high quality fermentation.

meet fermentation. Power point presentationSreeTheertha1
Fermentation is the chemical transformation of organic substances into simple compounds by the action of enzymes, complex organic catalysts which are produced by microorganisms such as molds, yeast and bacteria. This method is used to create a desirable change in food and beverages, whether it's increasing flavour, preserving food stuffs, providing health benefits or more..
Meat fermentation is a complex biological phenomenon accelerated by the desirable action of certain microorganisms. Example of common type of fermented meet is sausage......
The microorganisms of important in fermentation and maturation of fermented meet are gram positive and rod shaped belonging to the genera Lactobacillus, micrococcus and Staphylococcus...
The desirable microorganisms added to the meet dough is called as starter cultures.. They can be single cultures or mix of certain microorganisms....
All Lactic Acid Bacteria produces Lactic acid from hexose sugar and lowering the pH
They are generally mesophilic but can grow at temperature as low as 5 degree Celsius..
There are actually only a few general steps involved in fermented sausage manufacturing
First the ingredients are selected, weighed, mixed and stuffed into casings
Gas chromatography (GC) is a common type of chromatography used in analytical chemistry for separating and analysing compounds that can be vaporised without decomposition.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

2. Lactic Acid bacteria involved in Sauerkraut fermentation:
1. Leuconostoc mesenteroides (acid and gas producing coccus)
2. Lactobacillus plantarum and bacilli that produce acid and a small amount of gas (L.
Cucumeris)
3. Lactobacillus pentoaceticus (acid and gas producing bacilli)
(Lactobacillus brevis)
Sauerkraut:
• Finely cut cabbage that has been fermented various lactic acid bacteria
• Sour in taste and has long shelf life
• Is recommended for treatment against over-weight, metabolic disorders and
detoxification
List of contents:
Vitamins, minerals (iron, calcium), trace elements, roughage, lactic acid
3. Shredded cabbage (vegetables) are placed in a container and salt added
Mechanical pressure is applied to cabbage to expel juice which contains
fermentable sugar and other nutrients suitable for microbial activity
Lactobacillus mesenteroides is the first microorganism to act
(They produce acid)
When acidity reaches 2.0 to 2.5% (Lactobacilli are slighltly inhibited but the cocci
are not affected)
(Dry salt is added at the rate of 1-1.5 Kg per 50 Kg cabbage) (Use of salt brine is
not recommended in sauerkraut preperation, but can be added in vegetables with
less water content)
Optimum temperature is 21°C and can be prepared within a week time
4. Starter culture:
1. Speeds up the fermentation process
2. Ensures consistency between batches
3. Inhibit growth of unwanted organisms as they are acidic
4. Leuconostoc mesenteroides adds good flavor to product if added as starter
5. Juice from previous kraut formation can be used as starter culture but, its efficacy
depends upon its microbial load
6. Starter juice should have an acidity of 2.5% or less for good quality kraut
formation.
5. Spoilage and defects in the sauerkraut process.
• Majority of spoilage in sauerkraut is due to aerobic soil microorganisms which break
down the protein and produce undesirable flavour and texture changes.
• Soft kraut can result from many conditions such as large amounts of air, poor salting
procedure and varying temperatures.
• High temperatures and a reduced salt content favour the growth of lactobacilli, which
are sensitive to higher concentrations of salt.
• The usual concentration of salt used in sauerkraut production slightly inhibits the
lactobacilli, but has no effect on the cocci.
• If the salt content is too low initially, the Lactobacilli grow too rapidly at the beginning
and upset the normal sequence of fermentation
• Dark colour sauerkraut is produced due to the high microbial contamination and pink
sauerkraut is due to yeast contamination
