Study Notes
Alkali Fermentation
- Occurs during the preparation of stink fish and seed-based fermented products like dawadawa/iru, ugba, and ogiri
- Microbial species responsible for alkali fermentation is Bacillus subtilis
- Examples of plant seeds that undergo alkali fermentation include African locust bean, castor oil bean, sesame, and melon seeds
- Fermentation process is controlled by ammonia produced during protein hydrolysis and alkaline pH
