Study Notes

Applied Microbiology

Applied microbiology is the study of enzymes and genetics related to prokaryotes and eukaryotes, producing food and medicines
Industrial microbiology is a branch focusing on commercial use of microbes for economical, social, and environmental processes.

Industrial Microbiology: Features

Uses fermentation processes for various production, examples include bread, cheese, wine, raw materials for chemicals, enzymes, nutrients, and medications
Employs microbes to manage waste and pollution.

Dairy Products

Milk is transformed into various products for preservation (e.g., cheese, butter, yogurt, cream)
Milk changes in water content and acidity during processing, improving texture, taste, and flavor
Milk is typically pasteurized to eliminate unwanted microbes before fermentation.
Lactobacilli help ferment milk, converting lactose to lactic acid and causing coagulation of proteins
Compounds like diacetyl contribute to specific flavors, e.g., butter flavor.
