Study Notes
- Yogurt is made through bacterial fermentation of milk, utilizing yogurt cultures.
- Bacteria ferments lactose, yielding lactic acid, which interacts with milk proteins to produce yogurt's texture and tart flavor.
- Commonly, yogurt is made using cow's milk; however, can also be made using milk from buffalo, goats, mares, or camels.
Yogurt Production
- Yogurt production involves using a culture of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus bacteria.
- Other Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria are sometimes introduced during or after culturing.
- The first step is to heat the milk to around 85 °C (185 °F) to denature its proteins, crucial for yogurt's consistency and to eliminate harmful bacteria.
- After heating, let the milk cool to around 50 °C (122 °F) or slightly lower, so beneficial microorganisms can survive.
- The milk is inoculated with specific bacterial cultures, typically Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus, which are vital for turning milk into yogurt.
- For fermentation, the inoculated milk needs to kept warm for several hours, so the bacteria can ferment the milk.
- Lactic acid, produced during this process, thickens the milk, giving yogurt its tangy taste.
- For a firmer yogurt, dried milk can be added before fermentation in order to achieve higher concentrations of solids.
- The combination of heat and acidity naturally inhibits harmful microorganisms.
- Straining is also an option, and helps remove excess whey, resulting in a thicker texture.
Fermented Milk Products
- These dairy foods have been fermented with lactic acid bacteria like Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, and Leuconostoc.
- Fermentation enhances taste, improves digestibility, and extends product shelf-life
- Lactobacilli strains are grown in labs, allowing for flavors and characteristics in cultured milk products.
Kefir
-
Kefir is a fermented milk drink.
-
Kefir/kephir is similar to a thin yogurt, with a symbiotic mesophilic culture from kefir grains.
-
Kefir grains is a symbiotic matrix of bacteria and yeasts
-
Traditional kefir ferments at ambient temperatures, usually overnight.
-
Fermentation of lactose produces a sour, carbonated, slightly alcoholic beverage.
-
The kefir grains that initiate this are a symbiotic culture of lactic acid bacteria and yeasts, which are embedded in a matrix of proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides.
-
The microbial activity forms the matrix, resembling cauliflower grains (القرنبيط).
-
Kefir grains have a color white to creamy yellow.
-
The grains contain a complex and variable community, that can include lactic acid bacteria, acetic acid bacteria, and yeasts.
-
During fermentation, lactose gets broken down mostly to lactic acid (25%), This acidifies the product.
Kombucha
- Kombucha—a fermented tea beverage made by sweetening black or green tea; fermenting it with a SCOBY a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast.
- Microbial populations in SCOBY cultures vary, but yeast is a key component
- Bacterial component includes Gluconacetobacter xylinus, this oxidizes yeast-produced alcohols into acetic and other acids.
- Its made by putting the kombucha culture into a broth of sugared tea.
- Kombucha tea made with less sugar may be unappealing.
- Sucrose turns biochemically into fructose, which turns into glucose, then to gluconic and acetic acid.
- Kombucha contains enzymes, amino acids, polyphenols, ethanol, glucuronic acid, glycerol, lactic acid, usnic acid (a hepatotoxin), and B-vitamins, and vitamin C.
- Kombucha is usually less than 1% alcohol, It increases with fermentation time.
- Over-fermentation generates high amounts of acids similar to vinegar.
- Kombucha culture, when dried, becomes a leather-like textile known as a microbial cellulose, which can be molded onto forms to create seamless clothing (ملابس خاليه من الخياطه).
- Using different broth media such as coffee, black tea, and green tea to grow the kombucha culture results in different textile colors,
- The textile's feel and texture is changed by the growth media and dyes.
