Black sapote is an underutilized fruit with various bioactive compounds and medicinal properties. To increase its utilization and value, the black sapote was turned into kombucha and spray-dried to increase the shelf life and stability of its active components. Encapsulating agents are used to protect the bioactive compounds during spray drying. This study investigated the effect of ferment…
Cacao (Theobrama cacao L.) is rich in antioxidants of polyphenols and flavonoids. Because of its antioxidant, cacao has many health benefical effects including antidiabetic. During chocolate production, fermentation becomes the most important part for cacao beans. This is because cacao will not produce great flavors without the fermentation. there are many cacao not in good quality because the …
Soy sauce is a liquid condiment that is made from fermented soybeans with mold, wheat flour, brine water, bacteria, and yeast. Soy sauce fermentation includes two stages of fermentation which begins with koji fermentation and ends with moromi fermentation. Koji fermentation is a solid- state fermentation through the use of mold and it may last for 48 to 72 hours. Meanwhile, moromi fermentation …
Soy sauce is a popular condiment in Asian countries made from fermented soybeans. The production process of traditional soy sauce usually takes place in a non-sterile environment, causing spontaneous fermentation by indigenous microorganisms. One of the commonly found and reported species in soybean-based fermented food was Bacillus subtilis. Although Bacillus is generally recognized as saf…
Tuak is an alcoholic beverage from Southeast Asian countries, such as Indonesia and Malaysia, prepared by fermenting starchy materials (e.g., rice, palm sap, coconut sap or water). Tuak production factors and recipes vary from one maker to another, including the type of substrate used, sugar level, water level, fermentation time, and even the starter culture used. These factors affect the micro…
Modified cassava flour (mocaf), is one of the cassava fermentation products using lactic acid bacteria. Mocaf is generally safe for people that have certain conditions due to its gluten-free. It also contains low-protein but rich in carbohydrates. Fermentation starter can affect the quality of mocaf. Pediococcus acidilactici has a potential as a starter for fermented food. Until now there is no…
Soy is a widely popular seasoning in East and Southeast Asian Cuisine, traditionally made by cooking soybeans and inoculating them with Aspergilius sojae yeast for five-day fermentation period, followed by brining. This project aimed to explore the potential of pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) as a subtitute for soybean in the production of sweet soy sauce. Both soybean and pigeon pea sweet soy sauc…
Fermented dairy has been consumed widely and estimated to have inclining demand due to health benefits offered. Discoveries and studies on alternatives of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) starter culture in producing fermented dairy with more health benefits have been carried out to meet the demand. Pedioccocus acidilactici, gained popularity due to its well-known bacteriocin, Pediocin PA-1 and P…
In recent years, the trend for consumption of kombucha beverages has increased due to its numerous claimed health benefits. Along with this, researchers have been experimenting with different substrates, other than tea, to create varieties of kombucha with increased health benefits. Previous studies have shown that the kombucha consortium also thrives in other mediums, like fruit juices, as …
Increase in waste production, especially municipal house waste (MSW), has pushed the need for alternate ways to tackle waste management. One of these methods is to recycle food waste, fermenting them to form eco-enzyme (EE). One of the requirements to make EE is letting it ferment for 3 months, which may deter its adoption in household settings. Effective Microorganism 4 (EM4) is a comm…
A preliminary antimicrobial assay showed the antimicrobial activity of P. acidilactici but the SDS-PAGE did not reveal pediocin, an antimicrobial peptide produced by Pediococcus strain. The efficient downstream processing of P. acidilactici fermentation is studied to analyze pediocin. This research is conducted to assess the compatibility of different methods in concentrating pediocin in th…

Black sapote is a fruit originating from Mexico that contains high antioxidant activity because of its varying phenolic compounds and micronutrients. Kombucha is one of the beverages that is fermented by a SCOBY to produce a unique and fizzy flavor. A SCOBY consists of acetic acid bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, and yeasts produce some acid for tart and fizzy flavour in kombucha. The effect …
Kombucha is a fermented drink with functional properties with a sweet and sour taste characteristic with a refreshing and carbonated sensation, originally prepared using sugared tea and fermented with a starter culture consortium. Over the years, the growing trends and research resulted in various developments of kombucha beverages using different substrates. Recently there has been develop…
One of the ingredients that are most utilized in cooking is vinegar. Cooking with vinegar can be fairly diverse because of its flavor profile, which can be paired with almost any culinary ingredient, whether salty or sweet. Vinegar is produced through the processes of alcoholic and acetic fermentation. The author of this research must determine whether or not the company's vinegar meets the…
Soy sauce fermentation utilize high salt (NaCl) concentration to inhibit spoilage microorganisms while promoting the growth of beneficial halotolerant microorganisms that develops soy sauce aroma. Although the addition of NaCl is essential, high NaCl content in soy sauce has been associated with hypertension. Previous attempts has been made by lowering or substituting NaCl during soy sauce …
"Mocaf is a product from cassava that is modified by Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) fermentation. The fermented cassava is gluten-free, low protein but rich in carbohydrates that makes it different from other flour. The knowledge of the mocaf is low for the community and the price is higher than other flour, it is the factor that makes mocaf less popular, less people that use the mocaf flour. K…
