Antimicrobial Activity and Chemical Composition of “Kpètè-Kpètè”: A Starter of Benin Traditional Beer Tchoukoutou

The aim of this study was to investigate the antibacterial effect of the crude starter "kpètè-kpètè" and lactic acid bacteria used during the production of "tchoukoutou." To achieve this, a total of 11 lactic acid bacteria and 40 starter samples were collected from four communes. The samples were tested on 29 gram + and - strains by disk diffusion method. The minimum inhibitory and bactericidal...

Composition of South African Final Molasses

A survey has been carried out on the composition of final molasses from South African sugar factories. Regional and seasonal trends in various parameters have been noted, and the degree of exhaustion of the molasses has been commented upon. Included in the survey are data on the nonsucrose constituents of molasses, and the inorganic ash components. Comparisons are made with a similar survey con...

Fatty acid composition, chemical composition and processing yield of traditional hot smoked common carp (Cyprinus carpio, L)

The main objective of this study was to describe the proper technological process of hot smoking of common carp as well as to determine the yield of the final product and also proximate and fatty acid composition of hot-smoked common carp meat. The average yield of smoked common carp was 82.19% based on weight of eviscerated and descaled fish or 47% based on weight of live fish. The smoking pro...
