Recognized to confer health benefits to consumers, probiotics such as Lactobacillus acidophilus are commonly incorporated into fermented dairy products worldwide; among which yogurt is a popular delivery vehicle. To materialize most of the putative health benefits associated with probiotics, an adequate amount of viable cells must be delivered at the time of consumption. However, the loss in th...

Two Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains were tested as the starter yeasts in a traditional cachaça distillery. The strains used were S. cerevisiae UFMG-A829, isolated from a cachaça fermentation process, and S. cerevisiae K1V1116, obtained from the wine industry. The permanence of each strain in the fermentation must was determined by RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA)-PCR, with primer M13. B...

Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird der Standard und das Werkzeug eCH0096 BPM Starter Kit vorgestellt. Standard und Werkzeug wurden in der Schweiz ausgehend von der E-Government-Strategie des Bundes erarbeitet. Es war eCH, das Standardisierungsorgan der Schweiz zu E-Government und E-Health, welches das Standard Werkzeug in der Geschäftsarchitekturund -prozessgruppe von eCH entwickelte. Eine Nutzung is...

The present study evaluates the effects of syrup concentrations of natural raisin microflora culture on the characteristics of sourdough and sourdough bread. The original total titratable acidity (TTA) of the starter solutions were between 10.30 and 10.45 mL, after 96 hours of incubation, the TTA of the starter solution increased to 11.30-11.85 mL. The greatest pH decrease and TTA increase occu...

In this research, the chemical and microbiological characteristics of white brined cheeses produced with five differen starter cultures, namely: traditional kefir grain, commercial kefir, commercial yogurt, traditional yogurt and commercial cheese starter culture, were examined during 60- day ripening period. Results of statistical analysis showed that the type of starter culture had a signific...

AIMS The aim of this study was to determine the proteolytic activities of Staphylococcus xylosus strains on sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins in order to evaluate the suitability of selected strains as starter cultures in the processing of a dry fermented pork sausage. METHODS AND RESULTS The proteolytic activity of 27 strains of Staphylococcus xylosus on sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar pr...

Feeding of milk replacer to early-weaned pigs was evaluated in two experiments. In Exp. 1, 18 litters of pigs were either weaned conventionally (d 21), split-weaned and fed milk replacer plus starter diet (d 14 and 21), or weaned and fed milk replacer plus starter diet (d 21). Split weaning combined with feeding a milk replacer increased ADG 22% from d 14 and d 28 compared to conventional weani...

In this paper we propose a speech interface function, called speech starter, that enables noise-robust endpoint (utterance) detection for speech recognition. When current speech recognizers are used in a noisy environment, a typical recognition error is caused by incorrect endpoints because their automatic detection is likely to be disturbed by non-stationary noises. The speech starter function...

in order to surveying the effect of feeding propolis on performance, feed intake and digestibility in holstein suckling calves, the experiment was designed in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments (diet) and 10 replicates (cattle) during 52 days. treatments included: 1. control (without monensin in starter and without propolis in milk); 2. starter without monensin and 500 ppm soluble...
