This research was to study the effects of lactic acid bacteria fermentation on the quality of little yellow croaker. The effects of the LAB starter composed of Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus acidophilus on the quality of little yellow croaker were studied through a 72 h fermentation process in this study. During 72 h fermentation at 30°C, little yellow croaker inoculated with the LAB...

Cocoa beans fermentation is an important step in the post-harvest processing of cocoa beans. This complex mix culture fermentation produces metabolic products that serve as the precursors for the flavor development process. Modification in the dynamics of microbial population during the fermentation may alter the overall microbial activity and thus may impact the fermentation process. Addition ...

This paper presents some of the recent challenges to the Modern Synthesis of evolutionary theory, which has dominated evolutionary thinking for the last sixty years. The focus of the paper is the challenge of soft inheritance the idea that variations that arise during development can be inherited. There is ample evidence showing that phenotypic variations that are independent of variations in D...

The present study was conducted to determine the optimum age of Holstein dairy calves for an effective inclusion of alfalfa hay (AH) in starter feed on performance, apparent digestibility and feeding behavior. A total of 40 Holstein dairy calves (20 female and 20 male) were used in a completely randomized design in which calves were randomly assigned to one of four different dietary treatments ...

determination of the starter torque-speed diagram is a major task in the design or selection of a proper gas turbine starter. in this paper, the maximum power of the mgt-40 gas turbine starter was calculated based on the dynamics of the rotor, start-up logic, and compressor map. in a recent research, the pressure ratio was assumed as a linear function of the rotor speed and the required starter...

Concurrent in vivo and in vitro studies were conducted to evaluate urea (U), soybean meal (SBM), ground soybeans (RAW), extruded soybeans (ES) or extruded soybeans plus urea (ES + U) as primary supplemental N sources in starter diets for Holstein steers. Three groups of 48 Holstein steers each were fed five different starter diets to 181 kg BW in three experimental periods over 2 yr. Average da...

Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of low-CP diets supplemented with crystalline amino acids, according to an ideal amino acid ratio, on the performance, plasma metabolites, nutrient digestibility, nitrogen balance, and water intake in male and female chickens from 1 to 48 d of age using a 4-phase feeding program: prestarter (1-7 d), starter (8-21 d), grower (22-35 d), and...

Batches of fromage blanc, a soft white cheese were prepared from whole pasteurized cow’s milk. Processing and formulation methods were used in cheese making to reduce Listeria monocytogenes in artificially contaminated cheese. Treatments implemented included use of additional starter culture in formulation (25% more starter culture than original formulation), use of a higher temperature drainin...

The pulsed-field technique of clamped homogeneous electric field electrophoresis was employed to characterize and size genomic DNA of three pediocin-producing (Ped+) and two non-pediocin-producing (Ped-) strains of Pediococcus acidilactici. Comparison of genomic fingerprints obtained by digestion with the low-frequency-cleavage endonuclease AscI revealed identical restriction profiles for four ...

the potential of bulk starter fermentation strategy for production of a cost-effective and safe source of β-galactosidase was investigated. three different bulk starter media with different compositions were selected, and an industrial yogurt starter culture strain, l. bulgaricus dsm 20081 was cultivated in these media under ph-controlled conditions (ph=5.6) at 43°c. the media consisted of 1) b...
