ISSN: 1365-2621Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: Process Engineering, Biotechnology, Nutrition TechnologyNotes: Conditions for the small-scale preparation of soy-sauce are described. the first stage of the fermentation, growing the mould Aspergillus oryzae on a mixture of soy beans and wheat flour, followed standard procedures. In the second stage, the soy mash or moromi stage, a variety of conditions were tested. Results showed that a two-step fermentation occurs, first lactic acid bacteria, then yeast growing in the mash. Good yeast growth in the very salty mash depends upon the provision of acidic conditions.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 1990Staff ViewISSN: 1747-6593Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: Energy, Environment Protection, Nuclear Power EngineeringNotes: Many environmental variables are known to be involved in the inactivation processes affecting enteric bacteria in seawater. It is commonly believed that bacteria may attempt to reduce adverse effects by adhering together, thereby decreasing the surface area exposed to the hostile environment. This mechanism may be described as self-protection and should enhance the survival of the bacterial population.Controlled laboratory experiments, epifluorescence microscopy, and Coulter counter analysis were used to examine and elucidate the inactivation mechanisms for the enteric bacterium E. coli. In general, the survival of E. coli was found to be enhanced with increasing initial cell concentration in the absence of any suspended solids.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1365-2621Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: Process Engineering, Biotechnology, Nutrition TechnologyNotes: Biochemical changes occurring during the mash or Moromi stage of experimental soy sauce fermentations are described. Despite the high temperature (40°C) and salinity (18% salt w/v) employed, and the low pH (4.5) which developed, amylase and proteinase activity from fungal enzymes present at the beginning of the fermentation, remained detectable throughout the thirty-day incubation period. Considerable increases in reducing sugar, total dissolved nitrogen and amino nitrogen levels occurred, despite active growth of yeast and Lactobacillus. In some cases the increases were greater in mashes containing one or both organisms, than in uninoculated controls.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1365-2621Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: Process Engineering, Biotechnology, Nutrition TechnologyNotes: Changes in the levels of major enzymes and in amounts of principal groups of compounds, during the growth of three strains of the mould Aspergillus oryzae on a mixture of soy beans and wheat flour, under laboratory conditions designed to approximate as closely as possible those found in practical soy sauce production, are described. Evidence for the presence of lipase and sucrase is presented. Protease and α-amylase were also assayed. Tyrosinase could not be detected. Changes in the concentrations of reducing sugars, total soluble organic nitrogen, amino-nitrogen and ammonia are described. Two soy sauce moulds of Chinese origin behaved in a similar fashion to each other, but a mould from Singapore had a rather different pattern of enzymes. Practical significance and physiological implications of the results are discussed.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1365-2621Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: Process Engineering, Biotechnology, Nutrition TechnologyNotes: Evidence for the participation of amyloglucosidase and maltase in the koji (mould growth) stage of experimental soy sauce fermentations is presented. Despite the problems associated with distinguishing between these two enzyme activities in a complex mixture, it seems clear that both are present and that maltase increases in concentration throughout the fermentation whereas amyloglucosidase concentrations declined in fermentations conducted for more than 64 hr. TLC showed that maltose quickly disappears from the koji leaving glucose as the only major sugar. Submerged liquid fermentations and incubation of starch solution with crude enzyme extracts from koji both supported the conclusions obtained from experiments with koji.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1365-2621Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: Process Engineering, Biotechnology, Nutrition TechnologyNotes: Mechanized methods are proposed for improving the technology of soy sauce production at the koji stage. A comparative study on roller and rotary fermenters has been conducted from three viewpoints, namely enzyme levels, chemical composition and soy sauce produced. The taste, aroma and colour of the soy sauce samples from these mechanized fermenters were similar and compared satisfactorily with good commercial soy sauce. The equipment shows promise for controlled solid substrate fermentations.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1432-1998Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: MedicineNotes: Abstract The detailed radiographic features of triploidy, a fatal congenital disorder with 69 chromosomes, have not previously been reported. Radiographs of ten liveborn infants with chromosomally confirmed triploidy showed six findings highly suggestive of this diagnosis: harlequin orbits, small anterior fontanelle, gracile ribs, diaphyseal overtubulation of long bones, upswept clavicles and antimongoloid pelvis. Sixteen other less specific findings showed many similarities to those found in trisomy 18.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1432-0630Keywords: 68.60 + q ; 81.40 EfSource: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Production Engineering, Mining and Metallurgy, Traffic Engineering, Precision MechanicsPhysicsNotes: Abstract The composition of a reactively sputtered graded stainless steel/carbon cermet with a copper base layer has been studied using Auger electron spectroscopy/argon ion depth profiling and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The interlayer structure of newly deposited films is independent of the underlying substrate but exhibits strong substrate interactions following baking at 670K for 60 min. Similar behaviour is found in films aged in air at room temperature over a period of months. Metal oxide substrates are most reactive, causing oxidation within the film. This type of multilayer cermet is used in solar collectors as a spectrally selective film. The implications of these findings for the long term integrity and performance of the thermal solar collectors are discussed.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1432-0614Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: BiologyProcess Engineering, Biotechnology, Nutrition TechnologyNotes: Summary Of four chemical methods for estimating mycelial biomass in koji fermentation which were examined, the modified method of Ride and Drysdale, was found to be most suitable. The observed level of aldehyde, expressed as glucosamine, is related to fungal dry weight. The assay method correlates chitin levels with some enzyme activities in the fermentation. This method may be applicable for detecting the extent of fungal growth in other solid and semi-solid substrates.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -
