  4. Industrial fermentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_fermentation

    Moreover, nearly all commercially produced industrial enzymes, such as lipase, invertase and rennet, are made by fermentation with genetically modified microbes. In some cases, production of biomass itself is the objective, as is the case for single-cell proteins, baker's yeast, and starter cultures for lactic acid bacteria used in cheesemaking.

  5. Fermentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermentation

    Humans have used fermentation in production of food for 13,000 years. [5] Humans and their livestock have microbes in the gut that carry out fermentation, releasing products used by the host for energy. [6] Fermentation is used at an industrial level to produce commodity chemicals, such as ethanol and lactate.

  6. Fermentation in food processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermentation_in_food...

    Grapes being trodden to extract the juice and made into wine in storage jars. Tomb of Nakht, 18th dynasty, Thebes, Ancient Egypt. Sourdough starter. In food processing, fermentation is the conversion of carbohydrates to alcohol or organic acids using microorganisms—yeasts or bacteria—without an oxidizing agent being used in the reaction.

  7. Microbial food cultures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbial_food_cultures

    Microbial food cultures are live bacteria, yeasts or moulds used in food production. Microbial food cultures carry out the fermentation process in foodstuffs. Used by humans since the Neolithic period (around 10 000 years BC) [1] fermentation helps to preserve perishable foods and to improve their nutritional and organoleptic qualities (in this case, taste, sight, smell, touch).

    Example industrial uses of microorganisms Product Contribution of microorganisms Cheese Growth of microorganisms contributes to ripening and flavor. The flavor and appearance of a particular cheese is due in large part to the microorganisms associated with it. Lactobacillus Bulgaricus is one of the microbes used in production of dairy products

  9. Genetically modified bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_bacteria

    Genetically modified bacteria are used to produce large amounts of proteins for industrial use. Generally the bacteria are grown to a large volume before the gene encoding the protein is activated. The bacteria are then harvested and the desired protein purified from them. [14] The high cost of extraction and purification has meant that only ...
