MICROORGANISMS

IN FOOD
PRESERVATION
Food Technology Lecture

• Understand different microorganisms and its


activity

• To determine several microorganism present in


food preservation and processing

• To know the activity or process of microorganism


in food preservation.

ACTIVITY IN FOOD OR BY MICROORGANISMS

Food spoilage by microorganisms depends upon intrinsic and


extrinsic factors

20XX PRESENTATION TITLE 3


BACTERIA IN FOOD

• Food is most commonly spoiled by bacteria as it can grow in a


wide variety of conditions however bacteria are used for
beneficial fermentations

• Bacteria do not grow at a water activity level below 0.91 and


require neutral pH (6.5-7) to cause food spoilage

20XX PRESENTATION TITLE 4


FUNGI IN FOOD

• Fungi is the most abundant group of microorganisms that plays important role in
food spoilage.
• Fungi are osmotrophic they obtain their nutrients by absorption.
Molds
• Molds are the most common food spoilage-causing microorganisms.
• Molds grow on the surface of food (they require free oxygen for growth) and in a
wide range of pH values (from 2 to 8.5), but the majority of them prefer acidic pH.
• Molds can grow at very low water activity levels (0.7–0.8) on dried foods

20XX PRESENTATION TITLE


YEASTS

• Yeasts can grow with or without oxygen and are used for
beneficial
• They often spoil food that has high sugar or salt content
fermentation in bread and alcoholic drinks fermentation.
• Yeasts require a water activity level of 0.90–0.95 for growth and
they can grow in a wide range of pH (3 – 8) but in general, they
prefer acidic pH (4.5-5.5).

WINE AND BEER ( YEAST AND
LACTIC ACID BACTERIA)

Without doubt the first use man made of micro-


organisms was in the conversion of the juice of
grapes and other fruits to wine. The wine quality
is determined by many factors, including the
climate, the soil characteristics, the grape variety
and the aging period. Among these factors, the
fermentations carried out during winemaking,
mainly alcoholic and malolactic fermentation,
strongly influence on the wine composition

20XX PRESENTATION TITLE 8


VINEGAR (YEAST AND
ACETIC ACID BACTERIA)

Vinegar is an acidic liquid product


prepared from alcoholic fermentation by
yeast followed by acetous fermentation by
acetic acid bacteria of any suitable food.

20XX PRESENTATION TITLE 9


BREAD (YEAST)

A culture of yeast is allowed to grow in a


dough made of flour and water. As it grows
the yeast produces carbon dioxide, which
causes the dough torise or become light. In
addition, flavors are produced in the bread by
the yeast or certain types of bacteria.

20XX PRESENTATION TITLE 10


FERMENTED FOODS
• Yeast cells convert cereal-derived sugars into ethanol and
CO 2 . At the same time, hundreds of secondary
metabolites that influence the aroma and taste of beer are
produced.
• Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) produces anti-microbial
metabolites, include organic acids like propionic, acetic
acid and lactic acids as final products. They create
unfavorable environment to spoilage and pathogenic
microorganism's growth.
• Many fermentation procedures require enzymes to speed
up the process. Alcohol does not occur without the use of
amylase enzymes since these are responsible for breaking
down starch into simple sugars. Moreover, fermentation is
never possible without enzymes.

20XX PRESENTATION TITLE 11


MILK PRODUCTS -BACTERIA

Microbes ferment the carbohydrates present in


milk, which is mainly lactose to lactic acid and
some other products. The acid precipitates the
proteins in the milk; therefore fermented products
are usually of thicker consistency than milk.
Undesirable micro-organisms may produce bitter
arid of flavors in the cream unless proper
handling methods are employed, such as
pasteurization, cooling, and the use of starters
