Hello world, dear Flavor Houses, The emerging technology developed in Fermify enables the production of beta-casein via precision fermentation. Fermify has developed internal research aims to unveil the relevance and the potential of beta-casein for food applications. The initial findings showed that this casein fraction has a huge potential for both bulk and functional ingredients. Beta-casein has shown a superior property as a foaming agent, as well as an emulsifier of oil in water emulsion. Moreover, in bulk ingredient-related research, beta-casein (i.e., along with fat, water, and salt) has shown its ability as the sole structuring agent for cheese curd production. Thus, it is proposed to have a (collaborative) project with a flavor house aimed at unveiling the behavior and potential mechanism of degradation of beta-casein during cheese ripening. Subsequently, its impact on the structure of the (ripened) cheese derived from this beta-casein. It is noted that the biochemical process during cheese ripening is complex. Other ingredients such as salts, proteolytic enzymes, and starter cultures will also play a key role in the degradation of beta-casein. Cheese ripening is also highly connected with cheese’s flavor development, either via the generating of free fatty acids, polypeptides, or amino acids. Thus, we also aim to investigate the flavor development and the resulting flavor components during the ripening of beta-casein-derived cheese. Who are the flavor houses in this world who would be interested in studying that together with Fermify?

I did a small research on probiotic yogurt to relate its physiochemical property with local ergo depending on fermentation and the quality I analyzed fermentation temperature and time. 40oC, 43oC and 45oC with fermentation time 2.5 -3 hr, 4 -6hr and 7-12hr. according to my research result as the temperature of fermentation decreases from 43oC, it creates favorable conditions for other bacterial development rather than expected bacteria. due to this overall characteristic of probiotic yogurt is changed. at this condition, it needs a long period for fermentation ( 6-12hr). if the fermentation temperature is kept at 43oC - 45oC expected bacteria quickly multiply themself within a short period and ferment the milk into yogurt. yogurt can be prepared within 2.5hr - 3hr. yogurt which is prepared in a such way has almost nearly similar texture and taste to local ergo. such kind of activities are essential for yogurt producers. it is better if research continues to identify species of bacteria growing as the temperature of fermentation decreases. I am ready to collaborate and work more on dairy sector.

🍪 **The Science of Crispiness: What Makes Biscuits Crispy?** 🔬 Recent scientific studies have shed new light on the factors that contribute to achieving and maintaining that perfect, crispy texture in biscuits. Here are some key findings: 1. **Moisture Control:** Maintaining low moisture content and water activity is crucial. Recent research emphasizes that keeping water activity below 0.3 is key to ensuring long-lasting crispiness. 2. **Baking Conditions:** Studies show that higher baking temperatures with controlled humidity help create a crispy crust by rapidly evaporating moisture from the biscuit’s surface. 3. **Ingredient Interactions:** - **Sugars and Fats:** The latest research highlights the role of sugars in enhancing browning and crispiness through the Maillard reaction. The type of fat used also significantly impacts the texture, with shortening and butter being ideal for creating that light, crispy bite. - **Enzymatic Treatments:** The careful use of amylase enzymes can enhance crispiness by breaking down starches into simpler sugars, aiding in browning and texture formation. 4. **Post-Baking Handling:** Rapid cooling and proper packaging are essential to lock in crispiness and prevent moisture reabsorption, according to recent findings. 5. **Innovative Additives:** New studies are exploring humectants and emulsifiers to improve moisture distribution and fat dispersion, further enhancing the crispy texture. These insights are helping to refine biscuit formulations and baking processes to consistently achieve that satisfying crispiness we all love. Credit to: Dr Alyaa

Constructing Australia's Bioeconomy - with ARC CoE in Synthetic Biology and Australian Genome Foundry
Precision Fermentation vs. General Fermentation Why It Matters The precision in precision fermentation means that the end products can be more consistent, sustainable, and scalable compared to traditional fermentation. This makes it a powerful tool for innovation in food technology, medicine, and beyond. Precision Fermentation Precision fermentation takes a more targeted approach. Here, microorganisms are genetically engineered or selected to produce a specific end product with high efficiency and purity. This technique is revolutionizing various industries, particularly food and pharmaceuticals. Key features include: - Designed Microorganisms: Microbes are modified to enhance or induce the production of a desired compound. - High Specificity: The process is tailored to yield a single, high-value product, minimizing unwanted by-products. - Applications: Production of specific proteins, enzymes, vitamins, or other bioactive compounds. For example, creating dairy proteins without cows or producing insulin for diabetes treatment. General Fermentation In traditional or general fermentation, microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast, or fungi convert organic substrates (like sugars) into different products through their natural metabolic processes. Common examples include: - Beer and Wine Production: Yeast ferments sugars into alcohol. - Yogurt and Cheese Making: Bacteria ferment lactose into lactic acid. - Bread Baking: Yeast produces carbon dioxide, causing dough to rise. In these processes, the #microorganisms are not specifically engineered; they perform a range of metabolic activities, resulting in a variety of by-products. This precision opens up new possibilities for creating high-quality, sustainable, and efficient products. #synbio #sustainable #learnnewthings
