Spontaneous fermentation with autochthonous yeasts is the most traditional method used for the production of black table olives, which requires minimal intervention. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of adding a brine starter, developed from one-year spontaneously fermented black table olives, on the microbiological, chemical, and sensory characteristics of naturally fermented Taggiasca table olives. The olives were fermented in brine containing 12% (w/v) NaCl with 0.6% (w/v) citric acid and inoculated with a selected brine starter containing primarily Pichia manshurica (87% predominance) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (10% predominance). Brine and olives samples were analysed at the start of the experiment and after 3, 6, 9, and 12 months of fermentation. The P. manshurica and S. cerevisiae present in the brine starter drove the entire fermentation process, along with other autochthonous species that were not included in the starter, including Zygosaccharomyces mrakii. Spoilage microorganisms and undesired off-odours and off-flavours were not present at the end of fermentation. When compared to the control, the use of the brine starter increased the total yeast population in the brine during the first 6 months of fermentation, thus shortening the debittering time of the fruits and improving the taste complexity of the final product.

Sugar palm (Arenga pinnata) is a feather palm native to tropical Asia. In Vietnam, it is named Búng Báng or Đoác and grown only on the highlands in the central or northern part of Vietnam. It is utilized for many purposes, especially for Ta Vat wine production - a characteristic and unique product of Co Tu ethnic minority. However, because of the natural fermentation used in the production, the product quality is inconsistent. The purpose of this study was to examine a new procedure of using palm sap for making Ta Vat wine. Some characteristics of the sap, which was collected at Nam Giang district, Quang Nam province are determined, proving the potential of the sap for making wine product. The quality of sap changes quickly at room temperature. At low temperature (4 - 60C), the changes in sap quality are apparently slower. Examining some factors affecting its quality during the wine fermentation process, we determined the best parameters for the fermentation process as follows: inoculum size of 3% with cell density of about 1x108 cells/ml, the addition of the extract from the bark of Ceylon ironwood (Mesua ferrea L.) 4%. Keywords: Arenga pinnata, sap, Ceylon ironwood bark, Mesua ferrea L., wine fermentation.

Pulp degradation during cocoa fermentation can be carried out by depolymerization process of pulp pectin using endogenous pectolytic enzymes at optimum condition. The objectives of this research were to study the effect of fermentation process based on optimum condition in terms of temperature and pH of pulp pectin depolymerization using endogenous pectolytic enzymes polygalakturonase (PG) and pectin metyl esterase (PME) and fermentation period in cocoa processing on quality characteristics of cocoa beans produced and to study the role of those fermentation process in reducing fermentation time to produce cocoa beans with standard quality. This research used split plot design, with treatments of process condition of cocoa fermentation as main plot and fermentation period as split plot. Treatment of process condition of cocoa fermentation consisted of optimum condition for pulp pectin depolymerization by PGs (temperature 47.5OC; initial pulp pH 4.6); optimum condition of depolymerization on sequence depolymerization by PGs (temperature 48.5OC; initial pulp pH 8.0 during 1 day; last temperature 47.5OC; initial pulp pH 4.6 during 6 days), and natural fermentation process a control. While treatment of fermentation period consisted of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 days. Evaluation of fermentation period was carried out based on pursuant to criteria of unfermented beans content and fermentation index. The results showed that process condition and fermentation time of cocoa affected quality characteristic of cocoa beans produced. Period of cocoa fermentation process based on optimum condition for pulp pectin depolymerization using endogenous pectolytic enzymes was 2 days shorter compared to natural fermentation. Cocoa beans quality of grade I and II were obtained from fermentation time of 4 and 2 days, respectively, using fermentation process based on optimum condition of pulp pectin depolymerization using endogenous pectolytic enzymes, whereas 6 and 4 days, respectively, when using natural fermentation.Key words: cocoa quality, fermentation, depolymerization, pectolytic.

Fermentation is one of the most important bioprocessing techniques used to enhance nutritional components and a reduction in anti-nutritional compounds. In the present work, germinated and ungerminated grains of white and red –brown finger millet landraces were subjected to 8, 16 and 24 hours of fermentation to find out its response in terms of nutritional, anti-nutritional compounds and antioxidant activity. White and red-brown grains showed significant response to 16 and 24 hours process in terms of nutritional and anti-nutritional changes. Significant reduction in the tannin content (73%) was noted for germinated and un-germinated grains with the enhancement in nutritional compounds. Highest antioxidant activity was noted for germinated (91%) grains of white seed coat color grains. Process of natural fermentation and the microflora produces various endogenous enzymes which causes enhancement and reduction of nutritional and antinutritional compounds. Obtained results prove the importance of fermentation process and conservation of landraces for nutritional security.

Globally, fermented beverage and condiments are made by using different conventional practices, raw materials, and microorganisms. This paper presents the available literature review on the technology and microbiology of traditional Ethiopian beverages and condiment products. Traditional fermented beverage and condiment products have essential vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and antioxidants that are all enhanced through the process of traditional fermentation practices. In Ethiopia, fermented beverage and condiment products have practiced in a long history. During the production of traditional fermented beverage and condiment products, controlled natural fermentation process with the absence of starter cultures are used to initiate it. Moreover, the preparation of many traditionally fermented beverage and condiment products is still practiced in a household art, thereby a wide variety of fermented beverages and condiments are consumed in Ethiopia. In conclusion, the review discusses the nature of the beverage and condiment preparation, poor traditional household processing, and the extent and limitation of scientific work done so far and suggests some recommendations to limit the problem in Ethiopia.
