A low‑temperature stew that gelatinizes meat collagen while extracting delicate spice aromas.
A preservation method using salt dehydration and controlled fermentation to transform cod into a stable, flavorful product.
Bacillus subtilis var. natto metabolizes soy proteins into sticky polyglutamate chains and umami-rich peptides.
A microbial propagation technique using previous fermentate to inoculate new batches.
Back‑slopping kefir inoculation transfers a small aliquot of mature kefir culture into fresh milk to initiate fermentation.
A controlled lactic acid fermentation process using specific bacterial cultures to enhance dough structure and flavor.
Food that is covered with bacon
Bacterial cellulose is produced by Acetobacter species in static, oxygen‑rich cultures, forming a crystalline nanofibrillar network.
Bacterial fermentation converts sugars into acids, gases, or alcohols using specific microbes under controlled temperature and oxygen conditions.
Microbial conversion of lactose into lactic acid drives coagulation and flavor development in cheese and yogurt.
Bacterial fermentation for cheese and yogurt relies on lactic acid bacteria to acidify milk, precipitate casein curds, and generate flavor‑contributing peptides and fatty acids.
Starter cultures convert lactose to lactic acid, lowering pH to coagulate milk into cheese.
Bacterial fermentation of cacao beans transforms raw beans into flavor precursors for chocolate.
Lactic acid bacteria convert fermentable sugars into lactic acid, lowering pH and inhibiting spoilage microorganisms.
Bacteriocins are antimicrobial peptides produced by lactic acid bacteria that inhibit foodborne pathogens during controlled fermentations.
A non-spicy kimchi variant where lactic acid bacteria convert sugars into tangy organic acids.
Korean culinary term
Traditional method of draining cheese curds in cloth bags to create characteristic crumbly texture.
Alkaline boiling gelatinizes starch and denatures proteins for a glossy, chewy crust.
Machine that automatically produces bagels
Bagoong is a traditional Filipino fermented shrimp condiment made by salting shrimp with 20–30 % NaCl and fermenting at 20–30 °C for 3–6 months.
Bagoong is a salt‑fermented shrimp condiment produced by proteolytic breakdown of proteins into amino acids and peptides, with lactic acid bacteria lowering pH and halophilic yeasts contributing to aroma.
Bagoong shrimp is a traditional Filipino fermented shrimp condiment produced by anaerobic fermentation of crushed shrimp in a high‑salt brine.
