The fermentation process studied was spontaneous fermentation (SF) and the fermentation with the addition of mixed-starter at the 0 hour of fermentation (FAS). Unfermented cassava flour (UCF) was also produced to serve as a control. Total cyanides and pasting properties of flours from the fermented cassava were compared with unfermented flour. RESULTS: The results showed that the addition of mixed-starter effected a significant reduction in total cyanides level (79.6% to 99%) depending on the fermentation period. Pasting properties of cassava flour were also affected by fermentation process. SF flour paste (stability ratio = 0.6) was more resistant to shear thinning than FAS and UCF (stability ratio = 0.5) indicating that, SF flour has the ability to withstand severe processing conditions better than FAS and UCF pastes. Fermentation up to 48 h had resulted in cassava flour SF having a higher peak viscosity value (6615 cP), but did not affect the tendency to retrograde. CONCLUSION: The use of mixed-starter in fermentation greatly reduced cyanide intake of the population in Africa and has potential to eliminate Konzo without significant modifications of flour properties.展开更多

Fermented milks are consumed in many parts of the world and are relished for their acidic taste and health benefits. The aim of this study was to compare effects of different ratios of DL-type starter culture： mould Geotrichum candidum grown in milk on its viscosity and sensory properties on the 5th, 10th and 15th day of storage at 4 ~C~ in order to determine the best ratio to prepare fermented milk on basis of Iranian acceptance. We have examined the production of fermented milk by 80： 20, 70： 30, and 60：40 ratios of DL-type starter culture： mould Geotrichum candidum grown in milk. The results obtained from viscosity measurement and sensory evaluation showed no significant difference between these treatments used in the study and were not satisfactory; their viscosity was not accepted and scores attributed to odour and flavor of fermented milks by panelists were low.展开更多
