Item type:Publication, Luffa sponge offsets the negative effects of aeration on bacterial cellulose production(2016-12-01); ; Aims: To offset the negative effects of aeration on bacterial cellulose (BC) production by acetic acid bacteria using enmeshed cellulose microfibrils (CM) on luffa sponge matrices (LSM). Methods and Results: The CM were enmeshed on LSM (LSM-CM). The optimal amount of LSM-CM was determined for BC production under aerated conditions. Without LSM-CM, no BC was produced in seven out of nine production cycles at the highest aeration rate (9 l min<sup>−1</sup>). However, with 0·5% LSM-CM and an aeration rate of 3 l min<sup>−1</sup>, a satisfactory oxygen transfer coefficient was achieved, and also a good yield of BC (5·24 g l<sup>−1</sup>). Moreover, the LSM-CM was able to be recycled through nine consecutive BC production cycles. The highest BC yields (from 5·8 ± 0·4 to 6·6 ± 0·4 g l<sup>−1</sup>) were associated with high bacterial biomass and this was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. Conclusions: We confirm that LSM-CM works well as a starter. Microenvironments low in dissolved oxygen within the matrices of LSM-CM are important for BC production under aeration conditions. Significance and Impact of the Study: The LSM-CM provides a microenvironment which offsets the negative effects of aeration on BC production. A sustainable, economic process for mass BC production is described using recycled LSM-CM with aeration. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Baby corn fermented vinegar and its vapour control postharvest decay in strawberries(2015-07-03); ; Infection by Botrytis cinerea is a major cause of postharvest decay in strawberries. The efficacy of baby corn fermented vinegar (BFV) for growth inhibition of B. cinerea was investigated by diffusing 0%-0.225% acetic acid from BFV or glacial acetic acid into potato dextrose agar. BFV containing 0.225% acetic acid completely inhibited the growth of B. cinerea. Strawberry-flavoured baby corn fermented vinegar (SF-BFV) was developed to mask unfavourable smells caused by BFV. The effectiveness of BFV liquid and vapour for controlling postharvest decay in strawberries was evaluated along with associated sensory analyses. Taste panellists readily accepted fruit that had been sprayed with SF-BFV or exposed to BFV vapour, both treatments that significantly reduced fruit decay. Strawberries inoculated with B. cinerea were also tested. Shelf life at 4°C of strawberries sprayed with SF-BFV was extended to 7 days while that of fruit exposed to BFV vapour was extended to 11 days.
