We found no significant differences (P>0.05) in color results of treatments and control sample.
Treatments with encapsulated bacteria scored the least points regarding mouth feel compared with free bacteria samples. Sensory data showed there was no significant difference for mouth feel between bacteria type and storage stability. Krasaekoopt et al (2010) studied the sensory characteristics and consumer acceptance of fruit juice containing probiotics beads and reported that less than 20% of the consumers did not like the probiotic beads, which sometimes remained in the mouth and/or stuck in the

acidophilus treatment on the days of 30 and 60 had the lowest taste acceptance. This is due to sugar consumption of grape juice by these bacteria produce acid which increases the acidity and it is the emergence of a sour taste in the samples. At the end of the storage, samples containing encapsulated L. acidophilus scored the least regarding taste. This is due to increased acidity due to the activity of L. acidophilus in the fruit juice. B. bifidum did not show any significant difference between acceptable tastes until the end of storage time. Acidic taste in grape juice containing L. acidophilus was identified by panelist at the end of the storage due to the activity of these bacteria and acid production was higher after 30 days. Encapsulated treatments in both bacteria prevented the emergence of a sour

    For this experiment, unknown sample #12 was used. The first step in identifying any unknown bacterium is to grow a culture on a nutrient agar plate. This bacterium was also plated on a MAC plate, which is both selective for gram-negative bacteria and differential as well. On the NA plate, bright red colonies were present; on the MAC plate there was bacterial growth as well, but no color change was observed. This lack of color change on the MAC plate indicated that the bacteria did not ferment lactose.…

    A total of four microorganisms were isolated from the sample brought back from Mars. To identify the microorganisms which were isolated from the sample brought back from Mars, an rDNA sequence analysis was required. Every sequence had an S_ab score of 1.000 meaning the sequence is identical to the microorganism that it was matched to. Before gathering phenotypic results, we gathered phylogenetic data for the four microorganisms which includes Micrococcus luteus, Citrobacter freundii, Hafnia alvei, and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Micrococcus luteus is a gram positive, coccus shaped microorganism that is nonmotile and unable to grow on glucose minimal media or simmons citrate agar (Kocur, 1972;).…

    Vinegar is biodegradable liquid that consists of about 5-20% acetic acid (CH3COOH), an active ingredient produced from the fermentation of ethanol. An international team of researchers from Venezuela, France, and the US reported that acetic acid can effectively kill mycobacteria, even highly drug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. According to Canada’s National Collaborating Centre for environmental health, the acid in vinegar crosses the cell membrane of bacteria and prompts a release of protons, which causes the cell to…

    In order to detect the potential growth and the maximum growth rate of L. innocua, performing experimental inoculation challenge tests is essential to determine the efficacy of various preservatives on various microorganisms, including the Listeria species. These experiments can validate the lethality of certain treatments on foodborne microbes and benefit the food industry by finding methods to prolong shelf life of refrigerated and ambient temperature stored food products. One of the common treatments include the usage of nisin, which is one of the most effective natural compounds against the growth of Gram positive bacteria. The objectives of this experiment was to learn experimental inoculation challenge studies in food microbiology; to learn about inoculum preparation, the level of inoculum, and food product inoculation; and to study the effect of surface application of nisin on the growth and survival of L.…

    Mahnoor Rana Bio 220W: Food Ecology Research Paper Microbial Ecology of Grapes Grapes ecology is influenced by microorganisms consisting of fungi, yeasts, and bacteria which factor grapes' physical and biochemical characteristics. Some species depend on the grape ripening stage and on the availability of nutrients like yeasts and lactic bacteria, while others are only found inside the grapes, such as parasitic fungi and environmental bacteria (Barata et al. 2012). Similar to other plants grapes also have to deal with the two major microbial, fungi and bacteria. These microorganisms play a major role in grape's ecology.…

    Identification of unknown organisms is useful in a wide variety of settings; from clinical diagnostics to environmental monitoring (1). Species of bacteria can differ fundamentally in aspects ranging from morphology to metabolism. Exploiting these differences can allow for identification of unknown organisms. Gross morphological characterizations are crude, and better replaced by more accurate and specific tests. At a fundamental level, tests such as the Gram stain divide bacteria in to two broad categories based on the characteristics of their cell wall (2).…

    Conclusion: The experiment has showed how some bacteria have become extremely versatile and able to live in many environments and how other have not changed much over the course of time. It has showed how use of sugar, growth based on enzymes, and ability to ferment as well as motility can help us identify multiple bacteria and distinguish them from each other. This will be useful to come in the Isolating and Identifying Bacteria project since we have already isolated and observed the bacteria the information learned in this lab gives us ways to test and observe our bacterial cultures so we can compare results back to our data and attempt to properly identify them. Real world implications of this lab show how difficult it is to obtain growth in a lab at times and how tedious it can be, but also provides a database of sorts to look back upon to help study bacteria and identify which ones cause illness, where they can be found, how to test for them to prevent illness and contamination and possible ways to fight them knowing what they need to survive and what defenses and attributes they…
