ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION Vol .02-Issue .43-November 2023 INTRODUCTION TO FERMENTED DAIRY PRODUCTS Introduction Milk has been used to produce fermented milk products as far back as 10,000 B.C. in different regions worldwide. The benefits of fermented milk products include enhanced digestibility, new and unique flavours, added probiotics, vitamins and minerals, and preservation products for food that usually has a concise shelf life. Principle Fermentation is a metabolic process that produces chemical changes in organic substrates through the action of enzymes. Fermented milk products are created when milk ferments with specific kinds of bacteria called Lactobacilli or Bifidobacteria. In other words, it can also be said that fermentation is partial digestion by bacteria. The fermentation process increases the shelf life of the product while enhancing the its digestibility of its milk taste and improving How it works? 1.Microorganisms survive using carbohydrates (sugars, such as glucose) for energy and fuel. 2. Organic chemicals like adenosine triphosphate (ATP) deliver that energy to every part of a cell when needed. to 1. Microbes generate ATP using respiration. Aerobic respiration, which requires oxygen, is the most efficient way to do that. Aerobic respiration begins with glycolysis, where glucose is converted into pyruvic acid. When there is enough oxygen present, aerobic respiration occurs. 2. Fermentation is similar to anaerobic respiration —the kind that takes place when there isn’t enough oxygen present. However, fermentation leads the production of different organic molecules like lactic acid, which also leads to ATP, unlike respiration, which uses pyruvic acid. 3. Depending upon environmental conditions, individual cells and microbes have the ability to switch between the two different modes of energy production. energy obtain 4. anaerobically fermentation, but some systems use sulfate as the electron transport chain's final electron acceptor. Organisms commonly through Different Fermented Dairy Products There are various fermented dairy products in the market. Fermented milk products also known as cultured dairy products are dairy foods which have been fermented by a consortium of lactic acid (LAB) responsible for the curdling or bacteria souring of milk. LAB are best-suited organisms for milk fermentation while preserving the taste and nutritional properties. READ MORE.... PMG DESIGN+BUILD FOOD FACTORIES.

It is a popular dessert and a part of the meals on festive occasions, especially in Gujarat and Maharashtra. The product has a shelf life of 40 days under refrigeration at 8°C or below. 3..Buttermilk: Buttermilk is a popular fermented dairy drink. This can be salted, without salted and/ or spicy variant. It is manufactured by breaking the curd.

ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION Vol .02-Issue .43-November 2023 MODIFIED ATMOSPHERIC PACKAGING Introduction Isn't it interesting to know that Injecting a gas increases the product's shelf life and offers extra protection, which prevents from discolouration. Usually, a mixture of nitrogen (N2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) is used. Dioxygen (O2) can also be added to this combination. The use of argon (Ar) has been increasing, as this contains the same properties as nitrogen (N2). the product By reducing oxygen and replacing it with other gases, we can reduce or delay unwanted reactions. So, to change a package's atmosphere, the oxygen contained within must be reduced or removed. Thus, the MAP process lowers the volume of oxygen contained within the empty space of the packaging containing the product or Oxygen is often replaced with other gases. Gases used in MAP It life of a product. It is the practice of modifying the composition of the food packages' internal atmosphere to improve the shelf is a kind of replacement of air in a pack with a single gas or mixture of gases; where each component's proportion is fixed when the mixture is introduced. initial No further control composition.

It also causes high fruit and vegetables, leading to shortened shelf life. The presence of oxygen encourages the growth of aerobic spoilage microorganism and the potential formation of other unwanted microorganisms may also occur. in factors. For these reasons, 1. Oxygen (O2): Food deteriorates due to physical, chemical and microbiological in modified atmosphere packaging, oxygen is either excluded or the levels set as low as possible. The exceptions occur where oxygen is needed for fruit and vegetable respiration, colour retention as in red meat, or to avoid anaerobic conditions in whitefish. One of the significant functions of O2 in MAP meats its oxygenated form, oxymyoglobin. This is the form responsible for the bright red colour, which most consumers associate with fresh red meat In MAP, oxygen levels usually are set as low as possible to reduce oxidative deterioration of foods. to maintain myoglobin in is 2.

Nitrogen (N2) : Nitrogen is an inert, tasteless gas, which displays little or no antimicrobial activity on its own. However, because of its low solubility in water and fat, the presence of N2 in a MAP food can prevent pack collapse. In foods such as nuts, removing oxygen to <%1 by nitrogen flushing helps prevent fats. Nitrogen can also oxidative rancidity of indirectly in the microorganisms perishable foods by retarding the growth of aerobic spoilage organisms influence 4. Noble gases : He, Ne, Ar and Xe are the members of this group. Ar is the main gas used in MAP,it can replace nitrogen to fill in wine bottleneck before corking, can prevent growth of in foodstuff such as broccoli and lettuce. the microorganism Modification techniques 1. Gas flushing: During a gas flush process, a harmless gas (usually nitrogen) is actively pumped into the bag before sealing to displace ambient oxygen. This is done to decrease the amount of oxygen in turn inside the package, which will decrease the rate of spoilage, as oxygen is one of the top killers of freshness. 2. Barrier films: Plastic films and foils are used to seal the MAP food packaging. Once Nitrogen or other gas flushes the Oxygen out from the package, the barrier film protects the food from further involvement with Oxygen. 3. On-package valves: One-way valves added to the exterior of packaging are another example of MAPallow certain gases to escape from the package without allowing any outside gases in. This is often done to release pressure from off-gassing, which is when products release gases or other compounds. Most often used in the coffee industry 4. Scavenger or desiccant packs: Another example of MAP packaging is adding an oxygen scavenger or desiccant pack to the packaging. These small sachet-type packages often contain a mixture of iron powder and ascorbic acid, and sometimes activated carbon. These ingredients act as catalysts or activators, absorbing ambient moisture and oxygen, thereby removing it from the packaging's interior that houses the perishable product. Conclusion There are many advantages of MAP in fruit and vegetables, but the most obvious one must be shelf life extension. By decreasing the amount of available oxygen to the produce, the respiration rate and the rate of all metabolic processes are correspondingly decreased. This results in delayed ripening and senescence. Challenges in MAP includes the cost of packaging material, storage temperature and specific gas composition for a specific product. Every technology has its own pros and cons, and hence balance has be achieved in such a way that can assure safety and quality. PMG DESIGN+BUILD FOOD FACTORIES.
