摘要:
Vinegar having an acetic acid concentration higher than 20 percent weight by volume is produced in a submerged fermentation by maintaining the temperature of a fermenting broth at 27.degree.-32.degree. C. until the acetic acid concentration of the fermenting broth (after the initiation of fermentation) reaches 12-15 percent weight by volume. Then the temperature of the fermenting broth is lowered by 0.5.degree. C. to 2.degree. C. Fermentation is continued at the lower temperature until the concentration of acetic acid increases by between 0.05 to 2 percent weight by volume. At this time, the temperature is again reduced by from 0.5.degree. C. to 2.degree. C. The fermentation is continued, with subsequent temperature reductions of from 0.5.degree. C. to 2.degree. C. each time that the concentration of acetic acid in the fermentation broth increases by 0.05 to 2 percent weight by volume over the highest concentration found in the course of the fermentation at the preceeding temperature stage, until the desired concentration of acetic acid is obtained. However, at no time is the temperature of the fermenting broth allowed to fall below 20.degree. C.
摘要:
Novel highly viscous acidic heterpolysaccharide AM-2 is produced from a strain of genus Acetobacter isolated from vinegar mash, and is useful as an adhesive, coating agent, drilling mud additive, enhanced oil recovering agent, etc., as well as a material useful for the production of foods, drugs and cosmetics because of its safety and high viscosity.
摘要:
Novel highly viscous polysaccharides composed mainly of (a) glucose, (b) galactose, (c) mannose, and (d) glucuronic acid, the molar ratio of (a):(b):(c):(d) being 10:3-6:0.5-2:0.5-2 (preferably 10:3-4:1-2:1-2). The invention also provides the process for producing the highly viscous polysaccharides which comprises cultivating a highly viscous polysaccharide-producing microorganism which is an acetic acid bacteria in a nutrient medium until a substantial amount of polysaccharides has accumulated in the nutrient medium, and recovering the accumulated polysaccharides from the nutrient medium.
摘要:
A finished vinegar having an acetic acid concentration higher than 20 percent weight by volume is produced by repeating a fermentation cycle wherein a broth is fermented at 27.degree.-32.degree. C. in a 1st submerged fermentation tank by a continuous batch process, and, when the acetic acid concentration of the fermenting broth reaches 12-15 percent weight by volume, the large part of the fermenting broth in the 1st fermentation tank is withdrawn and charged in a 2nd submerged fermentation tank. The 1st fermentation tank is recharged with a mash and the fermentation of the fermenting broth in the 2nd tank is continued under aeration while lowering the temperature of the fermenting broth in such manner that the final fermentation temperature does not fall below 18.degree. C. and the lowering temperature does not become higher than the temperature once lowered.
摘要:
Vinegar having an acetic acid concentration higher than 18 percent weight by volume is produced in a submerged fermentation by maintaining the temperature of the fermenting broth after the initiation of the fermentation at 27.degree.-32.degree. C. until the acetic concentration of the fermenting broth reaches 12-15 percent weight by volume and thereafter maintaining the temperature of the fermenting broth at 18.degree.-24.degree. C.
摘要:
A novel species of acetic acid bacteria belonging to the genus of Acetobacter, to which a scientific name of Acetobacter altoacetigenes MH-24 (FERM BP-491) is given. The bacteria can grow in a culture medium containing at least 4 w/v % of acetic acid with a pH of 3.5 at the highest. Pure samples of species have been isolated and used for the fermentation production of vinegar without undertaking the conventional inoculation process using the prior art seed vinegar to provide a high-quality vinegar of high acetic acid concentration such as white vinegar, with high production efficiency.
摘要:
A method for preserving soy sauce which comprises admixing therewith acetic acid and a salt of acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid or lactic acid. The amount of the acid salt is in excess of the amount of acetic acid. The method provides a sufficient antiseptic effect without producing a sour taste and without greatly lowering the pH.
