Fermentation Of Rice And Related Products By Bacillus Sp.

Recently’ recognition cnf immobilization ‘technology for the rapid conversion of several substrates into metabolites and repeated reuse of the biocatalysts have drawn the attention of the fermentation scientists and technologists to try these new technologies for the rapid production of pnxkmt and enhancement of the efficiencies of the systems Hence in the present study rice was selected,as a substrate since it is a rich source of starch, available and cultivated throughout the year almost in all part of our country. Rice although known for its use as a staple food in many forms as rice, idli, dosai etc., has not been used in industry extensively. However, it ii; a potential resource for’ the production of alcohol, high protein food anui for sugar and sugar syrups as it is evidenced by the few reports mentioned in the review of literature. Of the several microorganisms available, Bacillus sp, is a known candidate for the production of amylases. Hence in the present study Bacillus sp, was desired for its known efficiencies in starch conversion

Studies On Canning Of Oyster

The study was undertaken with the aim to study the variation of different components in the drip/liquid and meat sampled at different stages of processing. The fresiand the frozen oyster meat were canned in Tin and in Aluminium cans. Various media like brine, oil, tomato sauce and wine were used. Observations were made physically and chemically for the drip/liquids and the meat at different stages of processing. The chemical analysis were made for certain nutritional and mineral components
