• FERMENTATION – a metabolic process that
takes place with the release of the energy,
resulting in a molecule of sugar and starch
without air intake decompose into carbon
dioxide and ethanol (as in ANAEROBIC
respiration). Enzymes catalyze this process.
Usually it occurs in microorganisms (primarily in
yeast). Fermentation is used in the manufacture
of bread dough, wine and brewing.
• Fermentation is divided into an alcohol and
milk fermentations. In the result of an alcohol
fermentation, alcohol and carbon dioxide are
formed – this type of fermentation is widely
used in preparation of wine and dough.
• In the result of a milk fermentation, you can
obtain yogurt, buttermilk, kefir, fermented milk,
etc.
• Food fermentation performs 5 major tasks:
· Enriching food and drinks with a variety of
tastes, flavors and textures.
· Extending the life of food, using lactic acid, al-
cohol, acetic acid and an alkali fermentation.
· Biological enrichment of food with proteins,
essential amino acids, essential fatty acids
and vitamins.
· Detoxification during fermentation.
· Reduces the time and cost of cooking due to
exposure of the fibers and proteins in certain
foods (to soften meat, poultry, fish).
• Fermentation has many advantages, which
are important for cooking or preserving food.
Fermentation can yield important nutrients or
eliminate non-nutritive.
• With the help of fermentation, you can preserve
food longer, because it can create conditions
that are not suitable for undesired microorgan-
isms. For example, when pickling, the acid
produced by the dominant bacteria inhibits the
growth of other microorganisms.
PURPOSE
• The fermentation process for each of the
modes is automatically controlled by the de-
vice, which also maintains the set parameters
(temperature and time).
• The approximate fermentation time is shown
in the recipes, because the cooking time de-
pends on the ambient temperature, ingredients
as well as on the activity of enzymes and lactic
acid bacteria.
• After the process is finished, you will hear a
sound signal and display will change color.
Check if the dish or drink is ready, raise the
fermentation time if necessary.
