Brewing and baking and mycoprotein
Ancient biotechnologies(mycoprotein is not ancient!)
Bread making Basic ingredients are
wheat, water, yeast, fat, sugar and salt.
Dough is made by mixing ingredients together.
Dough then ferments at 27oC in a humid atmosphere.
Bread making The yeast,
Saccharomyces cerevisiae, feeds on the sugar breaking it down anaerobically to ethanol and carbon dioxide.
Bread making
The bubbles of CO2 remain trapped in the sticky dough causing it to rise.
Dough is then cut and placed in loaf tins.
Dough then goes through a final fermentation at 45oC.
Bread making The baking kills the
yeast, evaporates off the alcohol and cooks the flour.
A modern bakery can make 10 000 loaves of bread per hour.
Beer Making Most beers are made
from barley and hops. The process consists
of seven stages!
Beer Making
Malting Barley steeped in water Then allowed to
germinate. Gibberellic acid is added
to speed up germination During process amylases
are mobilised (to hydrolyse seeds starch into maltose)
Beer Making
Kilning Malt is gradually
heated to between 65 and 80oC
This kills the embryos without destroying the amylase.
Higher the temp. – the darker the beer.
Beer Making
Milling Barley grains then
crushed into a powder called grist.
Beer Making
Mashing The grist is mixed with
water at 65o C. The amylase breaks down
the starch into sugars. The nutrient rich liquor
(sweet wort) is separated from the spent grains.
The spent grains can be used as cattle feed.
Beer Making
Boiling Hops added for bitter
flavour Further enzyme action
is stopped Full flavour is
extracted.
Beer Making
Fermentation Boiled wort is cooled
to 30oC and innoculated with yeast
Left to ferment for 7 to 10 days.
Sugars turned into alcohol and CO2
Beer Making
Finishing Beer is filtered (spent
yeast sold to make yeast extract – Marmite)
Modern beers are pasteurised, standardised and finally bottled or canned.
Mycoprotein
A food protein made from microorganisms
Mycoprotein
Made from the hyphae of the fungus Fusarium graminearum
Cultured on a solution ofglucose from cereal starch (carbon source)ammonia (nitrogen source)mineral saltscholine (promotes longer hyphal growth)
Mycoprotein
Cultured in air lift fermenter Culture maintained at 30oC to promote
optimum growth rate. Grown by continuous culture. High in protein but low in fat – a healthy
food?
Mycoprotein
Problem is that it contains too much RNA This has to be removed by enzymes. Tastes of nothing! Fungal hyphae do resemble myofibrils in
meat. Marketed under the name of Quorn.
