BIOPRESERVATION
• Biopreservation use of antagonistic microorganisms to inhibit or destroy undesired
microorganisms in foods to enhance food safety and extend shelf life.
• In order to achieve improved food safety & to harmonize consumer demands with the
necessary safety standards, traditional means of controlling microbial spoilage and safety
hazards in foods are being replaced by combinations of innovative technologies that include
biological antimicrobial systems such as lactic acid bacteria (LAB).
• The basic function of LAB is in food fermentation and recognized as GRAS. It helps in
protection of nutritional qualities of raw material, enhances the shelf life of food and
protects food against spoilage and pathogenic organisms.
FERMENTED LEGUME
PRODUCT
(DOUCHI)
Fermented and salted black
soybeans
Traditional salt-fermented
soybean product that originated in
China
Aspergillus-type douchi is the
earliest, and has been the most
popular type
Exact processing method and
benefit of human health
FERMENTED DAIRY PRODUCT

FERMENTED VEGETABLE
PRODUCT
(KIMCHI)
◦ Region : Korea
◦ Major ingredient : Chinese cabbage or radish
◦ Sub ingredient : chili powder, ginger, green onion, garlic, and salted seafood
◦ Taste : Fermented shredded cabbage with a very spicy with sour, sweet and
carbonated taste
◦ Product : rich in various biological compounds such as dietary fiber, vitamin C, β-
carotene, β-sitosterol, minerals
PREPARATION
METHOD OF
KIMCHI
• The quality or taste of kimchi are depending: ingredients, processing methods and condition of fermentation.
• Many bacteria are involved in kimchi fermentation but lactic acid bacteria are the main while the harmful bacteria are
suppressed during cabbage salting and fermentation
Fermentation of the vegetable
Low-calorie food with rich in ingredients by probiotic LAB
various biological compounds such improves taste, preservation
as dietary fiber, vitamin C, β- properties and functionality of
carotene, β-sitosterol and minerals kimchi.
