In every ethnic group in the world, there are fermented foods produced from recipes handed down from generation to generation. Such food products play an important role in cultural identity, local economy, and gastronomical delight. The manufacture of some of the more popular fermented food products has been industrialized, while others are still produced at home using traditional methods with little scientific input. Fermentation changes the initial characteristics of a food into a product that is sig- nificantly different but highly acceptable by consumers. Of course, consumer preference for fermented food varies within and between cultures. For example, within the United States, many consumers like pickles although some do not. The trend in North America is toward acceptance and preference of foreign fermented food products. You can find fermented black beans and black bean sauce (Chinese), kimchi (Korean), and jalapen ˜ opeppers (Mexican) in almost every major grocery chain in North America. Although reference books on fermented foods have been in existence for at least 50 years, those with details on the science, technology, and engineering of food fermentation began to appear after 1980. Scientific literature in the past decade has been flooded with new applications of genetic engineering in the fermentation of food products, especially in the dairy field. This book provides an up-to-date reference for fermented foods and beverages. Almost every book on food fermentation has something not found in others. The Hand- book of Food and Beverage Fermentation Technology provides a detailed background of history, microorganisms, quality assurance, and the manufacture of general fermented food products, and discusses the production of seven categories of fermented foods and beverages: Semisolid dairy products, e.g., sour cream Solid dairy products, e.g., cheese Meat products, e.g., sausages Soy products, e.g., soy sauce Vegetables, e.g., Korean kimchi Cereal foods, e.g., sourdoughs Beverages, e.g., fermented milks Copyright 2004 by Marcel Dekker, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Traditional fermented products are discussed, including yogurt, cheese, sausages, tofu, sauerkraut, sourdoughs, and whiskey. We also present details of the manufacture and quality characteristics of some fermented foods that may not be included in other books in the English language. These include fromage frais, Scandinavian cheeses, fungal sausages, miso, Chinese pickles, African kenkey, and semifermented tea. Although this book has several unique characteristics, many topics are omitted for a variety of reasons, including space limitation, product selection, and the contributors’ areas of expertise. This book is unique in several aspects: it is an updated and comprehensive reference source, it contains topics not covered in similar books, and its contrib utors include experts from government, industry, and academia worldwide. The book has 47 chapters and is divided into eight parts. It is the cooperative effort of 59 international contributors from 17 countries with expertise in one or more fermented products, led by an editorial team of seven members from three countries. In sum, the approach for this book makes it an essential reference on food fermentation. The editorial team thanks all the contributors for sharing their experience in their fields of expertise. They are the people who made this book possible. We hope you enjoy and benefit from the fruits of their labor. We know how hard it is to dev elop the content of a book. However, we believe that the production of a professional book of this nature is even more difficult. We thank the production team at Marcel Dekker, Inc., and express our appreciation to Ms. Theresa Stockton, coordinator of the entire project. You are the best judge of the quality of this book. Y. H.

[...]... of our food supply today Millions of years before humans appeared on earth, all the chemical and enzyme reactions needed for food fermentations were present as part of the recycling reactions used by microorganisms to digest and recycle plant components; for example, fermentation of fruits and fruit juices to wine and vinegar, germination of grains as the first step in brewing alcoholic beverages, and. .. (4) III SUMMARY Fermented foods go back to the origins of microorganisms, the first forms of life on Earth followed by the evolution of plants—the basis of human foods and the subsequent interrelationships between microorganisms that have the task of recycling organic matter and the plants upon which humans and all animals depend for food and energy Plants and plant materials (foods) are subject to recycling... Fermented foods are consumed in various stages of recycling The human race has been dependent on acceptable degrees of recycling and food fermentation from the beginning of history and remains dependent still today, although modern technology canning, freezing, and dehydration—enables humans to postpone recycling and preserve foods for extended periods of time The human race has depended upon fermented foods... fermented milk products, a large number of cheeses, and a variety of sausages Popular fermented foods are listed in Table 1 together with the raw materials used and the type of culture involved in the fermentation Fermentation was invented long before the discovery of microorganisms and the mystery of the process is reflected in the common origin of the words for yeast and ghost It was understood that some... the production of raw milk cheeses, wine, sauerkraut, and some fermented sausages The production of fermented foods and the characteristic qualities of each are described in detail in other chapters of this handbook Recent comprehensive reviews of fermented foods have been edited by Wood (1) Copyright 2004 by Marcel Dekker, Inc All Rights Reserved 10 Hansen Table 1 Fermented Foods and the Required... yielded attractive aromas, flavors, and textures, humans learned to appreciate and desire such foods These were the beginning of fermented foods, including sour milk, cheeses, wines and beers, vinegar, lactic acid products such as sauerkraut, and hundreds of other fermented foods consumed today There is another factor related to fermented foods and lost in antiquity, and that is salt: common salt, sodium... paste and soy sauce had on consumers used to eating predominately bland rice It was one of the great discoveries of food science, and ` along with soy sauce and miso we have Nestle ‘‘Maggi’’-type meat flavors and bouillon cubes in today’s markets C Fermentations Yielding Meat-like Textures Indonesian tempeh fermentation is closely related to soy sauce fermentation as the first stage is an overgrowth of. .. souring of milk When humans and other animals evolved on Earth, they had to consume the food supply either before it was invaded by microorganisms and recycled or while in various stages of recycling—the fermented foods When microbes produced unpleasant aromas or flavors in the food or produced toxins that caused illness or death, the food was spoiled and humans learned to avoid it If the invasion of the food. ..
