摘要:The effects of malting and fermentation on some physical properties and microbiological composition and safety of maize/sesame food formulations were investigated. Malted and fermented maize flours were blended with defatted sesame flour, by material balancing, to give four food formulations (Unmalted maize + defatted sesame (UMS), malted maize + defatted sesame (MMS), un-malted fermented maize + defatted sesame (UFMS) and malted fermented maize + defatted sesame (MFMS)), which all contained 16 g protein and 9 g fat/100 g food. Viscosity, functional properties and microbiological composition of flours and gruels from the food formulations were evaluated using standard methods of analysis. Malting and fermentation significantly (p Enterobacteriaceae and Staphylococcus species were predominant in the non-fermented products, while yeast dominated in the fermented products, whose gruels also inhibited growth of Staphylococcus in challenge tests.
