Fermentation by its very nature is nurturing the growth of things that sterilization would kill. Sterilization is used in some situations where you would want to halt the growth of one thing in order to introduce (or re-introduce) another.

What is the soaking time required for sterilization?

The soaking time required for sterilization can vary depending on the method used. For example, chemical sterilization solutions typically require items to be soaked for 20-30 minutes to achieve sterilization. It is important to always follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific sterilization method being used.


Why does milk still ferment even though it is pasteurized?

Pasteurization doesn't remove all of the bacteria in it. Only sterilization will. Pasteurization will slow down the fermentation process for a while.


Can ammonium chloride be used for fermentation?

Ammonium chloride can be used as fermentation activator for the wines preparation.


Why is survival of bacillus used as an index of sterilization?

Survival of Bacillus spores, particularly Bacillus stearothermophilus, is used as an index of sterilization because these spores are highly resistant to heat and other sterilization methods. Their resilience makes them ideal biological indicators to test the efficacy of sterilization processes. If the spores survive, it indicates that the sterilization conditions were inadequate, while their destruction confirms that the process was effective. This reliability ensures that sterilization protocols are properly validated in healthcare and laboratory settings.


Cultures used in submerged media and surface fermentation?

Some cultures used in submerged media fermentation include Saccharomyces cerevisiae for beer production and Lactobacillus for yogurt fermentation. In surface fermentation, molds like Aspergillus oryzae are commonly used in soy sauce and miso production.
