Provided are a method for preparing a food product, which uses a lipase to catalyze the hydrolysis of fat and phospholipids in a base composition, and a food product produced by the method. The present method may increase the viscosity of the base composition having a low fat content and/or improve the stability of the food product even without added emulsifiers.

A flavour composition comprising a compound according to the formula (I) edible salts thereof, wherein R.sub.1 is an alkyl residue containing 6 to 20 carbon atoms, or an alkene residue containing from 9 to 25 carbon atoms with 1 to 6 double bonds, R.sub.1 together with the carbonyl group to which it is attached is a residue of a carboxylic acid, and m is 0 or 1. ##STR00001##

The disclosure discloses a method of fermenting soybeans or other oil crops by edible and medicinal fungi, and belongs to the technical field of fermentation. The method involves solid-state fermentation by inoculating edible and medicinal fungi such as i Ganoderma lucidum, Tremella aurantialba, Hericium erinaceus and Cordyceps sinensis that can produce bioactive substances such as active polysaccharides, flavonoids and triterpenoids in a fermentation substrate containing oily crops such as extruded soybeans, peanuts and rapeseeds, thereby obtaining oil and oil crop meal rich in the bioactive substances. In the oil obtained by the method, the content of flavonoids is as high as 0.302 mg/g, and the content of triterpenoids is as high as 65.663 mg/g. In the oil crop meal, the content of active polysaccharides is as high as 60.651 mg/g, the content of flavonoids is as high as 1.599 mg/g, and the content of triterpenoids is as high as 14.225 mg/g.

The disclosure relates to a strain of high-temperature sensitive S. pastorianus and application thereof and belongs to the technical field of microorganisms. In the disclosure, the S. pastorianus Pilsner is mutagenized by ARTP, based on the principle that yeast intracellular alkaline phosphatase reacts with BCIP to produce blue precipitates, screening of high-temperature sensitive mutant strains can be carried out according to the appearance time and shade of the blue, and finally a strain of high-temperature sensitive S. pastorianus P-510 is obtained after screening and quickly autolyzed at 37° C. Autolysis of P-510 at 37° C. can promote the dissolution of autolysates to obtain highly flavored nucleotides, glucan and antioxidant active substances, which can be used for production of S. pastorianus autolysates with high nutritional values.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of microorganisms and fermentation, and specifically discloses a Lactobacillus acidipiscis, a fermented soymilk, and a preparation method and use thereof. Lactobacillus acidipiscis HAU-FR7 is disclosed with a deposit number of CGMCC NO. 19253. The Lactobacillus acidipiscis HAU-FR7 is a facultative anaerobe that can reduce soy isoflavones, and the Lactobacillus acidipiscis HAU-FR7 can not only grow under aerobic conditions, but also convert daidzin and genistin distributed in the soymilk into DHD and DHG under aerobic conditions. Moreover, the Lactobacillus acidipiscis HAU-FR7 has stable conversion capacity, and solves the problem of shortage of facultative anaerobes in the research and development of soy functional foods. The DPPH radical-scavenging capacity of DHD and DHG is significantly higher than that of daidzein and genistein. Therefore, the discovery of the Lactobacillus acidipiscis HAU-FR7 will greatly promote the development and utilization of functional fermented soy products.

Method for modifying a fermented food product by acoustically treating such product, or a precursor thereof, by exposing the same to sound. The acoustic sound may be either submerged or unsubmerged into the food product or beverage during fermentation. A fermented food product made using such a method.
