On day 2 of my latest experiment... Making homemade #LacticAcidBacteria! (TY to @Broadfork for the suggestion.)

Making LAB (Lactic Acid Bacteria) at Home

by heather5904, May 15, 2024

"Microbes can work wonders for your plants and soil. One such microbe, Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB), is easy to cultivate at home using simple ingredients: rice, milk, and water.

Here is the step-by-step process of making your own LAB."

Harnessing Microbial Magic: The Fascinating World of Curd Production

#Bacteria, #BacteriaMakingCurd, #Curd, #CurdBacteria, #Fermentation, #LAB, #LacticAcid, #LacticAcidBacteria, #MakingOfCurd, #Streptococcus, #Thermophilus #FoodMicrobiology In the realm of dairy products, curd holds a significant place, not only for its delightful taste and creamy texture but also for its numerous health benefits. What might surprise many is that this dairy delicacy owes its existence…

⭐️ Malolactic fermentation affects wine’s texture and flavor, and letting it roll (or not) depends on tradition, fashion, chemistry, and more. My new Wine Science piece for Terroir Review tackles this magnificent microbial process. Enjoy! ⭐️

Blessed are the (tiny) cheesemakers https://knowablemagazine.org/article/food-environment/2022/blessed-are-tiny-cheesemakers

#Cheese is not just a tasty snack — it’s an #ecosystem. And the fungi and bacteria within that ecosystem play a big part in shaping the flavor and texture of the final product. As a cheese matures, the #LacticAcidBacteria and other early colonists give way to other species of #bacteria and, eventually, #fungi, in a process known as ecological succession.
