Tape Making Process
Tape is a traditional fermented food that is familiar to us. The making of
this tape, involving many microorganisms. The microorganisms present in the
yeast tape are amylomyces rouxil, mucor sp, and rhizopus sp., Yeast
saccharomyces cerevisiae, and uterine candida; As well as bacteria pediococcus
sp. And baciluss sp. Both groups of microorganisms work together to produce
tape.
Fermentation is the process of
energy production in cells in anaerobic conditions (without oxygen). Sugar is a
common denominator in fermentation, some examples of fermented products are
ethanol, lactic acid, and hydrogen. Some other components may also be produced
from fermentation such as granular acid and aseson. Yeast is known as a
material commonly used in fermentation to produce alcohol in water, wine and
other alcoholic beverages.
In order to produce a sweet cassava tape, in addition to fermentation, adequate
yeast, and perfect closure during the fermentation process must be considered.
The duration of this fermentation process should not be more than three days.
If the maximum limit and the yeast is too much, resulting in cassava tape will
be soft and sour. The sour taste is due to the starch that is converted by the
amylase enzyme into sugar (sucrose converts it again into glucose, the result
is alcohol.
If the fermentation process takes too long alcohol will produce acetic acid
so it can produce a tape that feels sour. PH or high levels of acetic acid in
the tape can affect the taste of tape, can actually cause indigestion.
Fermented poses that take too long to produce enough tape water while the sweet
taste on the tape will be reduced. In the process of fermentation, glucose by
glycolytin enzyme will be broken down and produce carbon dioxide, water, and
energy. Energy is required by the amylase enzyme, intervertase in terms of
fermentation process.
According to Winarno (1989), the
process of fermentation of sugar by yeast such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae can
produce ethanol (ethyl alcohol) and carbon dioxide by reaction as follows:
C6H12O6 2C2H5OH + 2CO2.
The fermentation reaction is performed by yeast, and is used
in food production, but the fermentation reaction varies depending on the base
ingredients used. Chemical Reaction Equation on Tape Ketan:
2 (C6H10O5) n + nH2O → n C12H22O11
Amylum / starch amylase maltose
C12H22O11 + H2O → 2 C6H12O6
Maltose glucose
maltase
C6H12O6 → 2 C2H5OH + CO2
The reaction in fermentation varies depending on the type of
sugar used and the resulting product. Briefly, glucose (C6H12O6) which is the
simplest sugar, through fermentation will produce ethanol (2C2H5OH). This
fermentation reaction is carried out by yeast, and is used in food production.
Chemical Reaction Equation
C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH +
2CO2 + 2 ATP (Energy released: 118 kJ per mole)
Described as Sugar
(glucose, fructose, or sucrose) → Alcohol (ethanol) + Carbon dioxide + Energy
(ATP) The biochemical pathway that occurs, actually varies depending on the
type of sugar involved, but generally involves the pathway of glycolysis, which
is part of the initial stage of aerobic respiration in most organisms. The
final path will vary depending on the final product being generated.

Is eating excessive tape not good for health?
BalasHapusActually eating tape can have both positive and negative impacts. And the question is whether tape is damaging to health? The answer is yes because tape contains yeast which, when consumed excessively will affect health, where the dangers of yeast for the health of the body if consumed in excess is:
Hapus1. Stomachache
The dangers of yeast in women who are pregnant young then avoid foods containing yeast, because if consumed in excessive amount it will accelerate the destruction of mature oviporum cells that have just formed in the womb into a fetus. Alcohol and gas levels that exist in yeasts can irritate the digestive organs.
2. Headache dizzy
The dangers of yeast in women who are pregnant 3 weeks or under one month of pregnancy will suffer from continuous dizziness if consuming yeast-containing foods in unhygienic or unnatural doses. Alcohol in it can narrow the flow of blood to the brain causing headaches Repeatedly.
3. Stomach acid rises
The dangers of yeast in women who have not or are pregnant if consuming foods containing alcohol formed from yeast then will suffer from gastric irritation, Especially if it has a sensitive stomach then the damage that occurs will be easy to happen. That starts with the rise of stomach acid and lower abdominal pain.
4. Diarrhea Diarrhea
A person who has gastric and ulcer disease should not consume foods fermented by too much yeast. Better off because the effects of heat from alcohol levels can irritate the stomach and digestive organs, causing failure of stool or diarrhea hardening.
5. Cause of miscarriage
Sponsors Link
The danger of yeast in pregnant women who love to eat foods containing yeast during pregnancy then sooner or later will suffer a miscarriage. The heat effect on yeast alcohol can puncture the placental wall and damage the fetal muscle tissue as it burns so that fetal destruction can not be avoided (miscarriage).
6. Infant birth defects / Foetal alcohol spectrum disorder
Many pregnant women find that their pregnancies are ordinary while eating foods containing alcohol from yeast fermentation but when labor comes. So it will give birth to an unhealthy baby and have a disability. For example, small feet next door, head shrink, no eye response to movement and so on.
What are the benefits of tape for the health of the body ???
BalasHapusThe benefits of tape for health:
Hapus1. Warm Body Tape
2. Tape Helps The Body More Energy
3. Tape Can Increase Sexual Benefits
4. Tape for Acne Medication
5. Tape for Diet
6. Tape as Probiotic Source
7. Tape Improve Nervous System and Muscle
8. Tape Improve Digestive Function

Why does sticky tape produce a heat effect when eaten?
BalasHapusYeast contained in glutinous tape is also known as heat or heat-forming agent because it is processed from materials containing heat or at least can cause heat to the body of living things.
Hapusmentioned bacteria contained in the tape and its benefits?
BalasHapusSacharomycess cerevisiae bacteria serves to convert fructose and glucose into alcohol and CO2
HapusNida,In addition to tape, is there any other food that way of making using microorganisms? Please specify
BalasHapusBaking
HapusIf you eat bread or donuts, have you ever thought when baking or donut is actually also through the process of fermentation? This fermentation process is assisted by the help of yeast or yeast is a type of fungus. If you have the opportunity to pay attention to the making of bread or donuts, the flour mixture will expand. Yeast added to the flour dough will make the fermentation process, which will produce carbon dioxide gas and alcohol. The carbon dioxide gas can be useful for developing bread, while alcohol is allowed to evaporate. Furthermore, it will be seen if the dough is diesel will appear more expanding and the size is larger, this is because the gas will expand if the temperature is high. The result as you see the bread will be yellowish and soft, but if not lucky the bread will be hard and solid (bantat).
Is there any effect, if we eat tape and the contain of alcohol is too much?
BalasHapusBasically tape is a food that has an alcohol content. High alcohol content inside can narrow the flow of blood to the brain causing repeated headaches. For babies who are still in the womb, alcohol can inhibit the growth of the baby. Therefore, pregnant women should not eat the tape. Tape is not safe for the baby in the womb.
Hapuswhat materials are used in making tape other than teast ?
BalasHapusNo more, because the material of making the tape is only
Hapus-Cassava
- Yeast tapai
- Banana leaf
- Water
- gauze
The making of tape depends on the type of sugar involved. What kind of sugar is used and how does it react?
BalasHapus
HapusThe reaction in the fermentation of cassava to tape is glucose (C6H12O6) which is the simplest sugar,
Chemical Reaction Equation
C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 + 2 ATP (Energy released: 118 kJ per mole)
Described as
Sugar (glucose, fructose, or sucrose) → Alcohol (ethanol) + Carbon dioxide + Energy (ATP)
The biochemical pathways that occur, actually vary depending on the type of sugar involved, but generally involve the pathway of glycolysis, which is part of the initial stage of aerobic respiration in most organisms. The final path will vary depending on the final product being generated.
What kind of digestive disorders arise from the high acetic acid?
BalasHapusSwallowing may cause bowel obstruction.
HapusAre there any factors that affect fermentation if there is any mention?
BalasHapusFactors affecting fermentation:
HapusA. Microbes
B. Old Fermentation
C. pH (acidity)
D. Temperature
E. Oxygen
Why is yeast used as a fermentation material?
BalasHapusBecause Yeast produces a pitae enzyme that can release phosphorus bonds in phytin, so that with added yeast tape in the ration will increase the mineral availability. Yeast is catabolic or breaks down complex components into simpler substances that are more easily digested by livestock. Aspergillus flavus species are relatively inactive when compared with other cellulolytic fungi, but the enzymes produced by Aspergillus orizae and Aspergillus flavus are able to degrade cellulose and also hydrolyze xylons, with the addition of tape yeast can improve digestive activity in the livestock body so that livestock growth becomes optimal.
