正文:
Controlled rot—fermentation—is the process of converting carbohydrates into alcohols and carbon dioxide with the help of microorganisms like yeasts and bacteria, typically in an anaerobic—that is, oxygen-depleted—environment. Disgusting as this may sound, many of the fermented products that we enjoy today, such as bread, wine, beer, cheese and natto, were conceived because some benign bacteria fell off human skin and landed in a pail of milk, for example. In fact, the same bacteria responsible for foot odor are in many cheeses. Even though fermentation involves the introduction of foreign microbes into the things we eat, these microorganisms actually protect against the invasion of dangerous germs. Of the millions of bacterial species on the planet, only about fifty are harmful to humans, and we are generally protected against these by the throng of safe bacteria that live in our bodies, the soil, water, and air Fermentation does not require human intervention. Many foods will naturally ferment once they are past their prime, but humans have been meddling in the process for the benefits of alcohol for an estimated 8,000 years. Fermentation can also be manipulated to encourage mold growth, as in the production of blue cheeses and the Chinese delicacy of “hundred-year-old” eggs. The common characteristics of fermented foods tend to be strong aromas and sour taste, due to the acids that are a by-product of the fermentation process.
