Abstract
Fresh palm was collected from different vendors. The samples were examine for yeasts, lactic and acetic acid bacteria. Which was isolated by culturing on Saboroud dextrose agar (SDA) + chloramphemcol + yeast extract. Man Ragosa Sharpe (MRS) Agar for lactic acid bacteria and Nutrient Agar for Acetic acid bacteria by streaking on the medium. The organism were characterized, identified and screened for their pH titrable acidity (TA), acetic acid concentration, total sugars, alcohol content and sugar fermentation test, the population of the organisms was checked from the first day of 48 hours of collection. The pH in corresponding reduction ranges from (7.0-4.0) from day 1-48 hours. The total sugars (g/l) was equally in decreasing order from the first day of tapping to 48 hours (32.5-8.52). The titrable acidity increased from (2.5-9.0) from first day to 48 hours. In conclusion, saccaromyces cererisiea is the main microorganism that is identified as been responsible for the alcoholic fermentation and odorants production. Lactic acid bacteria produced by lactobacillus Species were responsible for rapid acidification of the product, and acetic acid bacteria involving acetobacter species became pronounced after the buildup in alcohol concentration.

CHAPTER ONE
1.1
Introduction
Fermentation is a technology that utilizes the growth and
metabolic activities of microorganisms for the preservation and transformation
of food materials. During food fermentation, the growth of spoilage and
pathogenic organisms is inhibited by the metabolites generated by the fermenting
organisms, thereby extending the shelf life of perishable produce. For instance,
during lactic fermentation, lactic acid bacteria synthesize metabolites such as
lactic acid, acetic acid, carbon dioxide, ethanol, hydrogen peroxide,
bacteriocins, and antimicrobial peptides (Di Cagno et al.,2013), which synergically suppress the survival and growth
of pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms.
Besides
preservation, fermentation imparts characteristic aroma, flavor, texture and
nutritional profile into food. Thus, although ancient civilizations developed
fermentation primarily as a way of preserving perishable agricultural produce,
the technology has evolved beyond preservation into a tool for creating
desirable organoleptic profiles in foods and improving their palatability.
Bread is a classic example for this case, where the primary function of dough
fermentation is to create the characteristic structure, texture, and
organoleptic profile of bread after the baking process. Fermentation also helps
to remove antimicrobial factors and toxins in food materials and improve their
nutritional profile. For instance, fermentation of soybean into products such
as tempeh (fermented) dehulled soybean with meat like flavor and texture),
natto (a fermented soybean dish from Japan with strong smell and flavor and a
slimy texture), and soy sauce (a dark brown condiment made from fermentation of
soybean, wheat, and salt) leads to reduction of anti nutritional factors such
asphytic acid and trypsin inhibitors and results in the hydrolysis of complex
soy proteins into more digestible and bio available peptides and amino acids (Chen
et al.,2013;Soni and Dey, 2014)
