Process chart for
hulu-mur preparation
starter. During the first fermentation stage, acidification takes place and the pH
drops from 5.9 to 3.7 [
35
]. After the first fermentation other ingredients (spices,
dates, and tamarinds) are added with some water and the mixture is allowed to fer-
ment a second time. Finally, the fully fermented dough is baked into small and thin
sheets, and the dry sheets are suspended in water to prepare the hulu-mur drink.
Relatively little research data on hulu-mur exist though Mahgoub et al. [
36
] inves-
tigated the micronutrient content and its changes in hulu-mur.
