Identification and assessment of kefir yeast potential for sugar/ethanol-resistance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Biochemical and molecular analysis was used for identification of different kefir yeasts species from Brazil, Canada and the United States of America. The sugar/ethanol-resistant activity of the yeasts was evaluated. Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Kluyveromyces marxianus had the highest growth rates, suggesting biotechnological applications possible for these strains.

متن کاملEvaluation of Flavor and Aroma Compounds Present in Kefir
ABSTRACT: Kefir is fermented milk that has a unique flavor because of acetaldehyde, diacetyl, acetoin and ethanol. The aim of this study was to evaluate flavor and aroma compounds present in kefir. Two types of starter (Christian Hansen and Sacco) and three levels of temperatures (30, 33 and 35oC) were used for the preparation of kefir samples. The samples were analyzed for acetaldehyde, diacet...

Because of the high energy consumption for fermentor cooling, the isolation of thermo-tolerant Acetobacter strains for vinegar production has a high priority. The aims of this study were the isolation and identification of a high ethanol-thermo-tolerant Acetobacter spp. from grapes as well as the optimization of conditions for increasing the acetic acid production. The grape e...
