Published: November 2002

A novel multi-components microcapsule--SA/CS-CaCl2/PMCG system was introduced. The effects of PMCG and SA/CS-CaCl2/PMCG microcapsules on the growth of free E. coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were studied respectively. In addition, the growth of immobilized E. coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were also investigated. The results showed that: Just like other synthetic polycations, PMCG above certain concentration (0.5%) strongly inhibited the growth of free E. coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but SA/CS-CaCl2/PMCG microcapsules almost had no effects on their growth and on the consumption of glucose concentration by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. What's more, immobilized E. coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae grew almost as normally as free cultivation. As a whole, SA/CS-CaCl2/PMCG microcapsules had good biocompatiability and can be used as a new immobilization system.

The impact of yeast strain selection on bread quality was evaluated using a range of commercial strains, typically employed in various alcoholic beverage productions, to determine their effectiveness in bread making. The final products made from these strains were compared to bread produced using the commercial baker's strain ACY298. Key parameters, including specific volume, hardness, pH, residual sugars, and organic acids, were thoroughly assessed.

Components of yeast cell walls, such as β-glucans and mannoproteins, show promise for developing sustainable biopolymers for food packaging. Efficient extraction, however, is challenging due to the complexity of the yeast cell wall. This study explored high-pressure homogenisation (HPH) and pulsed electric fields (PEFs), alone and with heat treatment (TT), on bakery yeast (BY) and brewery spent yeast (BSY) biomasses.

Proline is the most abundant amino acid in wine and beer, largely due to the limited utilization of proline by the yeast during fermentation. Previous studies have shown that the arginine transporter Can1 plays a role in regulating proline utilization by acting as a transceptor, combining the functions of both a transporter and a receptor for basic amino acids. However, the -disrupted strains have exhibited the inhibition of proline utilization under nutrient-rich conditions, indicating that additional factors beyond basic amino acids contribute to the inhibition of proline utilization.

The systems of are defined by the co-infection of two viral agents, an M virus and a helper virus. Each toxin is determined by the type of M virus (ScV-M1, ScV-M2, ScV-M28, and ScV-Mlus), which encodes a specific toxin (K1, K2, K28, and Klus). Since their discovery, interest in their potential use as antimicrobial agents has driven research into the mechanisms of action of these toxins on susceptible cells.

This study investigates the impact of key factors on the formation of odorants and sensory properties in mead. The effects of the honey type (acacia, buckwheat, linden), wort heating, and the fermentation method (commercial yeasts, spontaneous fermentation, molds) were examined. Twelve model mead batches were produced, matured for 12 months, and analyzed using gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) and headspace SPME-GC/MS to identify odor-active compounds.
