Growth Parameters and Survivability of for Probiotic Alcoholic Beverages Development.

The aim of this research was to optimize the growth parameters (pH, ethanol tolerance, initial cell concentration and temperature) for and its tolerance to gastrointestinal conditions for probiotic alcoholic beverage development. Placket-Burman screening was used to select only statistically significant variables, and the polynomial mathematical model for yeast growth was obtained by central composite rotatable design. Confirmation experiments to determine the kinetic parameters for yeast growth were carried out by controlling the temperature and pH. Soon after, the survivability of yeast was tested under conditions mimicking the human upper gastrointestinal transit. had suitable resistance to alcohol and gastrointestinal conditions for probiotic alcoholic beverage development.
