Yeast has been a very helpful organism for centuries, especially with respect to fermentation of sugars and production of bread. However, for an even longer time, yeast has been a distant relative of humans having diverged from a common ancestor, about one billion years ago. More than one third of the yeast genes have human counterparts, despite this evolutionary distance. Yeast and human ortho...

wheat flour is a commodity with a high risk of aflatoxins (afs) contamination. during the bread making there are many processes that can affect the afs stability. the effect of bread making process using different yeast types on afs levels was investigated. for this purpose, standards of afs including b and gwere added to flour and then bread loaves were prepared. three types of commercially av...

this study was conducted to investigate the effects of brewer's yeast supplementation on serum lipoproteins and blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.in a randomized double blind clinical trial, 90 adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus were recruited, and divided randomly into 2 groups, trial group received brewer's yeast (1800 mg/day) and control group received placebo for 12...

anti-microbial effects of the lactic acid bacteria have been studied and proved in various investigations. this investigation aimed to study the anti-yeast effect of two isolated lactic acid bacteria species from “chal” (a product from yogurt) as biological preservatives in doogh. to do so, anti-yeast activity of l. brevis and e. faecium against saccharomyces cerevisiae, kluyveromyces. marxianu...

the aim of this study was to determine the effect of yeast culture (saccharomyces cerevisiae sc 47) addition in the diet of dairy cows on their rumen fermentation and milk production. animals received a diet tmr based on good maize silage with a higher dry matter content (14 kg), 14 kg of lucerne-grass haylage, 5 kg of crushed ears of maize, 5 kg of beet pulp silage, 3 kg of crimped wheat, 2 kg...

steady state and dynamic fermentations of baker's yeast in molasses based media were analyzed in a laboratory scale bioreactor. sugar and biomass balances together with the monod biokinetics were used to develop the process model. parameters of the model were obtained using collected experimental data. model predicted open loop responses to step changes in feed concentration as well as dilution...
