啤酒酵母生物吸附镉的研究

研究了啤酒酵母在游离与固定化条件下对重金属离子Cd^2 的生物吸附特性。灭活的啤酒酵母在适当条件下对Cd^2 有较强的吸附作用,它的吸附能力受到酵母浓度、Cd^2 浓度、pH值和固定化方法等的影响。结果显示：实验条件下,啤酒酵母的最高吸附率达93％,此时的吸附能力为46．5mg Cd^2 ／g干酵母。吸附后用1mol／L的HC1解吸,解吸率达84％。用海藻酸钙凝胶包埋法对啤酒酵母细胞进行固定化,固定化细胞对Cd^2 的吸附主要受到海藻酸钠浓度和Cal2浓度的影响,且凝胶本身对Cd^2 的吸附能力不能忽略。

Downstream process for the production of yeast extract using brewer's yeast cells

A downstream process was developed for the production of yeast extract from brewer's yeast cells. Various downstream processing conditions including clarification, debittering, and the Maillard reaction were considered in the development of the process. This simple and economic clarification process used flocculating agents, specifically calcium chloride (1%). After the clarification step, a Maillard reaction is initiated as a flavor-enhancing step. By investigating the effects of several operation parameters, including the type of sugar added, sugar dosage, glycine addition, and temperature, on the degree of browning (DB), glucose addition and reaction temperature were found to have significant effects on DB. A synthetic adsorption resin (HP20) was used for the debittering process, which induced a compositional change of the hydrophobic amino acids in the yeast hydrolysate, thereby reducing the bitter taste. The overall dry matter yield and protein yield for the entire process, including the downstream process proposed for the production of brewer's yeast extract were 50 and 50%, respectively.     

Effects of torula and brewer's yeast diets in obese and lean mice

Obese C57BL/6J-OB mice (ob/ob) and their lean littermates (?/+) were fed either torula yeast-based diet (TY) or brewer's yeast-based diet (BY) for a 23-d experimental period. Obese mice fed the BY diet had significantly lower liver weights than did mice fed the TY diet. Likewise, plasma glucose and insulin were significantly lower in obese mice fed the brewer's yeast diet (BY) than the torula yeast diet (TY). Liver weight and plasma glucose and insulin of lean mice were not significantly affected by diet during the experimental period. Despite the low Cr content of both TY and BY diets, bone Cr of the TY and BY groups was significantly higher than concentrations previously reported for the groups fed casein-based diets. The obese mouse may be particularly sensitive to Cr, making it a valuable model for elucidating effects of other dietary components on chromium status.

Yeast diversity of Ghanaian cocoa bean heap fermentations

The fermentation of the Theobroma cacao beans, involving yeasts, lactic acid bacteria, and acetic acid bacteria, has a major influence on the quality of the resulting cocoa. An assessment of the microbial community of cocoa bean heap fermentations in Ghana resulted in 91 yeast isolates. These were grouped by PCR-fingerprinting with the primer M13. Representative isolates were identified using the D1/D2 region of the large subunit rRNA gene, internal transcribed spacer sequences and partial actin gene sequences leading to the detection of 15 species. Properties of importance for cocoa bean fermentation, namely sucrose, glucose, and citrate assimilation capacity, pH-, ethanol-, and heat-tolerance, were examined for selected isolates. Pichia kudriavzevii ( Issatchenkia orientalis ), Saccharomyces cerevisiae , and Hanseniaspora opuntiae formed the major components of the yeast community. Hanseniaspora opuntiae was identified conclusively for the first time from cocoa fermentations. Among the less frequently encountered species, Candida carpophila, Candida orthopsilosis, Kodamaea ohmeri, Meyerozyma ( Pichia ) caribbica, Pichia manshurica, Saccharomycodes ludwigii , and Yamadazyma ( Pichia ) mexicana were not yet documented from this substrate. Hanseniaspora opuntiae was preferably growing during the earlier phase of fermentation, reflecting its tolerance to low pH and its citrate-negative phenotype, while no specific temporal distribution was recognized for P. kudriavzevii and S. cerevisiae .
