  • Yeasts are unicellular eukaryotic microorganisms of the fungus kingdom, of which there are more than 1,500 known species. Yeast sizes can vary greatly, depending on species and environment, though typically measuring 3-4 ⁇ in diameter. Most yeasts reproduce asexualiy by mitosis, and many do so by the asymmetric division process known as budding. Yeasts do not form a single taxonomic or phylogenetic grouping. Their phylogenetic diversity is shown by their placement in two separate phyla: the Ascomycota and the Basidiomycota. Typically, the budding form of yeasts are classif ed in the order Saccharomycetales.
  • Yeast is used in many diverse industrial and commercial applications, in particular for the fermentation of sugars. Yeast is also used as an important organism in research, noting that it is one of the most thoroughly researched eukaryotic microorganisms. Yeast also has utility in the generation of electricity in microbial fuel cells, in the production of biofuels ⁇ e.g., ethanol) and in probiotics.
  • yeasts are used for making fermented beverages and food, such as baker's yeast in bread production, brewer's yeast in beer fermentation, and yeast in wine fermentation, where yeast species such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae are used to convert carbohydrates (sugars) to carbon dioxide and alcohols.

Next, the grapes are transferred to a stemmer/crusher where the stems are removed and the grapes are crushed. After crushing and de-stemming, the juice, now called must, is placed into the fermentation vats and a yeast starter culture is added to start the fermentation.

  • the grapes are allowed to ferment to an alcohol content of approximately 10%. After fermentation the wine is distilled to purify and increase the alcohol concentration to approximately 36-60%. Brandy is usually double-distilled, meaning that the alcohol is concentrated twice. For example, it takes about 34L of wine to make 3.8L of brandy. After a first distillation, which takes about eight hours, the concentrated liquid has an alcohol content of approximately 26-32%. The product of a second distillation has an alcohol content of approximately 72%. The higher the alcohol content the more neutral (e.g., tasteless) the brandy. Next, the brandy is transferred to oak casks and allowed to age. Most brandy consumed today, even fine brandy, is less than six years old. However, some fine brandies are more than 50 years old. As the brandy ages, it absorbs flavors from the oak while its own structure softens, becoming less astringent. Through evaporation, brandy will lose about 1% of is alcohol content per year for the first 50 years or so that it is on oak.

Individual colonies were selected for subculture and were preserved as single colony subcultures at -80°C and as agar slopes. Individual colonies were studied by sequencing their genetic code, which was subsequently compared to databases of similar microorganisms. As shown in Figures I and 2, the Saccharomyces strain V16/014811 was identified as being unique when compared to reference brewing (baking, wine and beer) yeasts, and was identified as a rare three way hybrid of early brewing heritage.

The broth was stirred slowly for a period of approximately 8 hours with the bottle lid loosened but not open to allow gas to escape. Significant additional yeast growth was used during this period. At the conclusion of this period, the yeast is suitable for use as a starter for the brewing process. The entire content of the bottle was used as a starter for a brew volume of 25 litres,
  • Beer was brewed by creating a 5kg barley mash/25 litre water wort comprising 170g crystal malt barley, 1.5g Calcium sulphate, 50g Kentish Goldings (Hop plant variety). Heating was by conventional methods, for approximately one hour to produce a wort mixture. The approximately ten minutes prior to completion of the heating period, 50grams of Kenti h Goldings was added and I g proprietary seaweed-based flocculating agent to promote clarity.

  • Example 2 Method of producing ethanol by distillation
  • a possible application of the yeast strain is in the production of ethanol by distillation.
  • An illustrative example is in the production of ethanol for human consumption in distilled beverages.

  • yeast strain V16/014811 Another application of yeast strain V16/014811 is in the production of dough for bread and other baked goods. This study was undertaken to assess whether yeast strain V16/01481 1 is a suitable substitute for bread making, The following method was used:
  • yeast prorogation broth comprising
  • the broth was transferred to ten sterile Falcon tubes. Eight of the tubes were inoculated with yeast strain V16/014811, two acting as contamination controls. The inoculated tubes were maintained at 20°C for 72 hours, and manually agitated at approximately 8 hour intervals.
  • This bread starter was added to a mixture comprising three cups of freshly ground white wheat flour (high protein, bread making), 5 grams sugar, 2 g salt (NaCl) and 330ml deionised sterile water, all mixed in a sterile stainless steel container. The mixture was allowed to stand at 25°C for 24 hours, lightly covered in plastic film to allow evolved gas to escape. Over this period the mixture expanded to approximately three times its volume with visible gas bubbles.
  • the mixture was kneaded using a dough hook on a clean kitchen mixing machine for 5 minutes at low speed.
  • the mixture was shaped into a bail and placed onto a metal oven tray. It was allowed to rest for 4 hours at approximately 25°C while covered in a loose plastic film. During this time, the mixture was observed to rise (bread proofing) and undertake the typical shape of an unbaked sourdough bread loaf,
  • the proofed bread dough was placed into a pre-heated electric commercial kitchen oven at 230°C for 40 minutes, during which time it was observed to further rise and forms a brown crust. When removed from the oven, the mixture was observed to have a characteristic appearance of bread. When cut, the bread had lightly aerated structure and moist appearance, characteristic of sourdough bread loaf with slow yeast growth characteristics. The bread did not have unpalatable odours or flavours, and was observed to have a slightly fragrant/fruity odour that was atypical of sourdough yeast bread. Similar results were observed for each of the eight replicated bread making processes.
  • yeast strain V16/01481 1 was observed to have properties of vigorous growth in sugar solutions. Following that observation, this study was undertaken to determine whether yeast strain V16/014811 could be used to ferment honey and make mead, noting that honey contains a sugar mixture that many commercial yeast varieties cannot successfully ferment. [0111] Under sterile conditions, a yeast prorogation broth was prepared comprising:
  • the conical flask was sealed with a silicon stopper which contained a water air lock device to exclude new air from entering the flask and allow carbon dioxide created during fennentation to escape the flask,
  • the flask was wrapped in aluminium foil to exclude light and the mixture was allowed to ferment for 8 weeks.
  • the fermentation process was observed to be fast. Fermentation appeared to have stopped after 6 weeks. After 8 weeks, the specific gravity- was measured, suggesting an alcohol content of about 10 to 1 1%.
  • a second sterile 5000 L conical flask was prepared, and the Mead was "racked” to clear the mead by siphoning the contents of the first flask into the second flask, with the objective of leaving behind yeast sediment in the first flask bottom.
  • a "Camden” tablet was added to the second flask to aid in clumping and precipitation of yeast and other solution residue at the base of the second flask.
