Usage

Description

BAKERS YEAST is a type of yeast that is commonly used in the fermentation process of various industries. It is a single-celled plant that can convert sugar to carbon dioxide and is known for its high protein and vitamin content. The dried yeast is cream to brown in color and is inactivated, meaning the enzymes present are destroyed during the drying process.

Uses

Used in Food Industry:
BAKERS YEAST is used as a leavening and fermentation agent for baking, brewing, and as a food supplement. It is particularly useful in bread and dough-type mixtures, providing a distinct flavor and tender crust. It also plays a role in protein biosynthesis from various carbonaceous and nitrogenous materials, including petroleum.
Used in Biochemical Research:
BAKERS YEAST serves as a source of vitamins, enzymes, and nucleic acids, making it a valuable tool in biochemical research.
Used in Animal Feed Enrichment:
The high protein and vitamin content of BAKERS YEAST make it suitable for enriching animal feeds, particularly when the dried yeast is utilized.
Used in Skincare:
BAKERS YEAST has a rubefactant effect on the skin, making it beneficial for pale or yellow skin tones. It is often used in face masks designed to give the skin a ruddy color. However, it is important to note that yeast can cause irritation to dry or sensitive skins.
Used in Wine Fermentation:
Selected yeast strains of BAKERS YEAST are used in wine fermentation, contributing to the unique flavors and characteristics of the final product.
Occurrence:
Brewer's yeast, a related type of yeast, originates from the beer brewing process and shares some similarities with BAKERS YEAST in terms of its applications and properties.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a unicellular fungus. Yeast from S. cerevisiae is the widely used yeast species in bread and sourdoughs. It is used to produce several fermented beverages (cider, beer, 85s, and wine) and distilled beverages (brandy, sake, vodka, and whisky). S. cerevisiae has better tolerance for fermentation stresses than any other yeast species. Hence, it is a preferred starter culture for industrial fermentation.
