Isolation and characterization of yeast from palmwine;- Ezeibekwe, Francis N
ABSTRACT
Palm wine
is a cheap source of yeast that can augment for the more expensive commercial
yeast. Utilizing palm wine yeasts for industrial processes requires a
comprehensive knowledge of their technological properties. In this work, yeasts
were isolated from Palm wine and subsequently characterized and identified.
Seven randomly selected palm wines were cultured by streak plate and spread
plate method. Obtained results showed three primary yeast species with varying
prevalence in palm wine samples. Three yeasts were isolated
Saccharomycescerevisiae, Saccharomyces globobus and Saccharomyces
carlsbengensis. Saccharomyces cerevisiae was found in all samples while
Saccharomyces globobus and Saccharomyces carlsbengensis had 71.43% occurrence
(5/7) and 57.14 %(4/7). Yeast isolated from palm wine can be used in the
production ofwine.
