Abstract: The present invention relates to dough compositions, adapted for storage under refrigerated conditions, a method for preparing the dough compositions, and baked products containing the dough composition. The dough compositions contain at least one strain of a lti-yeast and one or more sugars fermentable by the lti-yeast in an amount so that the dough composition will give rise to a CO2 production of between about 50 to 250 ml/100 g dough within a time period not exceeding 1 week after the dough is prepared and a total amount of CO2 production during the 5 week period after the dough is prepared being limited to about 400 ml/100 g dough. The refrigeratable dough composition provide baked goods having excellent texture and flavor even when being stored for a prolonged period of time.

Abstract: A method of introducing a property of a particular yeast strain, based on a recessive allele, into the genetic background of an industrial baker's yeast; as well as yeast strains obtainable according to the method. In particular, a method is disclosed to introduce an lti-property into the genetic background of industrial baker's yeast. The novel strains obtained according to the method may be used for the preparation of a dough and for the manufacture of baked products therefrom, such as on an industrial scale.

Abstract: Process for developing a baker's yeast strain having an Lti property, in which a haploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain having an Lti property is first crossed with a haploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain having at least one MAL allele which is active but under catabolic repression, then in a second stage, the segregants are crossed, and finally, a prototrophic diploid strain having an Lti phenotype, a Mal phenotype which is active but under catabolic repression, and a potential for growing in a fed-batch process, is selected. Industrial baker's yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae which has a growth yield in a fed-batch process of 0.1 to 0.5 g of dry biomass/g of sugar, a CO.sub.2 production of less than 15 ml/h/kg of dough up to 8.degree. C., of less than 20 ml/h/kg of dough up to 12.degree. C., and also less than 10 ml per g of compressed yeast up to a temperature of 18.degree. C., after 4 days of culture in maltose-containing medium.
