Abstract: The invention concerns a method for processing vegetable products comprising an aqueous fraction, for producing vegetable-based foods. The invention is characterized in that it consists in: arranging vegetable products and crystallized sugar in a chamber, the weight of sugar representing at least 20% of the vegetable product weight; allowing the sugar to flow by gravity inside the chamber around the vegetable products, while maintaining the chamber at a temperature not higher than room temperature; recirculating the sugar which has flowed to the base of the chamber, so as to ensure that it is constantly circulated around the vegetable products and that the sugar is absorbed by the vegetable products, and that part of the aqueous fraction of the vegetable products is eliminated.

Abstract: The detection and characterization of yeasts belonging to the species Candida krusei is disclosed. A specific probe, in particular a DNA probe for detecting and, in particular, identifying the species Candida krusei and typing (infraspecific characterization) Candida krusei strains, is particularly disclosed. The expected results are achieved by means of a probe selected from the following genetic (or related) tools:at least one portion of at least one DNA and/or RNA fragment (F) with a size of 7-4 kb, said fragment being specifically hybridizable with the DNA and/or RNA of Candida krusei while not coding for rRNA;at least one portion of the transcription and/or translation products of (F);and a combination of the abovementioned tools.The probe may be used in medical diagnostics and industrial therapeutical tests.
