  • COMPRESSED YEAST FOR DIRECT INOCULATION OF A FRUIT OR VEGETABLE SUBSTRATE
    Publication number: 20180179479
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel form of compressed yeast for direct inoculation in the fermentation of a fruit or vegetable substrate, e.g. for the fermentation of beverages, such as wine or beer. Especially, the present invention relates to compressed yeast with a dry matter content of between 35% and 90% (w/w), preferably in a frozen form, a method for producing a fermented beverage by direct inoculation of a fruit or vegetable substrate with the compressed yeast and a container comprising the compressed yeast.
