2. Saccharomyces cerevisiae - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccharomyces_cerevisiae

   Saccharomyces cerevisiae (/ ˌ s ɛr ə ˈ v ɪ s i. iː /) (brewer's yeast or baker's yeast) is a species of yeast (single-celled fungal microorganisms). The species has been instrumental in winemaking, baking, and brewing since ancient times. It is believed to have been originally isolated from the skin of grapes.

3. Baker's yeast - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker's_yeast

   Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the yeast commonly used as baker's yeast. Gradation marks are 1 μm apart.. Baker yeast is the common name for the strains of yeast commonly used in baking bread and other bakery products, serving as a leavening agent which causes the bread to rise (expand and become lighter and softer) by converting the fermentable sugars present in the dough into carbon dioxide and ...

4. Yeast - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeast

   The most common top-cropping brewer's yeast, S. cerevisiae, is the same species as the common baking yeast. [62] Brewer's yeast is also very rich in essential minerals and the B vitamins (except B 12 ), a feature exploited in food products made from leftover ( by-product ) yeast from brewing. [ 63 ]

5. Saccharomyces - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccharomyces

   Saccharomyces is a genus of fungi that includes many species of yeasts. Saccharomyces is from Greek σάκχαρον (sugar) and μύκης (fungus) and means sugar fungus.Many members of this genus are considered very important in food production where they are known as brewer's yeast, baker's yeast and sourdough starter among others.

6. Brewing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewing

   A 16th-century brewery Brewing is the production of beer by steeping a starch source (commonly cereal grains, the most popular of which is barley) in water and fermenting the resulting sweet liquid with yeast. It may be done in a brewery by a commercial brewer, at home by a homebrewer, or communally. Brewing has taken place since around the 6th millennium BC, and archaeological evidence ...

7. Beer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer

   The basic ingredients of beer are water; a starch source, usually malted barley; a brewer's yeast to produce the fermentation; and a flavouring such as hops. [38] A mixture of starch sources may be used, with a secondary carbohydrate source, such as maize (corn), rice, wheat, or sugar, often termed an adjunct , especially when used alongside ...

8. Yeast extract - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeast_extract

   Yeast extract is a common ingredient in commercially prepared soups (canned, frozen, or deli). [1] [2] It is a flavor enhancer like monosodium glutamate (MSG).Yeast extracts consist of the cell contents of yeast without the cell walls; [3] they are used as food additives or flavorings, or as nutrients for bacterial culture media.

9. Beer chemistry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_chemistry

   In aerobic conditions, yeast turns sugars into pyruvate then converts pyruvate into water and carbon dioxide. This process can carbonate beers. In commercial production, the yeast works in anaerobic conditions to convert pyruvate into ethanol, and does not carbonate beer. Beer is carbonated with pressurized CO 2. When beer is poured, carbon ...
