Applied research on yeast technology and quality analysis Applied, industry oriented research and development are key activities of the Research Institute for Baker’s yeast of VH Berlin. Our joint applied research projects enable SME to find partners and locate subsidies. Other sectors of applied research are joint projects with universities and bilateral contract research. Applied, industry oriented research and development work on yeast fermentation and downstream technology are always focused to sustain baker’s yeast quality. Specified yeast product features and the choice of fermentation substrates need to match. Research efforts will have to determine the physico-chemical influences on yeast growth, storability and stability of conditioned yeast products. Yeast strain selection (genotype) and fermentation conditions determine phenotypic performance and biomass production of the production strains. Fermentation recipes are the key to product quality, as regards physico-chemical and microbiological hygiene parameters. The US pharmaceutical production FDA-PAT (Process Analytic Technology) initiative for the is going to be adopted in the food processing industry. Concepts are needed for the measuring and controlling process parameters, determining product quality. The yeast industry, …

Modern yeast production is increasingly influenced by the results of biotechnological research and developments. To update your state of knowledge and skills, continuous education is a must. An excellent way of doing so is your participation at the annual VH Yeast Conference as well as at post-gradual training programmes offered by VH. Such events cover all areas of yeast production: strain selection, raw material, yeast fermentation, down-stream processing, yeast drying, waste water and exhaust air treatment, production and quality control as well as analytics. The skills of your staff to a large extent determine the quality of yeast. We offer the following skills and knowledge upgrades to your personnel to raise their qualification levels:
