Starmerella bacillaris Yeast Derivatives for Improving Wine Stability: Effect of Cell Wall Composition and Extraction Techniques

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
Yeast derivatives from S. bacillaris showed superior protein haze reduction in wine compared to those from S. cerevisiae, with the most effective results from alkaline extraction. The consistently higher glucose content in S. bacillaris derivatives suggests the presence of (gluco)mannoproteins of high molecular weight, a feature not previously reported
