Abstract

Furfural, maltol and 5-hydroxymethyl furfural, the three Browning reaction products, inhibit CO2 production by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The inhibition can be partially overcome by some crude extracts, such as tryptone, yeast extract and casein hydrolysate. Yeast cells show a tendency to adapt to these compounds even when exposed to them for a very short time. Sugar cane molasses can perform both the above functions simultaneously. First, it can overcome the inhibitory effect of these compounds much more effectively than the crude extracts and secondly, training of cells in molasses makes them resistant enough to withstand the lethal levels of the test compounds.
