There is a large amount of research emerging highlighting the lifestyle factors that contribute to a healthy immune system, and what can cause immune health to fail. It is understood that high levels of stress, poor sleep, and an unbalanced diet are all often an accepted part of modern life, […]
Le microbiote, notamment intestinal, est composé de toutes les bactéries présentes dans notre tube digestif, en particulier le côlon. Elles ont, entre autres rôles, une action protectrice contre les infections. Voici comment renforcer et stimuler notre flore intestinale, grâce aux probiotiques et aux prébiotiques. Un microbiote déséquilibré ou fragilisé par […]
Selon des chercheurs japonais, la supplémentation alimentaire en mannane de levure (parois cellulaires de levures) en tant que prébiotique pourrait stimuler la motilité (motricité) intestinale, améliorer les symptômes de la constipation et contribuer à une meilleure qualité du sommeil. Ces dernières années, les preuves de la relation entre l’intestin et […]
COFALEC is happy to inform about the next 35th VHYC yeast conference that will take place on 06th May and 07th May 2024, in Berlin (Germany): “Yeast, sour dough, enzymes: baking with?” Find out more here! […]
Greener Ideal vous livre 9 faits intéressants sur le monde de la levure et ses applications ! La levure est utilisée dans la boulangerie et la brasserie depuis l’Antiquité : La levure est sans aucun doute utilisée dans la fabrication du pain depuis des siècles. En fait, des preuves suggèrent […]
Selon un récent article de InceptiveMind, des chercheurs de l’école des sciences biologiques de Georgia Tech ont créé l’une des premières cellules de levure au monde capable d’exploiter l’énergie de la lumière, ce qui nous permet de mieux comprendre l’évolution de cette caractéristique et ouvre la voie à des avancées […]
Selon Enerzine, la levure, un organisme que nous connaissons bien pour sa capacité à transformer les glucides en produits comme le pain et la bière, pourrait bien nous surprendre. Une nouvelle étude révèle que certaines souches de levure préféreraient la lumière à l’obscurité. Publiée dans la revue Current Biology, l’étude […]
Selon Slate, le croisement d’anciens types de levure en laboratoire ouvre désormais la porte à de nouvelles saveurs de bière. La bière blonde, dont le goût unique est si prisé, pourrait bientôt s’ouvrir à de nouveaux horizons. New Scientist rappelle que la plupart des autres types de bière sont fabriqués […]
According to Greener Ideal, yeast Has Been Used in Baking and Brewing Since Ancient Times: Yeast has undoubtedly been used in baking bread for centuries. In fact, evidence suggests that yeast was used for bread making in Ancient Egypt, around 2,500 BC. And we know that yeast has been used […]
According to InceptiveMind, yeast is an organism that can convert carbohydrates into products such as bread and beer through fermentation in the absence of light. Light exposure can interfere with or ruin this process in some cases. This is why yeast is often kept in dark places when used for […]
A recent Enerzine article finds that certain strains of yeast, an organism well known for its ability to transform carbohydrates into products such as bread and beer, may prefer light to darkness. This discovery could therefore have major implications for our understanding of evolution and biofuel production. Published in the […]
In this article, Slate finds that cross-breeding old types of yeast in the laboratory now opens the door to new beer flavours. New Scientist points out that most other types of beer are made using ordinary brewer’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Lager, on the other hand, is made by crossing this […]
According to this recent article by NewScientist, researchers have recreated the hybridisation of two wild yeast species that led to the first lager yeasts, generating new varieties that could make beer with a range of new flavours. It’s lager, but not as we know it. One of the world’s most […]
A recent study by Gerbeaud shows how the microbiota, particularly the intestinal microbiota, is made up of all the bacteria present in our digestive tract, particularly the colon. One of their roles is to protect against infection. Here’s how to strengthen and stimulate our intestinal flora, using probiotics and prebiotics. […]
A recent Asahi-funded study shows that the dietary supplementation of yeast mannan (YM) as a prebiotic could boost gut motility, improve constipation symptoms, and contribute to better sleep quality. In recent years, there has been growing evidence regarding the relationship between the gut and sleep. Previous studies by a group […]
