Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004072271A1] The present invention aims at solving the problem of how to provide a starter culture, including a mixed starter culture, capable of fermenting e.g. grape juice without losing the desirable characteristics of less competitive non-Saccharomyces yeast species early on in the fermentation process. In order to solve this problem there is provided in one aspect of the invention a composition comprising at least one first yeast organism selected from the family of Saccharomycetaceae excluding the genus of Saccharomyces. In another aspect of the invention there is provided a composition comprising at least one first yeast organism selected from the family of Saccharomycetaceae excluding the genus of Saccharomyces and at least one second yeast organism selected from the family of Saccharomycetaceae excluding the genus of Saccharomyces. In a further aspect of the invention there is provided a composition comprising at least one first yeast organism selected from the family of Saccharomycetaceae excluding the genus of Saccharomyces and at least one further yeast organism selected from the genus of Saccharomyces. In yet another aspect of the invention there is provided a composition comprising at least one first yeast organism selected from the family of Saccaromycetaceae excluding the genus of Saccharomyces and at least one second yeast organism selected from the family of Saccharomycetaceae excluding the genus of Saccharomyces and at least one further yeast organism selected from the genus of Saccharomyces.
