Abstract

The aim of this work was to isolate and screen for non-conventional yeast with bakery potentials. Thirty five isolates obtained from palm wine were screened. They were tested for sugar utilization, hydrogen sulphide production, urea hydrolysis and flocculation ability. Selected isolates were characterized using molecular methods. The isolate was subjected further to study its optimum growth conditions as well as for stress tolerance; Sodium chloride, ethanol and hyperosmotic tolerance. Result shows that the best among the selected isolates which was Yarrowia phangngensis (YP) utililized all the sugars, produced no hydrogen sulphide and exhibited high flocculation. Optimum growth temperature, pH and time were 300C, pH 5 and 72h respectively. YP adapted to the various stress conditions. This study shows that Yarrowia phangngensis which was isolated from palm wine could be considered for use in the bakeries because it exhibited good bakery characteristics.
