Abstract

Six different wine yeast strains (G1, X4, X5, P29, QA23, Uvaferm BC) were co-immobilized in a natural, spontaneous way with Penicillium chrysogenum under special conditions without the need for an external support or chemical binder and provided six different ‘yeast biocapsules’. The purpose was to characterize and evaluate the biocapsules obtained in terms of yeast cell viability, ethanol production and reusability to assess their suitability for ethanol production and the development of industrially competitive alternative wine and beer production methods.
