Summary

New freeze-tolerant yeasts for frozen dough preparations were isolated from banana peel and identified. The authors attempted to breed a new freeze-tolerant strain. The hybrid between S.cerevisiae, which is an isolated freeze-tolerant strain, and a strain isolated from bakers' yeast with sexual conjugation gave a good quality bread made from frozen dough methods. The complicated metabolic pathway and the regulation system of trehalose in yeast cells are discussed. The trehalose synthesis may act as a metabolic buffer system which helps maintain the intracellular inorganic phosphates and serves as a feedback regulation system in the glycolysis. However, not enough is known on how the trehalose protects yeast cells from stress.
