Abstract
This paper describes the use of dry grape residue as a fermentation substrate for obtaining yeast biomass enriched in proteins and polyphenols. Yeast isolates from the wine region Oprișor (Mehedinți county) have been used as solid and liquid pure culture in order to obtain dried lyophilized yeast biomass enriched in polyphenols with high content in protein and with high antioxidant activity. The experiments were conducted both in light and dark to verify the influence of light on the total polyphenols content. It is noted that in the case of the fermentation of a culture medium containing dry grape residue, the polyphenol’s content was higher in the dark than in the light. By the fermentation of the culture medium based on dry waste, it is observed that the protein content increases in the dry yeast biomass.
