Research progress of anti-environmental factor stress mechanism and anti-stress tolerance way of <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> during the brewing process

Abstract

Saccharomyces cerevisiae plays a decisive role in the brewing of alcohol products, and the ideal growth and fermentation characteristics can give the pure flavor of alcohol products. However, S. cerevisiae can be affected profoundly by environmental factors during the brewing process, which have negative effects on the growth and fermentation characteristics of S. cerevisiae, and seriously hindered the development of brewing industry. Therefore, we summarized the environmental stress factors (ethanol, organic acids, temperature and osmotic pressure) that affect S. cerevisiae during the brewing process. Their impact mechanisms and the metabolic adaption of S. cerevisiae in response to these stress factors. Of note, S. cerevisiae can increase the ability to resist stress factors by changing
