About this document
Bacterial Contaminants in Alcohol Production by Jesus Luces is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses bacterial contaminants that can affect alcohol production. It outlines sources of contamination like raw materials, inefficient cleaning procedures, and yeast propagation systems. The most common contaminants are lactic acid bacteria like Lactobacillus and Pediococcus, which are Gram-positive. These bacteria can reduce ethanol yields, produce off-flavors, and divert carbohydrates from yeast. The document describes metabolic pathways in lactic acid bacteria and how contaminants can in
