Yeasts Go Wild: Luke WildYeastLibrary initiative for commercial and research uses

-

New wild yeasts will be collected from tree species in Luke arboretums and forest trials. Isolated yeasts and strains will be identified. Luke Library of wild yeasts will be established and trademarked to exclusively identify the origin of the yeasts. The identified isolates will be incorporated into the library a

Suitability of isolated yeasts for food and drink production will be evaluated and screened by selected matrices. New business opportunities for Finnish food & beverage SME´s will arise due to possibilities to produce uniquely flavored food and drink products such as beer.
