Non-conventional yeasts
The research group of non-conventional yeasts started in 2010 with the participation of Dr. Paloma Manzanares and Dr. Carmela Belloch.
Currently, the IP is Dr. Carmela Belloch.
Our research focuses on biotechnological and genetic characterization of food-relevant non-Saccharomyces yeasts. Yeast ecology and evolution along food production processes is a strong theme or research in our group as well as the study of genes and enzymes involved in aroma production for selection of yeasts as starter cultures.
