Japanese researchers find persimmon tannin helps certain yeast grow 8.9X better in ethanol
In Japan, a study by Osaka Metropolitan University found that persimmon tannin helps the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae grow 8.9 times better in ethanol, attributing this to the antioxidative properties of the tannin which reduce stress but do not protect cell membranes. The researchers explored persimmon tannin because it is known for its antioxidative properties. “In […]
