Abstract:
Frozen dough is a kind of semi-finished product using freezing process, which has great development potential, but dough quality is usually affected by the frostbite of yeast. Taking the frozen sourdough as an example, the composition of the yeast, and the research status of the frozen resistant yeast were introduced. In addition, the antifreeze mechanism of yeast including accumulation of trehalose and proline, synthesis and transport of glycerol and glutathione, changes of cell membrane fluidity and gene expression of water channel protein was summarized. This review will provide a reference for the improvement of frost resistance of yeast and frozen dough quality.
