Abstract: A method for qualifying molasses based on an optical measurement, the method may include: based on reference optical spectra of samples of distinct molasses, associated with respective known molasses qualities, building by machine learning a statistical model of molasses qualities as a function of at least one spectral characteristic of the reference spectra; and for a current optical spectrum of a sample of a current molasses, based on the statistical model, identifying the at least one spectral characteristic of the current optical spectrum and determining a quality of the current molasses, the current molasses quality relating to at least one yeast performance obtained when the yeast is fed with the current molasses.

Abstract: Disclosed is a pouring device suitable for piercing and emptying a granular material contained in a vacuum-sealed package, including: a tubular body, having a duct for the flow of the material, extending from an inlet opening positioned at a first end of the tubular body to an outlet opening for the granular material, positioned at a second end of the tubular body; and a hollow piercing tool having a distal end ending in a pointed tip, and a widened base at the proximal end thereof, rigidly connected to the body. The device further includes a shoulder serving as a stop coming into contact with the wall of the package to stop the pouring device when the wall is pierced by the piercing tool, and possibly a bowl bringing the granular material having escaped the hollow portion of the piercing tool into the inside of the hollow portion by gravity.

Abstract: A composition of yeast polysaccharides including β(1,6)-glucans, preferably also mannans and α-glucans. The yeast polysaccharides are extracted from yeast cell wall fragments. Typically, the β-glucans are β(1,6)-glucans. Also, a method for obtaining such a composition, including at least one step of fractionating a composition of yeast cell walls and extracting an insoluble fraction, and at least one step of extracting a soluble fraction from the insoluble fraction obtained in step a). Further, a composition with a human or veterinary therapeutic objective, for the treatment of gastrointestinal pathologies associated with pathogenic microorganisms, as well as to its non-therapeutic use for improving intestinal comfort.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a breadmaking improver useful in a method for producing a cooked loaf by the final cooking of a precooked loaf stored without freezing. It also relates to an improved breadmaking method that implements the use of this improver. The improver of the invention enables the precooked loaf to be stored at ambient temperature or at positive low temperature for a period ranging up to one month without the freshness and taste qualities thereof being impaired. The method of the invention is useful for all types of loaves, in particular large loaves, the weight of which may reach 2 kg.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for selecting a yeast strain having improved capability for fermenting a pentose, advantageously xylose, in the presence of organic acid, advantageously acetic acid, in non-dissociated form, in which at least one yeast strain that is capable of fermenting said pentose is consecutively cultured in the following two media: a first growth medium comprising said pentose as the only carbon source and said organic acid in non-dissociated form; a second growth medium comprising another carbon source as the only carbon source, advantageously glucose, free of said organic acid in non-dissociated form, the consecutive culture in at least said two growth media being repeated at least twice, in the presence of rising concentrations of organic acid in non-dissociated form.
