Abstract

The research applied to alcoholic fermentation has been concentrated preferably in problems caused by bacteria, but the contamination by wild yeasts are badly studied and known. More recently, the presence of the yeasts Dekkera e Brettanomyces has caused problems in ethanolic fermentation. This work aims to study the tolerance to stress by strains of Dekkera regarding ethanol concentration, sugar concentration, pH and temperature, looking for conditions which minimize this yeast growth, trying to manage these contaminants during the ethanolic fermentation.
