Experiments with dry active yeast packed in czechoslovak packing materials.Peer-reviewed article

A. GINTEROVÁ, S. HUNČÍKOVÁ, A. FRIEDLOVÁ, O. JANOTKOVÁ

The authors present the results of their experimental research works into the relation between the activity of dry yeast, type of package and storage conditions. The most important and practically deciding factor is the storing temperature, whereas the package has far less pronounced influence. Light is harmful, since it deteriorates the activity, humidity belongs to factors of secondary importance. Surprisingly at temperatures typical for refrigerators there was no difference between the yeast in hermetical sealed tins and yeast wrapped in paper+polyethylene foil.
