Abstract

The production of volatile flavour compounds was studied during liquid culture cultivation of two Ambrosiozyma monospora v. d. Walt strains in defined medium containing glucose as carbon source. Linalool, α-terpineol, citronellol, and geraniol are the main constituents of the aroma concentrate, which have been identified by GC and GC/MS.

Maximum yield of monoterpenes amounted in strain CBS 5514 to 55 mg/L.
