La levadura de panificación es una especie de la familia Saccharomyces cerevisiae donde los científicos han aislado una cepa que es especialmente adecuada para el proceso de horneado. El nombre es una indicación de la forma en que funciona; sacchar significa que se alimenta de azúcar, myces quiere decir molde, y cerevisiae es una palabra que alguna vez fue usada para la cerveza. Cuando se administra la humedad, la alimentación y el buen ambiente, funcionará apropiadamente. Es de la misma especie utilizada para la producción de bebidas alcohólicas y extractos de sabor. 1, record 1, Spanish, - levadura%20de%20panificaci%C3%B3n
