Zygosaccharomyces bailii--a profile of characteristics and spoilage activities

Zygosaccharomyces bailii is an effective spoiler of many foods and beverages, particularly those with low pH and high sugar content. The characteristics that contribute to this virulence are discussed in relation to product composition and process technology. Natural habitats and major sources of infection are identified and the need for suitable quality control methods emphasized. In addition, some desirable characteristics are discussed that may be exploited, in the future, by the food and other industries.
