Ozone in Brewing.
the Scientific American.

FROM The Scienf1hc American.
A curious commercial application OF
ozone has just been developed in the
brewing industry. Samples of brew
ers' yeast, treated with ozone for Eve
minutes. show greater fermenting
power than untreated yeast. During
the first day or two there is no gain.
but after that ozonized yeast exhibits
Preventative power markedly in ex-
cess of untreated yeast. The benefit
comes from the inhibitive action of
ozone on objectionable organisms. and
also because the weaker yeast cells
are eliminated and the stronger ones
stimulated in Preventative power. In
the brewing industry the overproduc-
ton of yeast cells is q great source Of
loss.
