does sauerkraut contain yeast
In sauerkraut, the fermentation process has a very specific purpose: to quickly proliferate through the food by lactic acid-producing bacteria (LABs), primarily Lactobacilli. These Lactobacilli cause the pH to be reduced, making the environment acidic and unsuitable for the growth of unwanted bacteria.n the presence of oxygen yeasts can be oxidized to form vinegar-not something we want in our sauerkraut. Yeasts can also cause off-flavors and discoloration, visible signs you need a better seal on your sauerkraut. Pink sauerkraut (not from red cabbage) is a sign of yeast.
