Production of stilbenoids
A method for the production of a stilbenoid, such as resveratrol or pinosylvin, by fermenting plant material such a grape must using a yeast having a metabolic pathway producing said stilbenoid, separating a solids waste material from said fermentation and extracting said stilbenoid.
1. A method for the production of a mixture comprising stilbenoids, comprising extracting resveratrol or pinosylvin from a solids waste material separated from a fermentation of plant material conducted using a genetically modified yeast strain having a metabolic pathway producing the mixture comprising stilbenoids, wherein the genetically modified yeast is a yeast strain comprising a vector comprising SEQ ID NO:56.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the preliminary steps of conducting said fermentation of plant material using the genetically modified yeast having a metabolic pathway producing the mixture comprising stilbenoids and separating a solids waste material from said fermentation.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fermentation is a fermentation of fruit must together with or separated from pommace.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fermentation is a fermentation of pommace separated from fruit must.
5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the fruit is grape, apple or pear.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fermentation is a beer making fermentation.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the genetically modified yeast is from the Saccharomyces genus.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of recovering resveratrol or pinosylvin.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the genetically modified yeast strain further comprises a vector comprising SEQ ID NO: 57.
