Abstract
Effect of different concentrations of heavy metals (Cu, Mn, Pb and Cd) on four parameters of baker's yeast (yield, total viable cells, protein content and fermentation power) representing their technological properties were tested. Increasing the concentrations of Cu up to 2 ppm and Mn up to 20-25 ppm, increased the studied parameters, while higher concentrations of both elements resulted in a negative effect of these parameters. On the other hand, the presence of Pb or Cd in growth medium decreased baker's yeast properties, this effect was increased as the Pb or Cd increased. Above all, as a conclusion Pb and Cd were classified as toxic metals for yeast growth at any concentration, meanwhile the optimum concentrations of Cu and Mn in growth medium of baker's yeast which gave the highest level of all parameters were 2 and 20-25 ppm, respectively.
