Abstract: By investigating the effects of those factors such as yeast growth process, initial yeast suspension concentration and dose, buffer pH, water quality, extraction method of PYF factors on assay results, the optimal parameters were established. The further results showed that malt PYF factors have a good additivity and promoted yeast flocculation.
