This invention discloses a powdered *Miller's
yeast* strain and its application in food
fermentation, belonging to the field of
food biotechnology. The invention provides a powdered *Miller's
yeast* strain GZR-YJ-40, preservation number: GDMCC No: 64935. The powdered *Miller's
yeast* GZR-YJ-40 has the following characteristics: rapid growth rate; tolerance to the gastrointestinal environment and excellent
probiotic properties; sensitivity to common fungal
antibiotics, non-hemolytic, and good safety; effective tolerance to high salt, acid, and
ethanol;
antioxidant properties; and the ability to produce high levels of
flavor compounds during
fermentation. Furthermore, the powdered *Miller's yeast* GZR-YJ-40 has
biogenic amine degradation capabilities; therefore, as a
starter culture, this strain can ensure the safety and
flavor quality of fermented foods, shorten the
fermentation cycle, and significantly improve the nutritional value of fermented foods.
