Dough made with Acryleast, a proprietary yeast from Phyterra Yeast, a division of Functional Technologies Corp., was reported to show a 99% reduction in asparagine, the main precursor to acrylamide, after three hours, compared with an 18.5% reduction in control dough made with standard bakers yeast. The yeast is still undergoing testing, research and trial stages, but the company is discussing commercialization with interested parties.
