title: Experimental studies on the fermentation in asavas and aristas part ii - drakshasava.
abstract: A saccharomyces sp. causing fermentation in Meduca asava was isolated from Maduca flowers (Maduca longifolia Macbride). The capability of the organism to cause fermentation in Drakshasava was carried out. The Saccharomyces sp. caused alcoholic fermentation and the alcoholic fermentation and the alcohol produced was almost equal in quantity to that prepared according to textual method. The change in the pH of fermenting medium did not help in increased production of alcohol.
