The formation of 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone (HDMF) by Zygosaccharomyces rouxii was studied in yeast-peptone-dextrose medium containing d-fructose 1,6-diphosphate under various culture conditions. Cell growth and HDMF production was heavily dependent on medium pH and sodium chloride concentration. Higher pH values of the
