| 1- So far three beverages have been produced in Biotechnology Center of IROST i.e. |
kefir with Iranian kefir grain strain (Lactobacillus spp.) using whey for the
fermentation process. In addition, Renin has been produced in pilot plant scale. Soya
sauce pilot scale production is being carried out.
