Spanish term

cepa de fermento

Spanish to English Science Nutrition probiotics, yoghurts
Hi,

My translation is about probiotic and dairy product nutrients. The sentence is:

Participan en I+D para estudiar nuevas cepas de fermentos o "probióticos" que aportan beneficios de salud y para mejorar la calidad nutricional de los productos.

I know that cepa can mean "vine" but ferment vines does not really get any Google hits and sounds a bit odd when related to probiotics. The translation is about the Diet.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
Proposed translations (English)
5 +1 culture strain
3 +4 fermenting strain or fermentation strain
5 +1 yeast strains / strains of yeast

this article about yogurt talks about "probiotic cultures" and also mentions "culture strains" - maybe it makes things clearer: http://www.bluebunny.com/YogurtProbiotics.aspx
Muriel Vasconcellos Apr 8, 2008:
But in that case, "culture strain" is still too broad. It's about fermentation; culture are grown for all kinds of purposes other than fermentation as well.
Muriel Vasconcellos Apr 8, 2008:
My apologies. I thought it was for yeasts only, and I've now found out that it's also for bacteria.
Muriel Vasconcellos Apr 8, 2008:
Sorry, but you accepted an answer that is seriously wrong.

RAE: cepa: . f. Biol. Grupo de organismos emparentados, como las bacterias, los hongos o los virus, cuya ascendencia común es conocida.

Creo que refiere a cuál tipo de levadura, o el fermento que sea, se utiliza.

Example:

All told, with the recent introduction of several new products declaring their probiotic content, and the latest scientific research that ***probiotic culture strains*** can be helpful for consumers' overall health, probiotics are on their way to becoming a better understood and better utilized component in dairy products.

neutral Muriel Vasconcellos : Cultures are grown for numerous purposes besides fermentation.

Bifidobacterium bifidum etc. used in yoghourt, as the name shows, are bacteria, not yeasts. Please see http://www.ext.colostate.edu/pubs/columnnn/nn990630.html
