Ancient yeast in 5300-year-old bread
A team of Italian scientists at the Mummy Studies Institute successfully produced a loaf of bread using strains of live yeast extracted from a 5,300-year-old mummy known as "Ötzi." The yeast was isolated from his body, which was found frozen in the Alps in 1991, and it was discovered that the strains had adapted to cold environments. A natural bread that rose within 24 hours was tested, opening new horizons for understanding human life in prehistoric times.
