Abstract

Active dry baker's yeast has been prepared by growing a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Hansen var. ellipsoideus in a culture medium of the following composition: molasses, 4; ammonium sulphate (or urea), 01; and potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 0.1 per cent. The crop of yeast obtained after 24 hr. of growth was centrifuged and then dried in a current of cool air to a moisture content of 8.0-10.5 per cent. In trehalose content (10-12 per cent) and viability (3.5-4 x 1010 cells/g.), the product compares favourably with imported material and has shelf-life of 6-7 months.
