Utilization in food industry of yeast cultivated in synthetic ethanol medium.Peer-reviewed article

F. ŠTROS, M. RUT

Industrial production of microbial proteins and their utilization in food products is now making rapid progress and development in these spheres is faster than the elaboration of regulations and standards specifying the requirements put to the quality and properties of new source of proteins. InCzechoslovakiano systematic attention has been so far paid to the problem and to standards are being prepared. Apparently it would be expedient to accept recommendations prepared by the Protein Advisory Group (PAG) of United Nations Organization. The composition of ethanol feed yeast produced in Czechoslovakiais similar to that of TORUTEIN - a product manufactured inUSAby AMOCO Corporation. This products has been officially approved for usage in food industry. It can be reasonably expected, that by changing slightly the composition of feed yeast (e. g. by reducing the percentage of nucleic acids) and by adjusting the processing technology it will be possible to produce simultaneously with feed yeast also protein suitable for food products.
