Optimization of Medium Composition and Fluidized Bed Drying Conditions for Efficient Production of Dry Yeast.

ABSTRACT: Yeast formulations such as dry yeast are essential for supplying microbial starters to the alcoholic beverage industry. In Korea, the expensive freeze-drying method is used to manufacture brewer's dry yeast, and therefore an economical process such as fluidized bed drying is needed. In the dry yeast manufacturing process, the medium and drying conditions are key factors that determine its quality and manufacturing cost. In this study, we aimed to optimize the medium composition and fluidized bed drying conditions for the efficient production of dry yeast. Muscovado and corn steep liquor were used as the carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively, and their optimal concentrations were identified using response surface methodology for efficient cultivation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae R
