OSTI ID:5083866
Cultivation of the yeast Candida utilis on waste brown juice obtained from a pilot-scale process for mechanical extraction of alfalfa protein gave high biomass conversion yields with significant reductions in total dissolved solids and organic carbon levels. Protein content of the yeast product was improved considerably by supplementing the brown juice with nitrogen and phosphorus. (Refs. 27).
