Notes:
Thermotolerant yeast Candida rugosa isolated from East Africa was used for the continuous production of yeast protein from sugar beet stillages at 40°C. At a dilution rate of 0·15 h-1, biomass productivity was at a maximum (0·85 dm-3 h-1) and the Chemical Oxygen Demand reduction rate of the stillage was 30·4%. This yeast contained 45·1% crude protein, 36·5% actual protein and 5·6% RNA. The yeast protein had adequate essential amino acids, except for sulphur-containing types.
