Yeast application for desalting fibersol-2

The following study made use of applying brewing yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae for removing free glucose liberated during enzymatic hydrolysis of the pretreated cornstarch in the preparation of fibersol‐2. The fermentation condition was optimally realized at 20 °C, with 0.5% of yeast for 24 h without total soluble sugars dilution. The glucose removal rate was 98.27%, which is considered acceptable and economical, compared with other removal rates. The recovery of fibersol‐2 was 67.18% and the total dietary fibre content was 94%.
