The recovery of whole cells is best explained by the manufacturing procedure for baker s yeast. This process is almost identical to the early stage of protein recovery, except that the final product is the cell instead of the filtrate. After fermentation, the cells are spun out with a centrifuge, washed with water, and recentrifuged to yield a yeast cream with a solids concentration of approximately 18 percent. Cream yeast can be loaded directly into tanker trucks and delivered to customers equipped with an appropriate cream yeast handling system. Alternatively, the yeast cream can be pumped to a plate and frame filter press or an RDVF and dewatered to a cakelike consistency with 30-32 percent yeast solids content. The press cake yeast is crumbled into pieces and packed or spray-dried for dry products. After packaging, the yeast is ready for shipping to retail.
