Abstract

Enzymatically hydrolysed cassava starch was used for C. utilis cultivation. Highly efficient starch hydrolysis was achieved with a 92% DE syrup obtained after 15-20h. Cyanide content fell during cassava processing to very low levels in the hydrolysate. Comparison of biomass yields and protein of C. utilis using molasses and cassava hydrolysate as substrates demonstrates the potential of the latter for yeast production.
