WHAT IS DRIED BREWER’S YEAST?

Dried brewer’s yeast is a by product from the breweries, which use the micro-organism and fungal yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Dried brewer’s yeast is obtained by the removal of yeast after the brewing process and subsequent inactivation by means of organic acids . Dried brewer’s yeast is used as a flavouring ingredient in the food industry, and as feedstuff for pigs, ruminants, poultry and fish. Dried brewer’s yeast is mainly a source of protein, vitamins and minerals . Yeast inactivation is necessary to prevent further fermentation after consumption by animals, that may cause severe gastro-intestinal problems in pigs . Dried brewer’s yeast is a highly valuable source of protein, phosphorous and B vitamins. Dried brewer’s yeast may be fed fresh (liquid form) or dried (dried brewer’s yeast), which is costly and thus only used in specialty feeds .
