Abstract: | Chemical analysis of wheat steeping liquor, produced from soaking of wheat grains revealed the presence of 1% total soluble solids with 7,15% proteins. A method was devised to obtain large amounts of precipitates with protein content up to 9,84%. Glutamic acid and lysine constitute the largest proportions of the amino acids. Nine essential amino acids were found. The raw wheat steeping liquor and the supernatant resulting after separation of the protein were used as a growth medium for the production of fodder yeast Candida tropicalis. |
