Yeast Extract Enhancing Probiotic Biomass

Leiber's yeast extract is excellent for the biomass growth of beneficial microorganisms (probiotics). Firstly, it improves the viability, vitality, and productivity of many microorganisms and serves as an excellent biological nitrogen source, along with various vitamins and minerals. Secondly, yeast extract can capitalize on the growing demand for starter cultures and probiotics over the long term.

The rapidly growing market for starter cultures and probiotics—mainly bacterial and yeast strains—requires increasing fermentation capacities. For economically efficient and sustainable production, two essential requirements must be met:

1. Rapid, high-quality, and reproducible biomass production.

2. Maintaining high biomass levels during subsequent process stages, such as freeze-drying and storage, ensures the cells remain active and viable.

Leiber's yeast extract meets both of these requirements.
