  • Process for preparing nutritional, therapeutic or organoleptic products from crude glycerol
    Patent number: 8802408
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing a nutritional, therapeutic or organoleptic product by growing non-recombinant yeast under aerobic conditions, in a medium that includes crude glycerol, as one possible carbon source to produce a yeast product. The yeast product can be processed to obtain such nutritional, therapeutic or organoleptic products as yeast paste, yeast metabolites, carbohydrates, proteins, functional proteins, nucleotides, yeast autolysates, yeast extract, yeast cell walls, beta-glucans, mannans or a product derived from a mineralized yeast product.
    Type: Grant
