Fluidized bed drying is a cost-effective and versatile technique for the conservation of microorganisms guaranteeing them a long useful life in terms of culture stability (viability and activity). In this work, a method for dehydration of yeasts and lactic acid bacteria using fluidized bed technology and manioc starch as carrier is described. Under assay conditions, total drying of cultures (corresponding to a decrease in aw from approximately 0.99 to 0.17) occurred with high cell survival evidencing the method efficiency for preservation of microbial cultures.

摘要

Fluidized bed drying is a cost-effective and versatile technique for the conservation of microorganisms guaranteeing them a long useful life in terms of culture stability (viability and activity). In this work, a method for dehydration of yeasts and lactic acid bacteria using fluidized bed technology and manioc starch as carrier is described. Under assay conditions, total drying of cultures (corresponding to a decrease in aw from approximately 0.99 to 0.17) occurred with high cell survival evidencing the method efficiency for preservation of microbial cultures.
