ABSTRACT:
The solids of whey permeate obtained by ultrafiltration are converted to a triglyceride oil-containing yeast cell mass by fermentation with fat-producing strains of Candida curvata. For maximum oil yield, the fermentation is continued until at least 90% of the lactose has been consumed, such as 98 to 99% of the lactose. The resulting oil-containing yeast cell mass can be further processed to prepare animal feed materials, and/or for recovery of the oil by extraction. The spent fermentation medium has relatively low COD indicating that the fermentation not only removes the lactose but also most of the other organic material.
