Abstract:
A method of producing an edible chromium yeast product comprising:a) admixing a live yeast culture with an organochromium solution comprising about 500 ppm to about 25,000 ppm chromium glycinate dinicotinate to form a yeast-organochromium mixture;b) incubating the yeast-organochromium mixture for about 5 to about 100 minutes;c) adding growth media to the yeast-organochromium mixture to form a yeast-growing mixture;d) grow the yeast in the yeast-growing mixture for at least 10 hours;e) isolating the yeast from the yeast-growing mixture;f) washing the yeast to remove extracellular chromium glycinate dinicotinate; ande) pasteurizing and drying the washed yeast cells to yield the chromium yeast product.
