Abstract: 27,845. Kruis, K. Nov. 30. Yeast is prepared from the juices obtained from beetroots, green peas, green maize, millet, opuntia, &c. The juice is obtained by pressure, diffusion, or maceration, at a low temperature, so that it contains coagulable substances. and is boiled to obtain a flocculent precipitate, and, after filtration, a clear lightcoloured wort. The wort, after acidification with mineral acid or by lactic fermentation, is sown with yeast. Other substances containing coagulable materials, and food materials for the yeast, such as juice of potatoes free from starch, extract of malt culms, proteolized yeast, &c. may be added to the juice before boiling. Molasses, solutions of phosphates, or other yeast foods may be added. The clarification during boiling is assisted by the addition of mineral acid or of superphosphates. The clear wort may be evaporated to form a syrup which is diluted with water when required. Cut beets may be preserved by drying at a low temperature and utilized when required.
