The Table shows mean values derived from duplicate fermentations ± standard deviation. Prior to the analysis, yeast cells were washed and freeze–dried. Values are mean ± SD (n = 2)

aThe protein content equals N x 6.25, which means that non-protein nitrogen is included

bThe total carbohydrate fraction was estimated as follows: Est Total Carbohydrates = 100 − Crude Protein − Crude lipid − Ash. Nucleic acids are not included here since these are also covered by Kjeldahl nitrogen
