Provesteen
Provesteen :
A microbiological process for making single-cell protein from methanol, ethanol, or whey, developed in the 1980s by Provesta Corporation, a subsidiary of Phillips Petroleum Company. The basis of the process is a special "high cell-density fermenter," which simplifies the isolation of the product from the water. The organism is the torula yeast; the intended products are: speciality flavor enhancers, a high fiber food bar, a food supplement for horses, and various aquaculture products for shrimp and fish. A plant with an annual capacity of 1,500 tonnes began operation in Bartlesville, OK, in 1989
