Resumen
- Fluidized bed drying is the most common drying operation for granulated materials on many industries.1 Probiotic yeast such as Meyerozyma guilliermondii in the diets of ruminants have positive effects on ruminal microenvironment, such as improving acetic:propionic ratio and enhance amino acid flow to duodenum. For the development of new bioproducts, it is important to determine the drying conditions2,3 that do not affect microorganism cell viability, and guarantees a lower moisture level and high yield operation.4 Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the influence of fluidized bed drying process parameters on two granular prototypes based on yeast M. guilliermondii and their storage stability.
