Vitamin B in Yeast Varies by Species and Medium
A report to the American Chemical Society by Prof. C. A. Elvehjem shows vitamin B content in five yeast strains varies with species and medium. Grain wort yeast yields 10 IU per g dry yeast, molasses yeast 3–4 IU, and glucose salts yeast 2.5–3.3 IU, with endomyces vernalis showing less variation. Recovered vitamin ranges from 50 to 100 percent. wort contains about 70 percent of grain B content. sterilizing wort 45 minutes at 15 psi loses about 20 percent, though yeast can reconstitute from decomposition products.
