Abstract
A process for improving the value of cakes of vegetable origin is described. The crude cakes are macerated in an aqueous medium with strains of microorganisms, notably the yeast Geotrichum candidum. The cakes are thus freed from the sulphur-containing impurities and aflatoxins which contaminate them and limit their use at present. The cakes obtained have an improved nutritive value. New, pure proteins can be isolated from the maceration liquids by precipitation to the isoelectric pH or in the presence of saline solutions.
