Abstract
A free-flowing particulate yeast is provided comprising baker's yeast and a minor amount of a solid, substantially non-deliquescent drying agent having a particle size of less than about 100 milli-microns. Preferred drying agents are hydrophilic silicon dioxide, micronized wood pulp and micronized cellulose. The drying agent is dispersed throughout the yeast and the amount thereof utilized is sufficient to bind or absorb a portion of the extracellular water without substantially deleteriously affecting the leavening activity of the yeast. The drying agent maintains the flowability of the particulate yeast over extended periods.
