Abstract

The study was performed to determine the content of fatty acids (FA) from torula yeast, grown on distiller?s vinasse. The total content ofc fatty acids was 23.66 g/kg. Linoleic acid was that of highest concentration (729 mg/100 g). In respect to the FA total, in the saturated FA group, palmitic was the most representative (21 %), and in that of monounsaturated FA (22 %), it was oleic. It was concluded that the fatty acids from torula yeast, grown on vinasse, being predominant in the ether extract (1.20 %) were linoleic, oleic, and palmitic.
Key words: yeasts, fatty acids, vinasse.
