abstract: The influence of lactose addition on viability of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae dried using freeze-drying and microwave-vacuum drying methods was investigated. Lactose was co-immobilized with yeast suspension in Ca-alginate matrix in the form of beads and than dried. It was found that addition of sugar can improve viability of cells during freeze-drying but not during microwave-vacuum drying.
