(57) Abstract :
The present invention provides a process for producing a chromium enriched yeast supplement with enhanced content of intracellular
edible chromium ions. The process is much simpler, faster, uses a novel source of chromium salt for the treatment of yeast biomass
which can be transported readily into the cell and hence there is a better uptake and more intracellular accumulation of chromium
salts. The yeast biomass is treated with a toxic chromium salt solution, wherein byconversion of toxic chromium to non-toxic, edible
form of chromium takes place in the yeast cells intracellular during the process. The chromium enriched yeast supplement prepared as
per the process of the present invention is suitable for use in nutritional supplements.
