At the end of the yeast fermentation, the yeast broth is washed repeatedly with cold water to remove any residual fermentation additives. The yeast cells are then concentrated to form a light tan, semi-viscous liquid called cream. Cream yeast contains approximately 18% yeast solids. The cream is further dewatered by pressing to form a semi solid cake that contains approximately 30% yeast solids. This cake is typically crumbled directly into 50-pound multiwall poly-lined bags and sold as crumbled compressed yeast. Crumbled yeast may be added directly to the mixer on top of dry ingredients or slurried in water with other ingredients to form a preferment. Compressed yeast has excellent leavening properties in all types of dough systems and, since it is perishable, should be stored under refrigeration at all times prior to use. view less
