Summary

FROZEN SUSPENSIONS OF STREPTOCOCCUS THERMOPHILUS WERE FREEZE-DRIED IN A VACUUM OR A FLUIDIZED ADSORBENT BED AT ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE. OPTIMUM OPERATING CONDITIONS FOR EACH PROCESS WERE DEFINED. FOR THE DURATION OF PROCESSING AND SURVIVAL RATE OF BACTERIAL, IN EACH CASE VACUUM FREEZE-DRYING SEEMED MORE SATISFACTORY THAN ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE FREEZE-DRYING. THE USE OF RECONSTITUTED SKIMMED MILK AS A SUSPENSION MEDIUM PROVIDES GOOD PROTECTION FOR S. THERMOPHILUS.
