Montreal, Oct. 16, 2007 - Green Yeast Corp. - Levure Verte inc. (ex Anticus International Corp hereafter Green Yeast) is a politic body legally incorporated under the laws of Nevada. As a public corporation, its over-the-counter shares are traded on the "pink sheet" (ATCI.PK) under its old name.
Green Yeast is pleased to inform you that the demonstration and operating unit of the Quebec science complex has started production of lactic yeast (Kluyveromyces marxianus) samples. Green Yeast has begun distributing these yeast samples to its potential customers and partners, so that they can analyze this yeast themselves, suggest adjustments specific to their needs (e.g., live or inactive yeast, dried or not, according to different drying methods (spray, drum, fluidized bed), suggest adjustments to the nutrient content, etc.), and recognize the product's quality. The objective of this sampling campaign is to show with certainty our ability to produce a quality yeast strain that meets the market's expectations. This phase also has the aim of refining the process to achieve maximum production efficiency.
The demonstration stage is indispensable to prepare for the industrial phase with construction of a first production unit. The sampling campaign should last about 2 months, during which a number of samples will be delivered to our various prospects. After this campaign, a full report will be produced, which will present the best industrial modus operandi clearly and precisely.
Simultaneously, Green Yeast is pursuing its discussions with cheese companies, which generate large quantities of whey in their activities. Whey and its derivatives are choice raw materials in the production of Kluyveromyces marxianus yeast. On this specific point of securing supplies of whey derivatives for our future yeast production, signing medium to long term contracts with suppliers is Green Yeast main objective.
Furthermore, contacts are now being made regarding the financing of our first lactic yeast production unit. The cost of the investment and its implementation are being reviewed in details.
