High-value animal feed with enriched essential amino acid profiles can be produced by yeasts grown on agricultural residues. Yeasts convert structural protein solubilized from cassava leaves to essential amino acid-enriched, digestible protein. The low carbohydrate content of the leaves (ca 200 g kg-1 d.b.), however, necessitated glucose supplementation for yeast growth. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.
