Zusammenfassung:The invention provides a process for the preparation of stable yeast crystals for enhanced production of ethanol, said process comprising the steps of culturing yeast Sacchromyces spp. in a growth medium, obtaining immobilized yeast heads, separating and dehydrating the stable yeast crystals, adding the stable yeast crystals to a 5-8% molasses solution and incubating the said crystals for a period ranging between 6-48 hours at a temperature ranging between 24-32° C. to obtain activated stable yeast heads to obtain crystals which are separated in a fermentation broth containing molasses and having a total reducing sugar concentration in the range of 10-30% and recovering the ethanol from the fermentation broth by known methods.
