Abstract Although Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Debaryomyces hansenii are important for food fermentation, they are considered as spoilage yeasts in various processed foods. In this study, we investigated the quantity-dependent effects of milk, egg yolk, and orange juice on the survival rates of food-spoilage yeasts when desiccated on a stainless steel surface. The protective effects on yeast cells before and after drying against disinfectants and UV-C irradiation were also investigated. Microbial suspensions (0.1 mL) were placed on a stainless steel dish (50 mmφ). After drying for 2 h at room temperature in the absence of food residue, viable cell counts of S. cerevisiae and D. hansenii decreased from 6 to
