Yeast flocculation is distinct from agglomeration (‘grit’ formation), which is irreversible and occurs most commonly in baker's yeast when strains fail to separate when resuspended.
Yeast flocculation contrasts with agglomeration (‘grit’ formation), both of which involve the clustering or clumping together of yeast cells, but agglomeration tends to be irreversible and often occurs in baker's yeast when strains do not separate upon resuspension.
