They did ‘liven up’ in the right conditions, a few days in the polythene freezer bag, and go sticky or tacky

Maybe part of it was:
Single cell proteins + loads of sugars + no preservatives = bacteria party

I would also add that richworth tutti were once effective in winter due to the fact that bright orange baits hadn’t been done and that carp were under less pressure. Nowadays bright things are often the kiss of death (think bright hookbaits at this stage in the year). I never use sweet corn (I know I’m mental right) because every other angler piles it in. But I do find I’m getting more bites and faster bites by avoiding colour! By the spring it may well have all changed Again

With the richworths, the clever use of sweetners took away any bitterness from either the high flavour levels used, and the Pruteen.
So was it just a taste thing with the sweeteners, or a nutritious thing for either protein, or carbs, or a clever combo of all three ?

A lot of people seem to miss the fact that the early very successful richworth baits were based on putreen and were freezer baits. Originally 50/50 meant 50% protein 50% none protein and not 50% semolina and 50% soya that people understand today.
Since the production of putreen ceased have there baits ever been as successful and have there shelf life baits ever been as effective as the frozen... No they haven't even though later frozen tutti baits were still reasonably effective... And that comment comes from a confirmed flavour user.

the pigs didn’t like the taste.  
They´d happily munch on cadavers

This is great advice 👍🏻 Although I like to use WPC80 and Calcium in winter / all year around and had great results in doing so.

ICI’s Pruteen pig feed. Which was discontinued as the pigs didn’t like the taste.

''bits of crap''
yeah including ingredients that actually give a rounded diet for mr carp never sounded like a good idea to me either.

I did better on other baits at the time 
Was the original really that good or rose tinted spectacles 
If it was so good how come its not so good now? Maybe because the carp have got used to a better diet

" bits of crap being included"
You can actually make a good bait better 
Was Richworths original TF basemix a 50/50 or 3-way split ?

One wonders how the original frozen Richworth Tutti Frutti outfished all other winter baits by a long shot without all these bits of crap being included.

Celmanax is bioactive and it looks like it helps break down the carbs in the bait. I am not sure it is attractive to carp in itself (which some yeasts are). My use is limited at the moment but plan to use more going forward and once my bait works with it try it without and see if it makes a difference

" Finally add 10ml/kg of Celmanax "
Interesting! What would Cellmanax add to the bait that the yeast will not?

thanks for this input, my fishmeal has 50ml or krill hydro and salmon oil so this backs up my theory on my fishmeal bait, it contains nectablend so it has a lovely coarse texture to allow leakage. i left a few in a big bowl of water for a couple of hours and a lovely haze of attraction leaked off, i know its different in a lake due to pressure etc but it still filled me with confidence.
i will have a look at including acid rennet and boosting the attraction package.
might me that i test it over the next few months and start using it properly next year.
