    Yeast extract is produced through the autolysis of yeast cells, where the yeast's own enzymes break down proteins and other components. This releases peptides, amino acids, vitamins, and other components. Once insoluble parts are removed, the remaining soluble components are called yeast extract. Yeast extract is rich in amino acids, peptides, carbohydrates, and salts and is used as a natural flavoring in foods to impart savory notes and enhance flavor. It is also used as a source of nitrogen and growth factors in culture media for microorganisms used in producing items like antibiotics, probiotics, and vitamins. Yeast extract is made through a process that involves separating yeast from culture media, opening and autolyzing cells,

    Yeast Extract

    Denition of Yeast Extract


    When a yeast cell is inactivated, a natural digestion process called "autolysis" starts. During this process the
    yeast's own enzymes break down proteins and other parts of the cell. This causes the release of peptides,
    amino acids, vitamins and other yeast cell components which, once the insoluble components have been
    removed, is called "Yeast Extract".
    The Food Chemical Codex denes Yeast Extract as follows: " Yeast Extract comprises the water soluble
    components of the yeast cell, the composition of which is primarily amino-acids, peptides, carbohydrates and
    salts. Yeast Extract is produced through the hydrolysis of peptide bonds by the naturally occurring enzymes
    present in edible yeast or by the addition of food-grade enzymes".
    The two main applications of Yeast Extract
    Natural aromatic ingredient for savoury foods
    Yeast Extracts are increasingly used for their unique taste, which is the result of amino acids and small
    peptides formed out of the yeast protein by the autolysis process. They constitute a natural avour
    ingredient, imparting delicate bouillon, meaty or cheesy notes and enhancing the avour for a wide range of
    food products : soups, sauces, meat and sh preparations, savoury mixes, etc.

    Source of nitrogen & growth factors for culture media
    Yeast Extracts are rich in nitrogen, vitamins and other growth stimulating compounds and therefore are used
    as an ingredient in media for the cultivation of microorganisms. These organisms are for example used in the
    production of antibiotics, biopharmaceuticals, vitamins, organic acids, dairy cultures, probiotics, etc.
    Production process of Yeast Extract
    The raw material is baker's or brewer's yeast. The yeast cells undergo the following treatments:

    Separation from the culture medium

    Opening of the cells : moderate heat treatment or salt addition which allows the conservation of the
    enzymes

    Autolysis : this step of the process is performed under mild conditions of pH and temperature ; its duration
    depends on the type of yeast and to what extent the proteins have to be broken down

    Separation of the insoluble part such as Yeast Cell Walls from the water soluble components of yeast
    (mainly proteins, peptides, amino-acids, etc...) which constitute the Yeast Extract

    Concentration and pasteurisation of the Yeast Extract solution

    Packaging in pails, drums or totes for the liquid and paste forms (resp. 50 - 65 % and 70 - 80 % dry
    matters)

    or Spray drying and Packaging in bags, boxes, big bags for the powder forms, which can be in ne or
    granulated particles, or even oil coated to prevent the emission of dust.
