2080923 9116447 PCTABS00008 The invention provides a process for the production of yeast extracts which exhibit novel and interesting flavours. The process comprises the enzymatic hydrolysis of a mixture of yeast protein and non-yeast protein. Suitable non-yeast protein sources include soya bean meal and whey solids. The hydrolysis may be effected by the enzymes responsible for the autolysis of yeast or additional enzymes may be added to the mixture. The water-soluble fraction from the hydrolyzed mixture is concentrated to form pastes for use in foodstuffs.
