<p>This invention discloses a method for producing yeast extract by adding chitosan to yeast to thereby promote the autolysis thereof. Conventional methods for effecting the autolysis of yeast mainly comprising the addition of an organic solvent thereto are problematic in that the organic solvent, not being a naturally occurring product, must be thoroughly removed from the yeast extract when it is used as food. According to this invention, an excellent yeast extract can be obtained by promoting the autolysis of the yeast through the use of chitosan derived from natural products.</p> |
