PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A YEAST EXTRACT

摘要

A suspension of yeast cells is prepared, the cells are mechanically disintegrated and subjected to autolysis, autolysis being intensified by the addition of proteolytic enzymes. A sulphite is added to the yeast suspension before or after the mechanical disintegration step, the insoluble fractions are separated from the hydrolysed suspension, a compound of calcium is added to the supernatant liquid and the supernatant liquid is clarified. The process produces low-salt yeast extracts.
