Yeast Extract CAS#8013-01-2
Yeast Extract (CAS# 8013-01-2) is produced using raw materials such as baker's yeast or brewer's yeast. Through processes like autolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis, macromolecular substances within the yeast cells, such as proteins and nucleic acids, are broken down, and the product is then obtained via separation and concentration. Its composition is diverse and rich in amino acids. For instance, glutamic acid imparts umami taste, while alanine contributes a mellow flavor. The various peptides present serve not only as nutrients but also possess biological activity, while nucleotides contribute to flavor formation and enhance the overall flavor profile. Additionally, it contains a comprehensive range of B vitamins, such as B1, B2, B6, and B12, as well as minerals like potassium, magnesium, and iron.
