Yeast Extracts

Yeast extracts is a natural product, dissoluble in water and fats, produced from baking yeast by autolysis or enzymic hydrolysis.

Yeast extract is a valuable nutrient ingredient, containing protein, high level of group B vitamins, microelements and unique amino acids, which are part of requirements by FAO/WHO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN/World Health Organisation) for highly nutritious food products.

Yeast extract doesn’t contain live cells and, therefore, destructed yeast cannot cause digestive disorder or disbacteriosis. It is not accumulated in the body, cannot be allergenic or toxic.

With the help of yeast extracts and reaction flavorings you can solve different technological tasks, such as:

  • optimization of material utilization, reduction of costs;
  • covering of undesirable off-notes in the final product (greasiness, taste of MSM, etc.);
  • enhance natural taste;
  • increase attractiveness of the product;
  • creating a taste profile (meat, chicken, cheese, etc.).

Benefits of yeast extracts:
  • Complex of essential amino acids and flavors, similar to meat
  • High level of natural glutamic acid and nucleotides
  • 100% efficiency of gustatory components
  • Create rich complex meat taste
  • Non-allergenic, completely natural product
  • Thermostable, without volatile components. Provide stable taste during the whole shelf live

We offer the following taste solutions for your production:

  1. Flavor base yeast extracts.
  2. Reaction flavors – flavorings on the basis of yeast extracts that underwent Maillard Reaction.
  3. Yeast extracts for natural taste enhancement.
  4. Taste compounds, based on yeast extracts and reaction flavors.
