Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A process to produce a yeast extract is described comprising a) subjecting yeast to autolysis; and b) subjecting the autolysate to solid/liquid separation and recovering the soluble fraction, whereby the solid/liquid separation in step b) is done at a pH of less than 5.1. The process of the invention is simple, has a high yield, and results in a yeast extract having low turbidity.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for producing a yeast extract having a low turbidity comprising: a) subjecting a yeast to autolysis; and b) subjecting the autolysate to solid/liquid separation and recovering a soluble fraction, wherein the autolysis in a) is performed at a pH of greater than 5.0, wherein the solid/liquid separation in b) is done at a pH of lower than 4.0 and higher than 1.0 and wherein the turbidity of the yeast extract produced by the process measured at a dry matter content of 5% is less than 20 NTU. 2. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the pH in b) is 3.5 or less and higher than 1.0. 3. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the pH is higher than 2.0. 4. The process according to claim 1 , wherein recovering in b) is done by centrifugation. 5. The process according to claim 1 , comprising after b): c) converting RNA into 5′-ribonucleotides. 6. The process according to claim 5 , comprising after c): d) separating the 5′-ribonucleotides from other soluble material. 7. A yeast extract wherein turbidity of the yeast extract measured at a dry matter content of 5% is less than 20 NTU. 8. The yeast extract obtainable by the process of claim 1 .
