DESCRIPTION

Yeast, Autolyzed, occurs in granular, powdered, flake, or paste form. It is the concentrated, nonextracted, partially soluble digest obtained from food-grade yeasts. Solubilization is accomplished by enzyme hydrolysis or autolysis of yeast cells. Food-grade salts and enzymes may be added. Yeast, Autolyzed, contains both soluble and insoluble components derived from the whole yeast cell. It is composed primarily of amino acids, peptides, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and salts.
