DESCRIPTION

Yeast Extract occurs as a liquid, paste, powder, or granular substance. It comprises the water-soluble components of the yeast cell, the composition of which is primarily amino acids, peptides, carbohydrates, and salts. Yeast Extract is produced through the hydrolysis of peptide bonds by the naturally occurring enzymes present in edible yeasts or by the addition of food-grade enzymes. Food-grade salts may be added during processing.
