At BRC Food Tech, we supply premium yeast extracts derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae—a trusted source for both flavor enhancement and nutritional enrichment in food production. Yeast extracts are widely valued for their umami-rich flavor, clean label status, and ability to support healthy formulations.

What is Yeast Extract?

Yeast extract is the soluble fraction of yeast cells, produced primarily through autolysis—a process where the yeast’s enzymes break down cell components. In some cases, acid hydrolysis or exogenous enzymes are used to tailor the flavor profile and functionality.

The final product contains:

• 35–40% free amino acids
• Natural glutamic acid (approx. 5%)
• B vitamins and trace minerals
• Bioactive peptides and nucleotides

These components not only provide nutritional value but also enhance the overall sensory profile of food products.

Flavoring Properties & Functional Benefits

Yeast extract contributes diverse flavor notes depending on its production process, including:

• Umami & Meaty
• Roasted & Toasted
• Cheesy & Savory
• Salt-Enhancing & Taste-Masking

It’s natural glutamate content delivers the umami sensation—similar to monosodium glutamate (MSG)—but in a natural and label-friendly form. Even at levels below 1%, it can enhance taste without overpowering.
