Natural Umami Flavour Enhancer for Food & Beverage Applications
Catalogue No: ASF-3014 | CAS: 8013-01-2
Food Grade Non-GMO Allergen-Free Vegan Clean Label Australian Made
Overview
Yeast Extract – Food Grade is a high-quality natural flavour enhancer produced through the controlled autolysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells. This process releases naturally occurring amino acids, peptides, nucleotides, and B-group vitamins, delivering a rich umami and savoury flavour profile without artificial additives.
Suitable for clean-label formulations, plant-based foods, fermented products, and traditional savoury applications. Manufactured under food-grade quality systems for consistent flavour performance and batch-to-batch reliability.
Functional Components
| Free Amino Acids | Primary contributors to savoury and umami taste — glutamic acid dominant (≥25% dry basis) |
| Peptides | Enhance flavour depth, kokumi character, and mouthfeel in finished food products |
| Nucleotides (5'-IMP, 5'-GMP) | Synergistic umami enhancement with free glutamate |
| B-Group Vitamins | Naturally occurring thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid |
| Minerals | Natural trace minerals — potassium, phosphorus, magnesium |
