Yeast Extract – Food Grade
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.
