Technical bulletin on yeast extraction

THE speciality enzyme development and manufacturing company, Biocatalysts Ltd has released a comprehensive bulletin titled ‘The Use of Enzymes in Yeast Extraction’, to help readers understand the stages of yeast extraction and the way in which enzymes can improve this process.

Biocatalysts manufactures enzymes such as those that speed up the extraction process, increase yields, reduce viscosity, improve the solubilisation of debris, aid clarification, enhance flavour and more. One is the Promod™ 950L, a microbial alternative to the traditionally used papain enzyme. The microbial origin of this comparative enzyme not only allows for use in kosher, Halal and vegetarian products, but also removes variability of quality and supply associated with plant derived material.

The technical bulletin is available on the company’s website.
