Yeast Extract is a water-soluble ingredient produced through the autolysis of yeast cells, primarily derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It is rich in amino acids, peptides, nucleotides, vitamins, and minerals, making it valuable for both flavor enhancement and nutritional support.
Typically available as an orange paste or fine powder, Yeast Extract delivers a distinct umami, savory taste. It is widely used in the food, beverage, and nutraceutical industries for its ability to boost flavor while also offering functional health benefits.
Yeast Extract is extensively used as a natural Flavour Enhancer in soups, sauces, ready-to-eat meals, snacks, seasonings, broths, and processed foods. It imparts a savoury, umami taste that enhances the overall flavour profile of dishes without adding excessive salt.

For livestock and pet feeds, Yeast Extract offers the natural amino acids, amino peptides, and vitamins to support the immune system, growth, and the ability to be eaten.
The Yeast Extract is widely used in biotechnological and microbiological research as a component of nutrient-rich media to cultivate fungi, bacteria, and other microorganisms. It is an essential component in lab media, such as YPD (Yeast Extract, Peptone, Dextrose), to study the growth of microbial species.
Yeast Extract can be described as water-soluble. It is naturally-derived, high in nutrients and improves flavour without the use of synthetic additives. Its multiple functions make it perfect for beverage, food nutrition, research, and other applications.
