 This survey reviews the current application of yeast extracts and autolysates in the food, fermentation and other areas and its impact on savoury flavours. Major yeast extract companies are profiled and their output is given

 Yeast Extract is the water soluble portion of autolyzed yeast with intact B-complex vitamins. Ideal for general bacteriological use with a variety of microorganisms. Yeast Extract is guaranteed BSE-Free.

 Yeast extracts are natural flavouring agents obtained from baker's or brewers' yeast.Baker's yeast extracts are obtained from yeast cream specially cultured on a molasses medium..

 Brewers' yeast extracts are obtained from yeast cream collected directly from breweries following beer production. The cream is then thoroughly washed before autolysis..

 In both cases, the process for obtaining the yeast extracts involves complete autolysis, i.e. a transformation of proteins into peptides and amino acids, implemented through the proteolytic enzymes present in yeast cells. The cell membranes are discarded, enabling completely soluble yeast extracts to be obtained. These products are available in various forms suited to different types of use: liquid, semi-paste, paste, fine powder, oil-coated powder, microgranulated powder.

 Acitivity of yeast extracts in cell-free stimulation of DNA replication:

 Abstract:Extracts of the cytoplasm of disrupted spheroplasts of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (bakers' yeast) stimulated DNA synthesis in a cell-free system consisting of nuclei from spleen cells of the frog Xenopus laevis, The stimulation required Mg++8 ATP, and the deoxynucleoside triphosphates, was saturated by an excess of nuclei or extract, and had kinetics resembling those obtained previously with extracts from mammalian and avian cells. After addition of the yeast extract, replication "eyes" were formed in the DNA from the nucleochromatin of the frog, suggesting that the extract stimulated the initiation of DNA replication. The activity was susceptible to heat, was nondialyzable, and was abrogated by tryptic digestion. Temperature-sensitive mutants of the cell division cycle (cdcmutants 4,7,8, and 28) grown at permissive temperature (23 degrees) yielded extracts that were capable of stimulating DNA replication. When the cells were incubated for one generation at the nonpermissive temperature (36 degrees), their extracts showed very low or no activity. All of these mutants are deficient in events of the dependent pathway leading to initiation of DNA synthesis in the yeast cell cycle. A ts mutant, cdc10, deficient in the separate pathway for cytokinesis, showed little or no loss of activity at the nonpermissive temperature. These data indicate that the "initiation" activity, as assayed in vitro, is subject to control in the yeast cell cycle, and its appearance may be one of the terminal events in the pathway leading to DNA synthesis. The finding that extracts from yeast cells can stimulate DNA synthesis in nucleochromatin from frog cells, and the fact that the cdc mutants 4,7,8, and 28 describe a dependent pathway terminating in development of "initiation" activity, are in accord with the hypothesis that the function of proteins in the dependent pathways of the cell cycle is conserved during evolution.
