Yeast Wall-Breaking Enzyme

Yeast wall-breaking enzyme is a compound enzyme specially developed by our biological research and development team for yeast cell wall-breaking. The complex structure and hardness of yeast cell wall led to the creation of this enzyme, which is mainly composed of β-glucanase, mannanase, and chitosanase. It is soluble in water, and the aqueous solution appears as a gray-yellow opaque liquid.

Yeast Cell Wall Composition

Yeast cell wall is made up of polysaccharides such as mannans, dextran, methanosomes, proteins, and lipids. The structure of the cell wall is complex and hard. Yeast wall-breaking enzyme degrades the cell wall polysaccharides and other components, making the yeast cell structure disordered and loose. This process releases proteins from the cell wall, facilitating enzymatic digestion by proteases in subsequent steps. This product is specifically designed for yeast cell wall breaking hydrolysis and should be used in combination with yeast extractase or other compound enzymes for yeast hydrolysis.

Applications

Yeast Extract Production

Yeast wall-breaking enzyme can be used for re-hydrolysis processing of beer waste yeast, bread waste yeast, etc., resulting in yeast extract (also known as yeast extract or yeast flavoring). This extract enhances freshness, fragrance, and provides a mellow sense to food. It is widely used in soups, sauces, and seasonings.

Casual Food

Many casual foods in the market, such as spicy small fish, pickled pepper phoenix claws, and salt chicken legs, can benefit from the use of yeast extract as a flavoring agent. It effectively enhances the flavor and taste of the products, improving overall quality.

Sauce Processing

Using yeast protein in sauce processing helps save on raw material costs. Enzymatic hydrolysis of yeast avoids the drawbacks of long production time, low yield, poor flavor in acid hydrolysis, and high salt content. In countries like Europe, the United States, and Japan, yeast extract is commonly used to replace meat hydrolysis or MSG as a daily condiment and nutritional filler in beef paste.
