Abstract: Provided are a modified milk having a yeast extract containing gamma-aminobutyric acid and a preparation method therefor. The modified milk comprises, in a total of 1,000 parts by weight of ingredients: 800-970 parts of raw milk, 0.1-10 parts of a yeast extract containing gamma-aminobutyric acid, 0-4 parts of a thickening agent, 0-3 parts of an emulsifier, 0-1 parts of an acidity regulator, 0-130 parts of a sweetener, and 0-2 parts of a flavor essence, with the balance being water, wherein the thickening agent and the emulsifier cannot be absent at the same time. The modified milk has not only the functionality of gamma-aminobutyric acid, but also a rich, creamy, and milky flavor as well as smooth texture, and is free of distinctive irritating yeast odor.

Abstract: A vegetarian meat product made from yeast proteins, and a preparation method therefor and an application thereof, relating to the technical field of natural product development and utilization. The vegetarian meat product from yeast proteins comprises the following components: a meat flavor yeast extract, extruded puffed yeast protein filaments, a TG enzyme, vegetable protein, vegetable oil, a thickener, and auxiliary materials. The prepared vegetarian meat product not only has a real meat flavor and a weak beany flavor, but also has a good fiber taste and can provide eaters with a relatively digestible protein source.

Abstract: Non-meat-derived yeast extracts having rich meat flavor, and a preparation method therefor. The method includes: (1) mixing a yeast extract, vitamins, amino acids and water, and adding reducing sugar as needed; (2) adjusting the pH of a mixture obtained in step (1) at 4.0-8.0 with a pH regulator, and stirring the mixture to react at a temperature of 80-130° C. for 30-180 min to obtain a thermal-heated product; (3) adding vegetable oil into the thermal-heated product, and adding edible salt as needed to obtain a material to be dried; and (4) performing vacuum drying on the material to be dried obtained in step (3), and crushing the dried material. According to the present invention, the yeast extract is taken as a main raw material of a Maillard reaction, and a small amount of vitamins, amino acids and reducing sugar are added, so that the formula is simple.

Abstract: A method for producing yeast extract including 4-30% disodium inosinate and disodium guanylate (I+G), comprising a) providing a yeast cream including 8 wt. % or more of RNA, b) inactivating the yeast in the yeast cream, c) centrifugating the yeast cream and collecting a supernatant, d) degrading the supernatant with enzymes, e) heat-treating, and f) concentrating and drying the supernatant. The resultant yeast extract is natural, involves no additive, and has better flavor. The invention further provides yeast extract is produced by the method.
