Do you know the difference between yeast hydrolysate and yeast extract? Now let me show you the difference between the two

    Yeast hydrolysate and yeast extract are different. Yeast hydrolysate is the hydrolysis product of yeast cells, while yeast extract is the dried product of soluble components within yeast cells.

    Yeast hydrolysate is a product obtained by using pure cultured yeast cells as raw materials and subjecting them to wall breaking hydrolysis through hydrolytic enzymes. It is rich in nucleic acids, nucleotides, small peptides, digestive enzymes, free amino acids, rich B vitamins, and yeast cell walls. In contrast, yeast extract is a pure natural product refined by using modern biotechnology such as autolysis, enzymatic hydrolysis, separation, and concentration to degrade proteins, nucleic acids, and other substances within yeast cells. Yeast hydrolysate has good application prospects in the feed industry, and can be used as a supplement for amino acids, peptides, and B vitamins. Its nucleotide substances have important nutritional effects on animals, especially young animals.

    Yeast extract is a pure natural product in the form of a brownish yellow soluble paste or light yellow powder, which is refined by degrading proteins, nucleic acids, etc. inside yeast cells through modern biotechnology such as autolysis, enzymatic hydrolysis, separation, and concentration. It is rich in peptides, amino acids, flavor nucleotides, B vitamins, and trace elements, and is commonly used in the food industry.

    Specifically, yeast hydrolysate contains the entire components of yeast cell wall, while yeast extract contains almost no yeast cell wall. In addition, yeast hydrolysate is rich in amino acids, small peptides, B vitamins, glutathione, and nucleotide substances, while yeast extract is mainly the dried product of yeast contents.

    In short, yeast hydrolysates are more focused on providing nutritional supplements, while yeast extracts are more commonly used for food seasoning and freshness enhancement.
