Abstract
The present disclosure concerns a method of obtaining a composition having yeast proteins derived from yeast protoplasts. The present disclosure also includes compositions comprising yeast proteins derived from yeast protoplasts, edible products derived from said composition as well as usages thereof.
Claims21
A method for obtaining a composition having yeast proteins, wherein the method comprises the following steps:
- a) providing a yeast cream comprising yeasts;
- b) inactivating the endogenous enzymes of the yeasts to provide an inactivated yeast cream;
- c) subjecting the inactivated yeast cream to an enzymatic treatment to obtain an insoluble fraction comprising yeast protoplasts and a soluble fraction;
- wherein the enzymatic treatment comprises at least one polypeptide having a glucanase activity;
- and wherein the enzymatic treatment lacks ribonuclease activity;
- d) separating the insoluble fraction from the soluble fraction;
- and
- e) collecting the insoluble fraction, wherein the collected insoluble fraction, when dried, is the composition comprising the yeast proteins and has a protein content equal to or higher than 60% based on the total mass of the dried collected insoluble fraction.
5 more elements
A composition comprising yeast proteins being derived from yeast protoplasts and having:
- a protein content equal to or higher than 60% based on the total mass of the composition;
- a lipid content lower than 20% based on the total mass of the composition;
- a carbohydrate content lower than 25% based on the total mass of the composition;
- a mannan content lower than 6% based on the total mass of the composition;
- a glucan content lower than 10% based on the total mass of the composition;
- and/or
- a glucose content lower than 25% based on the total mass of the composition.
