Abstract
Seasoning compositions, and processes for their production, which have an improved and enhanced meat-like flavor, and comprise mixtures containing extracts of yeast autolysates, 5'-nucleotides, sodium chloride and potassium salts; the potassium ion concentration being more than 0.5 times the sodium ion concentration.
Claims28
A process for the preparation of a seasoning composition which comprises:
- 1. decomposing suspended yeast cells by autolysis in the presence of potassium ions at a pH of 5 to 7 at a temperature of 30.degree. C to 60.degree. C, and thereafter performing the following steps in any selected order:
- 2. adding from 5% to 20% by weight sodium chloride so that the [K+]/[Na+] ratio is more than 0.5,
- 3. separating clear extract from the insoluble residue,
- 4. heating at from 90.degree. C to 100.degree. C for from 10 to 30 minutes, and
- 5. adding from 0.5% to 4% of a 5'-nucleotide;
- the percent by weight being based on the weight of the final composition.
