Abstract
Process for the production of a flavoring agent, in which a yeast lysate is mixed with moromi or a moromi fraction, and the mixture is allowed to react at 30.degree.-70.degree. C. in order to convert the AMP of the lysate to IMP.
Claims16
A process for converting adenosine-5'-monophosphate (AMP) to inosine-5'-monophosphate (IMP) for use as a flavoring agent, which process comprises mixing sufficient amounts of a yeast lysate and a moromi or a moromi fraction to form a mixture, allowing the mixture to react at a temperature of between about 30.degree. and 70.degree. C. and for a time sufficient to convert at least a portion of the AMP of the lysate to IMP, thus producing a flavoring agent.
