Abstract
The effect of high pressure homogenization (600 and 1000 bar) prior to autolysis of a commercial pressed baker's yeast was examined. High pressure homogenization released a maximum of 30% of the solids and 34% of the total nitrogen (TN). After autolysis of the whole homogenized slurry, high yields of solids and TN (up to 81 and 85%, respectively) were obtained. Autolysis of non-homogenized controls yielded much lower yield values (30 and 39%, respectively), whereas autolysis in the presence of papain but without prior disruption gave intermediate values (50 and 61%, respectively). The various treatments led to changes in the extract composition: standard autolysates had the highest total nitrogen and true protein weight contents and the lowest carbohydrate content, whereas this trend was reversed when cells were first disrupted before autolysis. In contrast to controls obtained by standard autolysis without or with papain, centrifuged autolysates from pre-homogenized fractions were not clear. Treatment with a combination of a flocculation and a weighting agent clarified the extracts but resulted in a loss of solids (approximately 20%), including nitrogen and carbohydrates.
