This study compared the differences in amino acid content between aerobic and anaerobic yeast, and investigated the effects of proteolytic enzymes on amino acid content. The results showed that aerobic yeast had higher amino acid concentrations, and hydrolysis with papain and alkaline protease released more amino acids, especially when applied to aerobic yeast.
This study investigated the effects of aerobic and anaerobic growth and proteolytic enzymes on the amino acid content of yeast hydrolysates in relation to taste and nutrition. Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC5574 was grown under fed-batch aerobic or batch anaerobic conditions. Intracellular glutamic acid (Glu) concentrations were 18-fold higher in aerobic yeast. Hydrolysis with papain and alkaline protease released more amino acids (AA) than simple autolysis or hydrolysis with bromelain, most significantly when applied to aerobic yeast (similar to 2-fold increase). Autolysates and bromelain hydrolysates from aerobic yeast had low levels of bitter and essential AAs, with high levels of umami Glu. Papain and alkaline protease hydrolysates of aerobic yeast had high levels of umami, bitter and essential AAs. Autolysates/hydrolysates from anaerobic yeast had moderate, high, and low levels of bitter, essential and umami AAs. Selection of both yeast growth conditions and hydrolysis enzyme can manipulate the free AA profile and yield of hydrolysates.
