China YEAST EXTRACT yeast infusion nitrogen source fermentation culture media Suppliers, Factory

Yeast extract powder is a fine, dry light yellow powder mainly processed from fresh beer yeast and baker’s yeast. Adopting modern biotechnology, it undergoes controlled autolysis or enzymatic hydrolysis to break down yeast cell structures thoroughly. After systematic separation, purification, concentration and advanced spray drying treatment, the finished product features stable texture and high purity. Rich in balanced nutrients, it is a complex mixture composed of free amino acids, small molecular peptides, abundant water-soluble vitamins, carbohydrates such as oligosaccharides and trehalose. With excellent solubility and great nutritional activity, it provides sufficient nitrogen sources, growth factors and trace elements. It is widely used to prepare microbial culture media, applied in biological fermentation, biopharmaceuticals and food industry, effectively promoting microbial proliferation and metabolism in industrial production and laboratory research.

Application

Yeast extract enjoys extensive application across multiple industrial fermentation fields. It is widely adopted in the production of innovative biomedicines, amino acids, vitamins and organic acids, as well as enzyme preparations and probiotic fermentation processes. Besides, it also serves as a key nutrient raw material for manufacturing biological preservatives, bio-pesticides and microecological products, acting as an essential nutritional supplement to support microbial growth in various biomanufacturing workflows.

Usage

Fully dissolved and sterilized before use.

Packaging

Compound Paper Bag with 25kg/bag or Cardboard Bucket. Reagent-grade products are packaged with 250g plastic bottle (or be packed according to the measurement requirements of customer and OEM Package as well).
