an autolysis or hydrolysis step. Yeastock employs a purely physical process of momentarily heating the yeast cell to a very high temperature. This does not only deactivate the yeast cell but also causes the cell wall to rupture. As a consequence the high content of glutamic acid is not the result of the breakdown of the proteins in the autolysis step, but is has been produced naturally by the cell.
Asahi engineers found the right conditions for the yeast to naturally produce glutamic acid. Of
