Title:

METHOD FOR PRODUCING YEAST WITH HIGH GLUTAMIC ACID CONTENT

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/058527

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

Provided is a method for producing yeast containing glutamic acid at a high concentration. In a method for culturing yeast, yeast in stationary growth phase is subjected to liquid culture under the conditions that the pH of a liquid medium is 7.5 or higher and lower than 11. After the pH of the liquid medium for the yeast in stationary growth phase is adjusted to 7.5 or higher and lower than 11, the yeast is further cultured, whereby yeast with high glutamic acid content can be produced. In the invention, as the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae or Candida utilis can be used. Therefore, by using yeast with high glutamic acid content obtained by the above-said method and an extract obtained by extraction from the yeast, a seasoning composition and a food or drink with high glutamic acid content can be provided.
