[Amino acid makeup of preparations from baker's yeast autolysates]

Yeast autolysis and hydrolysate composition were studied with respect to the autolysis of baker's pressed yeast. A method of isolating a mixture of amino acids and lower peptides from autolysates was developed, using ion-exchange resins. The above compounds reached maximum accumulation by the 15-20th hour of autolysis. A mixture of amino acids applicable to nutrition, including dietotherapy, was prepared.
