All Three Yeast Based Vegan Umami Flavor Enhancers

 

Nutritional Yeast

AKA Nooch

This is lab created yeast that is fed glucose and cultured then killed by heat and then put thru a centrifuge to separate out the umami creating compounds.

This is used when a cheesy flavor is desired.


Marmite

Marmite is the leftover by products of the beer brewing process. Its beefy, salty and full of umami and savory flavors



Autolyzed Yeast Extract

Autolyzed Yeast Extract is created by taking yeast and heating it till the cells break and then the cell walls own digestive enzymes break the proteins down into its most basic compounds of glutamates and amino acids. This is the chief flavoring agent in most gravy mixes.
