AI Technical Summary
The application of yeast protein in food is significantly limited by yeast off-flavors in existing technologies, and glycosylation reactions may lead to the generation of unpleasant flavors, making it difficult to effectively improve its flavor characteristics.
Yeast protein was treated with proanthocyanidins in a synergistic glycosylation process. The yeast protein was purified by alkali dissolution and acid precipitation, and then reacted with proanthocyanidin solution after being mixed with xylose solution. After dialysis and freeze-drying, glycosylation was formed to improve the yeast protein.
It significantly reduces the bitterness and astringency of yeast proteins, generates beneficial volatile flavor compounds, improves the flavor characteristics of yeast proteins, and provides a more efficient method for flavor improvement.
