From Brewers' Yeast to Big Flavour: Discover LEIBER Yeast Extracts!

Umami is gaining attention in food science and consumer awareness – and yeast extracts have plenty to offer when it comes to creating rich, well-rounded flavour profiles. 

Naturally rich in umami

Amino acids, yeast peptides and nucleotides naturally occur in yeast extracts –they are the main sources of umami taste, contributing to the characteristic savoury taste of yeast extracts.

And more than just umami

Depending on the application, LEIBER yeast extracts play a role in:

• Meaty notes from slow cooked meat to roasted barbecue profiles
• Making spicy food even spicier
• Stronger cheese taste
• Improved creaminess
• Supporting roasted notes in chocolate and coffee
