Yeast extract powder by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. This is a processed form of yeast which is made by extracting the cell contents, generally removing the cell walls in the process. The yeast extract contains glutamic acid among other nutrients. Yeast extract may be autolyzed, which contains the cell walls, where the yeast cells are broken down by their own enzymes. Hydrolysed yeasts are broken down using enzymes added externally for the sole purpose. The compound is stable under general conditions, however, it is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. Quantity Provided: 500 gm per bottle Suitable for bacteriology Powder form Yeast extract has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. It is used in the food industry as a food additive and flavouring agent. Yeast extract is widely employed as a nutrient source in various microbiological media for bacteriological purposes. It provides various nutrients and growth factors which enrich media and can selectively grow certain microorganisms. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
