Saccharomyces cerevisiae containing 28% polyphosphate and production of a polyphosphate-rich yeast extract thereof.
FEMS Yeast Research 2019 Februrary 5
Currently, inorganic polyphosphate is chemically synthesized from phosphate rock and added directly to food products. Yeast extract is a concentrate of soluble fractions of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and is, as a food additive, generally regarded as safe. The aim of this study was to biotechnologically produce a naturally polyphosphate-rich yeast extract. Polyphosphate-rich cells were produced with a wild type (non-GMO) S. cerevisiae by orthophosphate-starvation and subsequent orthophosphate-feeding, and contained 28% (w/w) polyphosphate (as KPO3) in cell dry weight, which is the highest content reported so far. Four yeast extract production protocols (autolysis, plasmolysis, enzymatic hydrolysis without and with prior heat inactivation) were tested, whereas the latter was the most promising. From the polyphosphate-rich cells, yeast extract paste and powder were produced containing 20 and 14% (w/w, as KPO3) polyphosphate with an average chain length of 31 and 3 P-subunits, 7 and 14% (w/w, as K1.5H1.5PO4) orthophosphate, 22 and 0% (w/w) water, respectively. For the first time, naturally polyphosphate-rich yeast extracts were produced, which possibly can be used as a clean-label food additive and biological alternative to chemically synthesized polyphosphate in food products.
