Acid hydrolysis of dried fodder's yeast Candida utilis was studied by a central composite design taking into account three independent variables: temperature (105–165C), processing time (30–70 min) and HCl concentration (7.5–17.5%). Response variables were: color, dry matter solubilization and amino nitrogen. Temperature was the most significant variable followed by acid concentration and processing time. Response surfaces were generated from fitted polynomials. Higher temperatures to prevent amino nitrogen degradation were not investigated. As different effects were found for color development and amino nitrogen, a combined function was tested which yields the behavior of all responses simultaneously. The best conditions were: 150C, 15% HCl and 40 min. After neutralization with 6N NaOH and centrifugation, the raw sauce was supplemented with 12% NaCl, 0.1% monosodium glutamate, 2% vinegar and 0.1% sodium benzoate and evaluated by sensory analysis for eight distinct attributes. Imitation sauce from yeast was at least as good as commercial hydrolyzed soybean sauce.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
