“…To identify the hydrophilic components of yeast extract, non-targeted GC-MS analyses were performed after trimethylsilylation according to a previous report. [15] Each 5.0 g/L yeast extract sample (E1, E2, E3, E4, M1, M2, M3, and M4) and mixed samples (E1-E4, E2-E4, E3-E4, E4-M1, E4-M2, E4-M3, E1-M3, E2-M3, E3-M3, M3-M1, M3-M2, and M3-M4) were prepared and autoclaved at 121degC for 20 min. The sample (100 μL) was combined with 20 mg/mL ribitol (60 μL).…”
