Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 29
Claim 1
Independent Claim
115 words
A process for the preparation of a seasoning composition which comprises: 1. decomposing suspended yeast cells by autolysis in the presence of potassium ions at a pH of 5 to 7 at a temperature of 30° C to 60° C, and thereafter performing the following steps in any selected order: 2. adding from 5% to 20% by weight sodium chloride so that the [K+]/[Na+] ratio is more than 0.5, 3. separating clear extract from the insoluble residue, 4. heating at from 90° C to 100° C for from 10 to 30 minutes, and 5. adding from 0.5% to 4% of a 5'-nucleotide; the percent by weight being based on the weight of the final composition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
