Some chemical, biochemical and physical treatments on the baker's yeasts (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) before 12-hour digestion at $50^{\circ}C$ were made to accelerate their autolysis. Dilute alkali treatment with 0.01N-NaOH solution showed a considerable increase in soluble nitrogen extraction only in the 6-hour initial autolysis. The addition of fresh yeast autolysate, 10% to the yeast slurry, could increase the autolysis rate from 65% to 83%. Microwave treatment of yeast slurry for 40 seconds also raised the autolysis rate by about 15%, while longer exposures to the microwave accompanying high temperatures repressed the autolysis process. Extrusion of the yeast cells with high pressures of 16,000 to 20,000 psi brought about significantly higher autolysis rate until the digestion time of 9 hours, but thereafter it showed a gradual drop in soluble nitrogen extraction.

A study on the processing of soy curd powder with soybean milk and kril autolasate has been carried out to prolong tile self life and to improve the taste and colour of soy curd. The soy curd was manufactured by coagulation of the soybean milk prepared from soybean through a series of processes of soaking, grinding, heating at $500^{\circ}C$ for 5 minutes and filtration. Ten hours was reasonable as the soaking time of the soybean for the high yield of soybean milk. The use of $3\%$ $glucono-\delta-lactone$ to the weight of the raw soybean showed the best coagulation of the soybean milk at $90^{\circ}C$ in relation to the yield and content of crude protein of the soy curd. The soy curd powder prepared by spray drying of soyben milk could be coagulated at $90^{\circ}C$ by the addition of $glucono-\delta-lactone$ after suspending in water. The powder manufactured by spray drying of the mixture of soybean milk and drill autolasate could also be coagulated under the same conditions to produce the soft soy curd. Another powder prepared by spray drying of the mixture of soybean milk, krill autolysate and $glucono-\delta-lactone$ could be coagulated by standing at room temperature after 2 minutes boiling.
