The present invention addresses the problem of providing a dry composition containing yeast extract having improved adhesion to equipment during manufacture, improved caking during storage, and high flavor potency and flavor quality, and a method for manufacturing the same. The present invention provides a dry composition including yeast extract and dry yeast wherein the value calculated by dividing the cell wall fraction in the dry yeast (wt%) by the total nitrogen content in the dry yeast (wt%) is 16 or lower. The present invention also provides a method for manufacturing a dry composition including a step for drying yeast extract together with dry yeast, wherein the value calculated by dividing the cell wall fraction in the dry yeast (wt%) by the total nitrogen content in the dry yeast (wt%) is 16 or lower.本發明之課題為提供改善製造時對設備之附著,改善保存中之固結性,且具有高的呈味力價/呈味品質之含有酵母萃取物之乾燥組成物及其製造方法。本發明為提供一種乾燥組成物,其係含有酵母萃取物與乾燥酵母之乾燥組成物,其中,將乾燥酵母中之細胞壁區分(重量%),除以乾燥酵母中之全氮含量(重量%)所算出的值,為16以下。又,本發明為提供一種方法,其係包含將酵母萃取物與乾燥酵母一起乾燥之步驟的乾燥組成物之製造方法,其中,將乾燥酵母中之細胞壁區分(重量%),除以乾燥酵母中之全氮含量(重量%)所算出的值,為16以下。
