The mixture of broken-down substances created when cells destroy themselves through autolysis, often used in laboratory research and fermentation.
From 'autolysis' + '-ate' (product or result of a process). This biochemistry term emerged in the 20th century from the verb 'autolyze.'
Autolysate is basically cellular soup—when yeast cells break down their own walls during fermentation, they release all their inner ingredients into the broth, which brewers and bakers love because it adds flavor and nutrition.
