Angel Yeast Revolutionizes Sustainable Protein with Yeast-Based Innovation
Angel Yeast (SH600298), a global leader in yeast manufacturing, has reached a significant milestone by completing the topping out of its main plant for industrial yeast protein production in Baiyang Yichang. This cutting-edge facility, set to produce 11,000 tons annually by 2025, is a pivotal step in Angel Yeast’s commitment to advancing sustainable protein development.
🌱 Why Yeast Protein?
Traditional protein sources like cereals, legumes, and dairy farming require extensive resources and time, struggling to meet future demands. Angel Yeast offers a breakthrough: extracting protein from yeast within hours, drastically improving efficiency while significantly reducing environmental impact.
💡 The Advantages of Yeast Protein:
- Low Carbon Footprint: Producing yeast protein emits 1/20 of the CO₂ compared to animal protein.
- Resource Efficiency: Minimal land and water usage.
- Nutritional Powerhouse: Angel Yeast’s AngeoPro contains:
- 80% protein content.
- All nine essential amino acids (47% of total amino acids).
- Higher protein utilization rates than plant-based or whey proteins.
🍴 Applications & Expansion
AngeoPro is transforming the food industry, finding its way into protein bars, cereals, chips, cookies, and plant-based meats. Angel Yeast showcased these innovations at Food Ingredients Global Europe 2024 in Frankfurt, while expanding its reach to Asia by partnering with a leading vegan protein bar brand in India.
🌍 Global Momentum in Alternative Proteins
As demand for meat in the Asia-Pacific region surges—projected to account for 50% of global consumption by 2050—alternative proteins like yeast are becoming mainstream, much like solar energy and electric vehicles a decade ago.
💬 What’s Next for Angel Yeast?
“We are dedicated to scaling yeast protein production, enhancing R&D, and expanding applications to contribute to a sustainable future for all,” said Zhang Yan, assistant GM of Angel Yeast and Dean of the Angel Yeast Research Institute.
Angel Yeast is revolutionizing protein production, building a sustainable future one innovative step at a time.
