Yichang, China, January 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Angel yeast (SH600298), a global leader in yeast manufacturing, officially completed the finishing of the main factory of the yeast protein industrial production project in Baiyang Yichang, which will increase an annual output of 11,000 tons, a milestone of Angel yeast sustainable protein development strategy. The company is committed to building a sustainable future with innovative fermentation technologies and advanced biomanufacturing capabilities to advance the development of global alternative proteins and new sustainable food products.
Traditional protein production, from growing grains and pulses to dairy production, is time-consuming and may struggle to meet future demands for quantity, quality and sustainable sourcing. There is therefore an urgent need to innovate large-scale, low-cost, high-quality protein production methods. Angel yeast has achieved a major breakthrough in extracting proteins from yeast, in just a few hours, significantly increasing production efficiency. To meet the growing market demand, it is increasing its production capacity and the 11,000 ton production line is expected to be put into operation in 2025.
Yeast proteins provide significant environmental benefits by effectively reducing reliance on land and water resources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon dioxide emissions associated with yeast protein production are approximately 1/20 of those from animal proteins. AngéoPro by Angel yeast significantly expanded the application of yeast proteins. Products range from protein bars, protein-rich cereals and chips to yeast protein powder, biscuits and alternative meats.
“AngeoPro has redefined the ‘protein of the future,’ with 80 percent higher protein content and a 96 percent protein utilization rate that outperforms almost all plant-based proteins. It also provides all nine essential amino acids needed by the human body, which make up 47 percent of total amino acids, while in comparison, whey protein contains 46 percent of essential amino acids, while plant proteins generally only make up than 35 to 40%, which makes AngeoPro yeast protein a nutritionally advantageous protein. and a very effective source of high-quality protein,” said Zhang Yandeputy general director of Angel yeast and dean of the Angel Yeast Research Institute.
Bruce Friedrichfounder and CEO of the Good Food Institute, recently spoke at the Asia Pacific Agri-Food Innovation Summit in Singaporewhere he noted that the Asia-Pacific the region’s meat demand is expected to account for 50 percent of the global total by 2050. He compared the development of alternative proteins to that of solar and electric vehicles a decade ago, which were not seen as a choice viable energy transformation at the time, but which is now common.
With the costs of yeast proteins falling dramatically, global and Asian markets are quickly responding to trends and promoting potential technologies.
Angel yeast takes the lead in the overall layout. She exhibited AngeoPro products at Food ingredients Global Europe 2024 held in Frankfurt, Germanyand introduced the ingredient into a popular brand of vegan protein bars in India this further broadens the application.
“Look forward to, Angel yeast “We will continue to increase investment in yeast protein R&D, improve production technologies and expand areas of expansion, and contribute to building a sustainable future for all,” said Zhang Yan.
