Angel Yeast Shows Off Innovative Yeast Protein

The 2025 IFT FIRST (Food Improved by Research, Science, and Technology) conference, recognized as one of the premier events for food science and innovation, took place from July 13 to 16 in Chicago. Among the noteworthy exhibitors, Angel Yeast showcased a range of innovative products centered around yeast protein, yeast extract, and baking solutions with the themes "Yeast Extract - Enjoy a Flavorful Life" and "Yeast Protein - Redefining Future Proteins."

At the exhibition, Angel Yeast prominently featured its latest advancements in yeast protein, which are characterized by their natural, sustainable, and high nutritional value. The displayed products demonstrated applications of these ingredients and technologies that cater to a rising consumer demand for flavorful, healthy, and sustainable food options.

A significant trend in today's market is the increasing consumer appetite for high-quality protein supplements and weight management solutions, alongside a heightened focus on clean labels. A 2025 Innova survey revealed that over 25% of North American consumers are inclined towards a high-protein diet, while there’s been a remarkable 668% increase in new food and beverage launches with claims friendly to GLP-1 (Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide) from 2022 to 2024.

"The IFT exhibition has shown us the tremendous potential of yeast protein. It not only addresses the pain points of traditional protein but also opens new pathways for sustainable and healthy food," stated Hang Tao, General Manager of Angel Yeast North America Division. He further emphasized the company's commitment to providing high-quality protein solutions that meet market demands while ensuring a stable and reliable supply.

Among their offerings, Angel Yeast's Angeopro™ stands out as a high-quality alternative protein that aligns with modern health trends. This premium plant-based protein is specifically formulated for weight management and sports nutrition. Recent studies have highlighted yeast protein's efficacy in protecting against muscle loss, making it a valuable addition to many diets.

Angeopro™ is produced with natural and sustainable manufacturing processes, and its advantages include outstanding bioavailability and a balanced amino acid profile comparable to high-quality animal protein. Further enhancing its appeal, the protein offers a clean, impurity-free taste without the beany aftertaste associated with many plant proteins, nor the dairy notes present in whey protein. This characteristic makes it a versatile base for various recipes. Its low allergy profile and non-dairy composition allow a wider audience to enjoy it without concerns.

In production and supply aspects, Angeopro™ utilizes environmentally friendly fermentation processes, guaranteeing a stable supply chain coupled with notable cost advantages.

Angel Yeast also introduced its Yeast Extract Savory, a 100% natural, non-GMO ingredient designed to enhance umami and savory flavors. This ingredient allows for a sodium reduction of up to 20% without sacrificing taste while simultaneously balancing sweetness, making it an ideal choice for plant-based products, snacks, sauces, soups, and meat alternatives.

In addition to these key products, the company showcased a wider range of offerings, including the natural flavor yeast Feravor'-Buttery for baking, various types of baking yeast, nutritional yeast tablets, vitamin K2, PQQ, and innovative brewing solutions, including non-alcoholic beer yeast NAO5.

"Angel Yeast is dedicated to our mission of 'Developing yeast biotechnology, innovating for a healthy life,'" said Hang Tao. The company aims to invite food manufacturers, industry partners, and professionals to collaborate in delivering healthier and more sustainable food solutions, ultimately striving to create a brighter future for the food industry.
