Announcing that it has completed the installation of the main plant for industrial yeast protein production project in Baiyang Yichang, China, Angel Yeast prepares to boost its yeast protein production to meet the growing global demand for alternative proteins.
Angel Yeast, one of the global leaders in yeast manufacturing, has officially completed the topping out of the main plant for the industrial yeast protein production project at Baiyang Yichang, China, which will boost an annual output of 11,000 tons, a milestone of Angel Yeast’s sustainable protein development strategy. The company states that it 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 cereal and legume cultivation to dairy farming, is time-consuming and may struggle to meet future demands for quantity, quality, and sustainable supply. Therefore, there is an urgent need to innovate large-scale, low-cost, and high-quality protein production methods. Angel Yeast explained that it has achieved the breakthrough to extract proteins from yeast, only taking hours, boosting production efficiency significantly. To meet the growing market demands, the company is expanding production capacity and the 11,000-ton production line is expected to be put into operation in 2025.
“Looking forward, Angel Yeast will continue to increase our investment in the R&D of yeast proteins, improve production technologies and expand fields of expansion, and contribute to building a sustainable future for all,” said Zhang Yan, Assistant General Manager of Angel Yeast and Dean of the Angel Yeast Research Institute.
