"We are thrilled to open our new R&D complex after more than a year of planning

and construction. We believe this project will further accelerate the

advancement of Angel Yeast's innovation system in major industries, including

yeast and yeast derivatives, healthy ingredients and raw materials, nutrition

and healthcare, and non-yeast related biotechnologies," said Xiong Tao,

chairman of Angel Yeast.

Xiong pointed out that other than the development of biotechnology, the company

pursues the innovation of healthy life as well.

"By enhancing our independent innovation capabilities and strengthening our

international cooperation, we have cemented Angel Yeast's position as a leader

food flavoring, baking and Chinese dim sum, agricultural biotechnology,

environmental protection, industrial innovation, nutrition & health, and

testing.

Researchers at Angel Yeast's complex will concentrate their efforts on

exploring plant-based meat alternatives, food flavor enhancements, gut health

and probiotics, clean nutritional sources for fermentation, immune health and

sports nutrition, alternatives to antibiotics, and yeast production and

sustainable development.

Since its inception, Angel Yeast has remained committed to scientific and

technological progress, and is leading or participating in the formulation of

all national and industry standards for yeast and yeast derivatives. Angel

products and with Chr. Hansen to develop probiotic formulations to meet the

health needs of different consumer groups.

To date, Angel Yeast has established multiple regional service centers to
