YICHANG, China, Nov. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Angel Yeast Co., Ltd ("Angel Yeast"), a listed high-tech yeast company in
China, has launched AngeoPro F80, a vegan-friendly, allergen-free,
natural-origin yeast protein. An ideal solution to complement plant-based
protein sources to meet the growing demand for protein across the globe,
AngeoPro F80 is rich in nutrition and protein content with properties that can
neutralize off-flavors and boost the overall taste profile.
"As a unique microbial protein, yeast protein can not only provide similar
nutritional value to animal protein, but also address the concerns involving
plant-based protein such as genetic modification and shortage of land
resources. We believe yeast protein is one of the best alternative protein
sources in the market now," said Eric Ao, General Manager of Angel Yeast Europe
Division.
Protein is an important component of human tissues and organs, which plays a
crucial role in various systems to maintain the growth and metabolism of
tissues. Sufficient intake of high-quality protein is particularly essential
for the maintenance of physical health.
Data from the Plant-Based Foods Association (PBFA) and The Good Food Institute
(GFI) showed that 18 percent of households in the US opt for plant-based meat.
The research also revealed that the growth rate of plant-based meat consumption
is two times more than its animal protein counterpart, making up 2 percent of
sales of retail meat products in the country. However, people who choose
plant-based meat as a primary protein source tend to suffer from a low protein
digestion rate, which underscores the need to find a more sustainable solution
to substitute or complement plant-derived protein products.
A natural ingredient that has been consumed for thousands of years in food and
beverages such as bread, wine, and beer, yeast has emerged as an excellent
alternative. Yeast protein is derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Its
production process adds food-grade enzymes and processing aids to partially
remove the non-protein parts of yeast protein products, thus bringing protein
concentrate to over 75 percent. Yeast protein is also deemed an ideal protein
source for food formulations due to its balanced amino acids composition and
micronutrients as well as high digestibility, which makes it a high-quality
protein source with high bioavailability and places it in the same rank as
soybean – one of the most recognized plant-based sources of protein – in terms
of nutritional level.
Yeast protein is made through an eco-friendly fermentation process that
minimizes environmental impact, requires limited land use for cultivation and
is less affected by harvest and seasonality that plant-based protein production
is subjected to. Research shows that the carbon emission generated during the
production of yeast protein is 20 times less than that of beef, so it is a
sustainable protein in comparison to other more resource-intensive and
environmentally impactful options. In addition, yeast protein does not contain
any genetically modified organisms, suitable for vegans, vegetarians, and
flexitarians.
Besides inheriting all the benefits of yeast protein, AngeoPro F80's high
protein content is on a par with plant-based protein, and some of the essential
amino acids in AngeoPro F80 has nearly double the amount of WHO/FAC
recommendations, including lysine (9.43g/100g), isoleucine (5.94g/100g) and
leucine (9.78g/100g).
AngeoPro F80 can be widely used in various products including protein bars,
beverages, and baked sweets, as well as a wide range of plant-based food
including vegan fish, vegan burgers, vegan cheese analog, vegan chicken
cutlets, etc. Coupled with Angel's off-note masking technology and the full
range of yeast extract products, we also provide low-salt, taste-boosting
solutions to enhance the flavors and mouthfeel of plant-based foods to mimic
the tastes and flavors of chicken, beef, and cheese.
