Angel Yeast Explores Yeast Protein Innovation and Sustainable Future of Humanity

Angel Yeast Explores Yeast Protein Innovation and Sustainable Future of Humanity
With the global population projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, the demand for protein is set to skyrocket—potentially leaving a 250 million-ton gap in supply. Relying solely on livestock to bridge this divide risks exacerbating climate change, resource depletion, and food insecurity. But what if the solution lies in something microscopic? Angel Yeast is pioneering a solution using advanced high-throughput screening technology to identify high-protein yeast strains. At their R&D center in Yichang, scientists are exploring how yeast —a tiny, sugar-eating fungus— could help tackle this global challenge. Through an advanced fermentation process and post-extraction, yeast protein can be used in plant-based foods, beverages, and meat alternatives, helping to diversify protein sources and address shortages, particularly in Asia. Plus, it’s more resource-efficient, cutting water and energy use. Using high-throughput screening technology, Angel Yeast’s biotechnology team identifies high-protein strains for applications in everything from plant-based foods and beverages to meat alternatives. Beyond boosting protein supply, yeast fermentation is also more resource-efficient, reducing both water and energy consumption. Could yeast be the future of sustainable protein? Watch the video to see how Angel Yeast is pioneering innovation in alternative proteins ⬇️

Angel Yeast is a gold partner for Future Food-Tech San Francisco on March 13-14, 2025. Meet the Angel Yeast team at their booth on-site and hear from their Director of Innovation, Winston Sun as he takes the stage as part of a thought-provoking panel on “Exploring the Impact of GLP-1 on the Food System & Human Health.”
