Products Description
High-Protein Yeast Protein Powder | 80% Protein, 95% Digestible, Vegan & Non-GMO | Ideal for Sports Nutrition, Plant-Based Foods & Dietary Supplements
Our Yeast Protein Powder is derived from food-grade Saccharomyces cerevisiae, using patented non-GMO strains fermented in our self-owned facilities. Through low-temperature spray drying (≤60°C) and ultrafiltration technology, it achieves HPLC-verified protein content ≥80% (dry basis) with 95% digestibility-far exceeding the industry average. This product contains all 9 essential amino acids (EAA ≥40%), with lysine (6.2g/100g protein) and methionine levels higher than soy protein, presenting as a fine off-white powder with subtle umami flavor. It is 100% vegan, allergen-free (no soy, dairy, gluten, nuts), and complies with FDA GRAS, EU Novel Food, and USP standards, with zero pesticide, solvent, or heavy metal residues. Suitable for sports nutrition, vegan foods, dietary supplements, and pet nutrition, it is a versatile high-value plant-based protein ingredient trusted by global brands.

Product advantages
Why Choose Our Yeast Protein Powder
High-Protein Yeast Protein Powder | 80% Protein, 95% Digestible, Vegan & Non-GMO
80% Ultra-High Protein Content
HPLC-verified protein content ≥80% (dry basis), 20% higher than industry average (60-70%)-reduces raw material dosage by 30% for brand formulations, cutting costs significantly.
95% Digestibility & Complete Amino Acids
Contains all 9 essential amino acids (EAA content ≥40%), especially high in lysine (6.2g/100g protein) and methionine-95% digestibility (vs. 75% for soy protein), no bloating or digestive discomfort.
Vegan & Allergen-Free
100% plant-based (derived from food-grade Saccharomyces cerevisiae), no soy, dairy, gluten, or nuts-complies with global vegan standards, avoiding cross-contamination risks (critical for clean label brands).
Low Fat & Zero Added Sugars
Fat content ≤2%, carbohydrate ≤5%, zero added sugars or artificial flavors-ideal for low-carb, high-protein formulations (e.g., keto sports nutrition, weight management products).
Heat-Stable & Versatile
Retains 98% protein activity at 180°C-suitable for baking, extrusion, and high-temperature processing (unlike whey protein which denatures at 100°C), covering 99% of food/beverage formulation needs.
Global Regulatory Compliance
Certified by FDA, EU Novel Food, Vegan Society, Non-GMO Project, and Kosher-supports brand entry into 130+ countries, no regulatory barriers for B2B clients.
Product Applications
Our Yeast Protein Powder is incredibly versatile. Here's how it can be used across different industries:
- Sports Nutrition: Ideal for protein powders, ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages, and protein bars. Its slow-digesting properties provide sustained amino acid release for prolonged muscle recovery .
- Functional Foods & Meal Replacements: Used in high-protein cereals, meal replacement shakes, and healthy snacks to boost protein content and promote satiety for weight management .
- Plant-Based & Meat Alternatives: Enhances the texture and nutritional profile of vegan meat products, vegetarian sausages, and plant-based seafood due to its high protein content and emulsifying properties .
- Bakery & Confectionery: Incorporated into bread, pastries, and protein cookies to increase protein levels without negatively affecting taste or texture.
- Beverages: Suitable for protein-fortified drinks, smoothies, and plant-based dairy alternatives because of its solubility and neutral flavor .
