Angel Yeast has officially started operation of its next-generation 11,000 ton yeast protein production line at the Baiyang Biotechnology Park in Yichang, Hubei.
The facility produces high-purity yeast protein with a protein content exceeding 80%. This marks a key step in meeting growing global demand for sustainable protein, significantly enhancing the company’s global manufacturing footprint and reinforcing its leadership in the alternative protein and sustainable nutrition markets.
Besides animal and plant proteins, novel alternatives such as yeast protein is also gaining ground in industry applications. In 2025, the company’s yeast protein product, AngeoPro, received the iSEE ‘Annual Innovative Technology’ award for its exceptional performance. As an efficient and environmentally friendly novel protein, it is rich in complete amino acids and dietary fiber. Through ongoing technological refinement, AngeoPro achieves industry-leading purity and a clean taste profile free from off-notes. Its clean flavor allows for direct consumption or blending with whey and soy, making it suitable for a variety of multi-protein applications.
Angel Yeast’s yeast protein is produced using advanced bio-fermentation technology. This new line integrates state-of-the-art process control technologies, enabling full-process automation from fermentation, autolysis, separation, to drying, while establishing an intelligent, end-to-end production system encompassing raw materials, packaging and warehousing. The entire manufacturing process takes place in controlled fermentation tanks, making it stable, sustainable and independent of climate, season, or location.
Li Ku, General Manager of Angel Yeast’s Protein Nutrition and Flavoring Technology Center, said, “As global priorities continue to shift toward health, nutrition and sustainability, we see unprecedented market potential for yeast protein.”
