Functional Yeast Protein Solutions
We combine yeast and plant proteins to create high-performance blends or premixes for your application — clean, functional and great-tasting.
For baking that
stand out
Yeastin® PRIME brings structure and reliability to egg-free bakery recipes. It supports volume, crumb and binding where eggs usually do the heavy lifting – from muffins to soft cakes.
✔️ Stable structure and even crumb formation
✔️ Reliable performance during mixing and baking
✔️ Neutral taste, easy to flavour
✔️ Helps simplify egg-free bakery formulations

For smooth, stable emulsions
Yeastin® PRIME enables egg-free emulsions with the texture consumers expect. It supports oil binding, stability and creaminess in plant-based mayonnaise and dressings.
✔️ Strong emulsification and oil binding
✔️ Creamy mouthfeel with a clean taste
✔️ Robust performance during processing
✔️ Designed for efficient, egg-free sauce formulations

Frequently Asked Questions
What is yeast protein?
Yeast protein is protein derived from yeast such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Yeastup recovers functional protein from brewer’s yeast and uses it in application-specific ingredient solutions, alone or combined with selected plant proteins.
How is yeast protein different from nutritional yeast?
Nutritional yeast mainly consists of deactivated whole yeast cells and is typically used for its flavour and nutritional value. Yeast protein is processed specifically to recover and concentrate the protein fraction, making it suitable for high-protein and functional food applications.
Why combine yeast protein with plant proteins?
Different proteins provide different nutritional, sensory and functional properties. Combining yeast protein with selected plant proteins makes it possible to optimise protein content, taste, texture, solubility and processing performance for specific applications.
Can yeast protein be used as an egg replacement?
Functional yeast protein can provide important functions normally delivered by eggs, including binding, emulsification and structure. Yeastin® PRIME is designed for applications such as egg-free bakery products, mayonnaise and emulsified sauces.
Where can yeast protein be used?
Yeast protein can be used in high-protein bars, ready-to-mix nutrition products, bakery applications, emulsions and meat alternatives. Yeastin® solutions are tailored to the nutritional and functional requirements of these different applications.
