Plant-based Alternatives

Yeast extracts, autolyzed yeast, and inactive yeast are ingredients that can enhance plant-based meat, fish, poultry, and cheese applications. Adding them to your preparation can:

  • Impart umami and overall taste.
  • Reinforce flavors like beef, meat, chicken, cheese, grilled, and smoked.
  • Provide longer-lasting flavor perception while helping reduce sodium content.
  • Contribute to the texture, rheology, color of the product.
  • Enrich the nutritional profile with a natural source of protein, fiber, minerals, and vitamins.
