MINIMUM 80% PROTEIN from baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)
Protein concentration is an important consideration when formulating plant-based foods, as non-animal sources of protein often have less protein on a per gram basis than animal proteins. Highly concentrated protein makes it easier to achieve the protein content desired with one ingredient. The higher the protein concentration, the more flexibility it offers to the developer, as it lessens the impact of this one ingredient on the final formulation

NON-ANIMAL SOURCE for vegetarian and vegan diets
Protein-rich animal-derived foods, including meat, dairy and egg products are the source of most protein to many populations. Transitioning to a more sustainable diet is a way to reduce the environmental footprint while also delivering health benefits to the consumer.

COMPLETE PROTEIN including branched chain amino acids
A complete protein contains all the essential amino acids (EAA), including branched chain amino acids (BCAA). Complete proteins are usually from animal-based sources of nutrition, and soy as a plant-based source. Engevita® HiPRO Beyond is a non-animal source complete protein, containing all EAA and BCAA and is non-allergenic.

SUSTAINABLE PROTEIN is a global need
The relative carbon footprint value for yeast protein is much lower than beef and pork and comparable to soy protein concentrate and pea protein concentrate. The relative land use for yeast protein is extremely competitive compared to beef, pork, soy protein concentrate or pea protein concentrate.

VERY MILD FLAVOR for savory and sweet applications
The very mild flavor of Engevita® HiPRO Beyond makes it easily adaptable and customizable to many dietary supplement and food applications, including beverage mixes, protein bars and snacks as well as dairy and non-dairy applications.

A complete protein, by definition, contains all the essential amino acids (EAA), including branched chain amino acids (BCAA). There are nine EAA including: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine.
Complete proteins are usually from animal-based sources of nutrition, and soy as a plant-based source.
Some EEA may be found in plant-based proteins, however, except for soy, these are usually incomplete proteins.
Engevita® HiPRO Beyond is a non-animal source complete protein, containing all EAA and BCAA. Unlike soy, it is non-allergenic.
These are amino acids that humans and other vertebrates cannot synthesize from metabolic intermediates and therefore they must be supplied by the diet.
Without EAA, a food is considered to be nutritionally incomplete. Continued ingestion of foods without EAA will eventually lead to malnutrition and related complications of poor health.
BCAA are essential amino acids and are synthesized in bacteria, plants, and fungi, but not in animals. They include isoleucine, leucine and valine.
The diet is the only significant source of BCAA. They are not only important for proper nutrition but also to stimulate protein synthesis and for muscle building as they contribute to anabolism.
Proteins comprise an important macronutrient in the diet, providing nitrogen and amino acids, which play a role in the synthesis of muscles, hormones, enzymes and other important structural or functional elements of the body.
Protein-rich animal-derived foods, including meat, dairy and egg products are the source of most protein to many populations.
High consumption of protein-rich animal derived products (e.g. beef, pork, lamb) has a detrimental impact on both health and the environment. In addition, the increasing demand of protein, globally, has made eating meat an unsustainable practice.
Transitioning to a more sustainable diet is a way to reduce the environmental footprint while also delivering health benefits to the consumer.
From a food supply perspective in the context of food security, yeast protein is a very interesting alternative protein as its production is independent of the season and can be obtained in a fairly short time. Fermentation could be seen as a new form of farming.
Yeast is also a good source for SCP production due to its superior nutritional quality.
The production of SCP in controlled systems called “bioreactors” is receiving increasing attention from research and industry. Single cell protein has low arable land requirements and does not directly compete with crop-based food commodities.
