Yeasty (Accelerator)

Company Description: Yeasty produces a protein-rich super-ingredient for food manufacturers by leveraging the power of an industrial by-product : brewer's yeast. We have unlocked the main barrier to upcycling brewer’s yeast at a large scale for human food applications: its bitterness. Our main technological innovation is based on the de-bittering of yeast recovered from brewers through a process that does not alter neither the naturality of the product nor its nutritional properties. The business innovation is based on the circular economy, as we are using a recovered raw material at an attractive cost for brewers, still allowing for large-scale production at a competitive selling price. Our final product offers great characteristics to food manufacturers: it is a natural and complete yeast flour with 50% protein and all the essential amino-acids. It is also rich in fibre, vitamins and minerals. All this with a naturally present and tasty umami flavour!
