Better Ingredients. Better Future.


Clean and multifunctional ingredients
to empower companies in making healthy and sustainable products the new norm.

Building a Multi-Ingredient Powerhouse

At ProteinDistillery, we harness industrial sidestreams to create next-generation ingredients. Our proprietary process transforms fermented biomass (i.e. yeast) into clean-label, highly functional solutions. By dissecting the microorganisms’ cells into their building blocks, we can create a plentitude of ingredients with individual compositions attractive for various industries such as human food, pet food, animal nutrition, health, cosmetics, agriculture and biotechnology at large.

Introducing Prew®

Powered by yeast cells, ProteinDistillery offers a multi-ingredient product portfolio, catering to various needs across industries:

Prew®tein

Prewtein® is a clean label protein ingredient with superior functional and nutritional properties. Being non-novel food and non-GMO, Prewtein® can 

reduce or fully eliminate unwanted additives and animal-based ingredients (e.g., eggs) in a large variety of food products.

  • Logo ProteinDistillery Neutral off-white color
  • Logo ProteinDistillery Over 75% protein content
  • Logo ProteinDistillery Thermo-irreversible gelation
  • Logo ProteinDistillery Full solubility
  • Logo ProteinDistillery Great emulsification
We recommend the use of Prewtein® in food applications (e.g., meat-, cheese-, or egg alternatives).

Prew®fat

Prew®fat is a protein-fat emulsion similar to intramuscular fat, enabling juiciness in meat alternative products by uniquely retaining and locking in

moisture which does not dissolve upon heating, allowing for a bite and mouthfeel as similar to animal products as possible.
  • Realistic heterogenous texture
  • Increased juiciness
Prew®fat product example We recommend the use of Prew®fat in meat analogues.

Prew®mix Egg-like

Our egg-like Prew®mix delivers the functionality of Prewtein® in a carefully pre-mixed composition perfect for creating a clean label

alternative for scrambled eggs or omelettes.

  • Easy storage and long shelf life
  • Egg-like taste and texture

Prew®vital

The yeast cell wall fraction (Prew®vital) contains β-glucans, MOS, fibers, and vitamins, which can be utilized across various industries, including


human food, pet food, cosmetics, among others.

Prew®culture

Prew®culture is a fermentation supplement that can be used to increase growth as a replacement for yeast extract for fermentative

production on both a lab and industrial scale. Prew®culture contains a high content of needed trace elements and nitrogen required in microbial fermentation. Prew®culture can also be used for cell-culture growth.

Stay Prew®tuned

Our amazing R&D team is relentlessly working on further maximising resource efficiency and valorising as much as possible from our input

streams (currently brewer’s yeast). Thereby, we don’t just become more circular each day, but can also add more and more high-value ingredients to our portfolio.

Our Main Pillars

Sustainably Upcycled Materials

By relying on already existing raw materials — fermented biomass sidestreams — as input for Prew® ingredients, production is circular and highly sustainable regarding land & water use and GHG emissions versus industry standards.

Safe & Secure Supply

A short, constantly supervised supply chain ensures consistent year-round sourcing without seasonal variance. Utilizing many fermented biomass sources further reduces single-source dependence.

Supportive & Scalable Partners

We offer the expertise and manpower to co-develop recipes, run testing applications, and help integrate our ingredients into your own manufacturing processes at scale.

Upcycled Fermented Biomass

Got unvalorized sidestreams? Make them count!

At ProteinDistillery, we believe in utilizing sidestreams to create a better future. Our innovative approach as a multi-ingredient powerhouse leverages the microorganisms found in biomass like, for example, brewer’s yeast from brewing beer, making your industry by-products our input materials.

This symbiotic relationship not only allows us to offer functional, high-quality ingredients to the market, but it also supports your efforts towards a more circular and sustainable economy. By collaborating with us, you can help reduce unused sidestreams and drive positive change across many industries.
