Empowering food companies to make plant-based foods the new norm through clean, functional protein ingredients.

Relying on one of mankind’s oldest cultural technologies, we create clean label protein ingredients with superior functional and nutritional properties. These proteins can replace animal-based ingredients and reduce or fully eliminate unwanted additives in a variety of food products.

Product

We offer a highly functional, vegan and non-novel food protein ingredient made from brewer’s yeast. Our product delivers extraordinary functionality in a wide range of applications:

Clean solutions

Meat Alternatives

The better solution without the egg

Egg Replacement

Enabling a fully egg-free bakery

Baked Goods

Milk & Cheese without the animal

Dairy Alternatives

Process

With our process, we separate brewer’s yeast into its functional building blocks and then recompose them to meet the needs of our customers. Our unique, gentle processing ensures a clean and fully native protein that can be used in food products to bring all the benefits of animal-based protein functionalities, without sacrificing taste, quality, or nutritional value.

Upcycling Biomass

At ProteinDistillery, we believe in utilizing side streams to create a better future. Our innovative approach to producing vegan protein

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 high-quality protein 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 waste and drive positive change in the food industry.
