Upcycled Beer By-Products.
For centuries, brewers have used yeast to produce one of the world's most popular drinks: beer. After the fermentation process, the yeast cells take on less activity and are no longer sufficiently viable for future production, so they become inactive and are considered a by-product.
As a result, several thousand tons of brewer's yeast are produced daily as a by-product of brewing worldwide. Currently, this is mostly used as animal feed or goes to waste. This no longer seems appropriate in light of future sustainability challenges.
From Yeast With Love.
This tiny, single-celled microorganism does really great things in our lives. Its unique metabolic properties enable the biotechnical production of many of our most beloved daily foods. And it's officially vegan.
After being used in the brewing industry it can do even more for us. Our sustainable extraction process enables the extraction of valuable nutrients, such as proteins and fibers, from the inactive yeast cells and returns them to the food cycle as healthy, innovative and delicious products.
State of the Art
and Beyond.
In collaboration with leading Swiss universities and renowned equipment manufacturers, we have developed a technology to extract multiple nutrients such as proteins and fibers from yeast in a highly sustainable and energy-efficient industrial process. Through various sub-steps, we can obtain highly pure and functional nutrients for a wide range of applications.
In this way, we return protein and fiber to the food cycle and create valuable ingredients for new healthy foods - in the spirit of the circular economy.
