YESTEIN® Yeast Protein by NURA is a high-quality protein ingredient produced through the fermentation of baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The YESTEIN® portfolio includes 80% and 90% protein options, as well as CLEAR YESTEIN® for clear protein applications.
YESTEIN® offers a complete amino acid profile with a PDCAAS of 1.0, providing a strong nutritional protein profile for formulators evaluating alternatives to whey protein. It can be used alongside whey in a hybrid protein system or as a whey replacement, depending on the formulation and nutritional goals.
As an allergen-free, fermentation-derived protein, YESTEIN® gives brands another way to deliver high-quality protein while reducing reliance on dairy-based protein sources. With options designed for neutral and savory flavor profiles, YESTEIN® can support a wide range of applications.
Applications include protein powders, ready-to-mix (RTM) products, shakes, functional beverages, snacks, gummies, breads, baked goods, savory foods, and clear protein beverages.
NURA can help formulators determine the right YESTEIN® Yeast Protein based on the application, target protein level, amino acid and nutritional goals, flavor profile, processing requirements, and desired level of whey replacement.
For brands searching for yeast protein, fermented protein, high-quality protein, allergen-free protein, whey protein alternatives, whey replacement, or clear yeast protein, NURA provides ingredient selection, technical guidance, and formulation support to help identify the right YESTEIN® solution.
