Less Salty, More Savory: Angel Yeast Reduces Global Sodium Intake with Yeast Extract Range

SHANGHAI, June 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Angel Yeast Co., Ltd ("Angel Yeast"), a listed high-tech yeast company in China, made a splash at the 24th Food Ingredients China, one of the largest trade shows in the field of food additives and ingredients. 

At the event, which took place from June 8 to 10 in Shanghai, Angel Yeast presented a series of innovative results that represent a new trend in the industry's development. Among all the items on display, the yeast extract ("YE") solutions range garnered most attention.

With more than 20 years of R&D, Angel Yeast has played a leading role in popularizing a range of innovative YE solutions that enhance taste and help reduce sodium intake. Angel Yeast's YE is derived from natural, nutritional fresh yeast and pack a magic flavor explosion — making it the ideal replacement for traditional umami enhancers such as MSG.

High sodium consumption can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. In a bid to cut back sodium intake around the world, WHO Member States have agreed on a global target to drive down salt intake by 30 percent by 2025. In turn, food innovators are being challenged to continue delivering taste while lessening their reliance on sodium — and yeast extract is fast becoming a game-changer in the modern food industry.

With proven reductions in salt and more flavor than other products in the market, we truly believe our yeast extract will play a significant role in helping the WHO cut down global sodium intake," said Li Pei, Technical Director of Angel's YE.

The Angel Yeast team has developed a comprehensive set of industrialized technologies for yeast strain breeding, high-efficiency fermentation, compound enzymatic hydrolysis, and salt reduction without flavor reduction.

Already sold in the Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America, Angel Yeast's YE range includes natural food seasoning innovations that are suitable for a diverse array of food applications. The company has a Basic YE in both powder and paste forms, as well as Umami solutions, which are ideal for those seeking clean label alternatives to sodium and MSG.
