SHANGHAI, April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The 2nd International Symposium on Yeast Protein Science and Technology, co-hosted by Angel Yeast (SH600298), was held on April 11, 2026 in Yichang, drawing a worldwide viewers of over 350 main researchers and senior trade executives. The symposium serves as a number one trade platform in the choice protein sector, bringing collectively stakeholders to speed up innovation, strengthen worldwide collaboration, and help the event of extra nutrition-focused, health-conscious, and sustainable meals programs, reflecting the increasing position of yeast protein in the worldwide protein panorama.
Sun Baoguo and Chen Jian, each Members of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), and Zhou Weibiao, Member of the Singapore National Academy of Science, delivered the keynote addresses. Sun famous that the worldwide meals tech panorama was being reshaped, with Asia’s analysis now reaching worldwide competitiveness. Chen highlighted that biomanufacturing might quickly contribute one-third of worldwide manufacturing output, emphasizing that the trade’s success depended on sustainable pressure breeding and optimized manufacturing. Drawing on Singapore’s expertise, Zhou underscored that geopolitical volatility had intensified the necessity for meals self-sufficiency, whereas figuring out shopper acceptance as a key problem for commercialization.
The three academicians praised current breakthroughs in yeast protein analysis and industrialization, calling yeast protein an efficient response to world challenges and an indicator of “new quality productive forces” and “future food.”
“Yeast protein is undoubtedly a critical category,” Zhou acknowledged. “Our ultimate goal is to move it beyond being just a ‘alternative’ and make it a staple for everyday consumers. This is a collective effort.”
A marquee second of the gathering was the worldwide unveiling of the White Paper of Yeast Protein (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The publication delivers a consolidated, data-driven overview of the most recent advances in dietary science, medical well being outcomes, regulatory milestones, and scalable manufacturing. It positions microbial fermentation as a viable, long-term answer to rising world protein provide challenges.
Complementing the discharge, Angel Yeast launched two new yeast protein merchandise: AngeoPro™ Yeast Protein Hi90-A and Yeast Protein S80-A. Hi90-A delivers a excessive protein content material of 88%, providing a clean mouthfeel and impartial taste profile best for the demanding necessities of premium sports activities diet and specialised dietary teams, whereas S80-A affords full water solubility, concentrating on rising and fast-growing segments equivalent to ready-to-drink (RTD) drinks and protein-fortified waters. Angel additionally launched different new merchandise together with useful yeast proteins with excessive gelation and excessive leucine content material.
The technical session provided a granular have a look at yeast protein analysis and its increasing software panorama. Sessions detailed its confirmed efficacy in sports activities efficiency restoration, sarcopenia mitigation, gastric mucosal safety, and intestinal barrier modulation. International voices from the United States, the Netherlands, Belgium, India, and Israel shared the most recent advances in yeast protein science and its cross-sector purposes. During the discussions, Manish Chauhan, Co-Founder of Arboreal, an India-based firm that has been instrumental in introducing and selling yeast protein in India, famous a rising consensus that yeast protein is evolving from an “alternative protein” right into a “the third protein,” poised to grow to be a mainstream protein.
The symposium additionally served as a catalyst for tangible deal circulate. Beijing Technology and Business University formalized a joint analysis initiative with Angel Group, and 5 main home and worldwide meals manufacturers signed strategic partnership agreements on the sidelines. An on-site exhibition showcased use instances of the Angeopro yeast protein portfolio, spanning efficiency diet, wholesome growing older, useful meals, and mainstream dietary staples. Following the occasion, attendees toured Angel Yeast’s state-of-the-art manufacturing campus for a firsthand have a look at commercial-scale manufacturing capabilities.
“This symposium provides an important platform for the global community to exchange insights, align on priorities, and drive shared momentum,” mentioned Xiong Tao, Chairman of Angel Yeast. “We are eager to deepen our collaboration with experts, academics, and industry partners—strengthening technology development, sharing best practices, and accelerating the transition from research to market. Through continuous scientific innovation, Angel Yeast is dedicated to supporting global food security and making premium nutrition both accessible and affordable for all.”
