Revyve Launches “Next-Generation” Gluten-Free Egg Replacer, Kickstarting Production With New Facility

Dutch food tech company revyve has announced the launch of a new gluten-free egg replacer made from baker’s yeast. Described as “next-generation”, the ingredient is said to have excellent texturising functionalities while being fully neutral in flavour and colour. This is said to make it ideal for use in flavour-sensitive products such as sweet baked goods. The baker’s yeast is grown on molasses, a co-product of the sugar industry, in line with revyve’s commitment to circular economy principles. Revyve previously launched a flagship egg replacer made from brewer’s yeast, but this contains traces of gluten. As a result, the company decided to develop an allergen-free alternative that retains capabilities such as gelling, emulsifying, binding, and water-holding. “During the roll-out of our initial brewer’s yeast line, …

revyve & EGGcited to Launch Brewer’s Yeast Proteins Following Successful Scaleup

In 2021, the EGGcited project launched to industrialize processes for extracting new ingredients from spent brewer’s yeast.  Now, the project has developed a process to upscale revyve’s technology, which produces novel cellular proteins and fiber ingredients from the upcycled yeast. These ingredients can replace egg white, dairy proteins, and E-numbers such as methylcellulose or calcium diphosphate. Additionally, they can significantly improve the taste and texture of alt meats made via high moisture extrusion.  “Ingredients of animal origin, such as meat, milk and eggs, are the main sources of protein used in the food industry. However, the production of animal proteins is not sustainable,” says EGGcited on its website. Great opportunities Coordinated by the Dutch public-private consortium NIZO, EGGcited members include family firm Ruitenberg Ingredients — …

Revyve Develops Egg White Replacer Made From Spent Brewer’s Yeast

Dutch company Revyve has created a plant-based egg white replacer made from upcycled spent brewer’s yeast. The product is made by processing the yeast — which is a renewable byproduct of beer production — into proteins and fibers. The process takes place at low temperatures and does not require enzymes or harsh chemicals. With four million barrels of beer produced per year, Revyve has a virtually endless supply of yeast and does not need to grow any biomass. The company’s clean-label egg replacer is said to be ideal for use as a binder in plant-based meats, and also adds an umami flavor. Additionally, Revyve offers two more product solutions made from upcycled yeast. One is a protein-fiber blend designed for use in extruded meat alternatives, …
