Yeast Extract in Vegetarian and Vegan Products

More consumers are choosing vegetarian or even vegan diets. Keeping up with this trend, yeast extracts provided by Viet Duc offer many flavor options for vegetarian products. Yeast extract is now a key ingredient in meat, fish, or cheese alternatives. They help:

• Masking unwanted flavor profiles of plant-based proteins, e.g., earthy, beany, grassy, or bitter notes.

• Recreating typical meat and roasted notes, from "cooked" to "roasted".

• Creating cheese flavors for cheese substitutes.

• Providing a lasting umami flavor to food products.

Overall, yeast extracts help develop essential flavors and improve nutritional profiles.
