Upcycled Yeast-Derived Ingredients

Yeastup's UpFiber Beta-Glucan, derived from beer waste from breweries in Switzerland and across Europe, is an upcycled dietary fiber ingredient that has versatile applications across supplements, functional food products, and skincare. As a natural postbiotic, UpFiber Beta-Glucan is beneficial for supporting immune and gut health, while also improving the texture and stability of supplements, foods, and cosmetics.

Yeastup uses a patent-pending process that combines mechanical and gentle cell disruption with phase separation methods and advanced membrane technology to isolate protein, beta-glucan and mannoprotein in a single industrial process. In doing so, Yeastup removes unwanted fermentation by-products, such as bitter compounds, and the signature method produces soluble yeast proteins and quality fibers. Additionally, water is recovered and reintroduced into the process, which helps to support circularity.
