On the morning of May 23, 2025, Asia Chemical Corporation (ACC), a member of Asia Ingredients Group (AIG), in collaboration with Angel Yeast, successfully hosted a technical seminar titled “Yeast Protein: Natural, Complete, and Sustainable Protein Solutions for the Future.”

The event welcomed a large number of businesses, industry professionals, and partners in the food and nutrition sector. It aimed to introduce a new ingredient trend with high application potential and strategic significance, especially as the industry is shifting toward healthier and more eco-friendly products.

Ms. Quach Thi Thu Phuong – Deputy General Director of ACC – shares the company’s vision for developing Yeast Protein in the Vietnamese market.

The seminar featured expert-led presentations that explored the biological roles and nutritional benefits of Yeast Protein. With a complete amino acid profile, this protein helps stabilize energy, enhance flavor, and improve sensory characteristics. It can also be flexibly applied across multiple product categories including bakery, beverages, dairy, and plant-based foods. These qualities position Yeast Protein as a compelling choice for developers seeking ingredients that offer real value to modern consumers.

In addition, Yeast Protein is produced using fewer natural resources and emits significantly less than traditional protein sources. This makes it a promising contributor to a food production ecosystem that prioritizes safety, environmental responsibility, and long-term sustainability.

Mr. Harvey Dong – Head of R&D at Angel Yeast – presents an in-depth session on the properties, functions, and real-world applications of Yeast Protein in the food industry.

One of the most engaging parts of the seminar was the live tasting session. Attendees sampled prototype products made with Yeast Protein, developed by the R&D teams at ACC and Angel Yeast. These samples clearly demonstrated the ingredient’s flexibility and practical potential. Positive responses collected from sensory feedback show that the Vietnamese market is ready for effective, real-world alternative protein options.

With strategic collaboration from Angel Yeast, a global leader in biotechnology, ACC aims to introduce Yeast Protein as a breakthrough ingredient that supports product innovation and sustainable growth for the domestic food industry.

In the next phase, ACC will launch a series of Innovation Days hosted on-site at partner and customer locations. Through direct sessions with Angel Yeast’s technical experts, ACC is committed to working alongside Vietnamese businesses to co-create and refine product solutions tailored to local market needs, from early formulation ideas to commercial application.
