During China’s “915” Salt Reduction Week in September 2024, Angel Yeast partnered with experts, including Dr. Yao Ying, the Director of Clinical Nutrition at Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science & Technology, to explore the vital role of yeast extracts in promoting healthier salt reduction. An in-depth interview by Xinhua News Agency highlighted how this natural ingredient effectively reduces sodium intake without compromising flavor.

Unlocking the Secrets of Salt Reduction: How Yeast Extracts Enhance Your Dishes?

As health awareness continues to rise, reducing salt intake has emerged as a crucial trend in global diets. Yeast extracts serve as a natural food ingredient that can lower sodium content while maintaining or even enhancing the taste of food. Their use in the food industry is on the rise, reflecting a growing demand.

Angel Yeast’s unique enzymatic technology extracts rich proteins, amino acids, and peptides from yeast. These components work synergistically with sodium to enhance the salty taste experience, enabling consumers to reduce salt usage without sacrificing flavor. In the fields of peptide extracts and high nucleic acid extracts, Angel’s technology is recognized as a global leader.Through ongoing investment in research and development, the company has transitioned from a follower to an industry leader, solidifying its position as a technological pioneer.

According to the report “Now & Next in Sodium Reduction – Global” by INNOVA Market Insights, a company that provides market insights for the food and beverage industry, consumer demand for low-sugar, low-fat, and low-sodium products is rapidly increasing, especially in Western Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Brazilian and Mexican consumers are particularly proactive in reducing salt and sodium intake. Both the food and beverage industry are responding by using natural flavor enhancers like yeast extracts to lower sodium content while preserving food flavor. Yeast extracts have become the most widely adopted products in the global salt reduction flavor enhancer market.

Zhang Yan, Director of Angel Yeast Research Institute, stated, “Since 2002, we have been researching the application of yeast extracts in salt reduction. Today, our technology is at the forefront globally. This represents not only a breakthrough in science and technology but also our commitment to consumer health.”

As one of the world’s largest producers of yeast extracts, Angel Yeast actively responds to global salt reduction initiatives, striving to expand the application of yeast extracts in international markets and promote healthy eating worldwide. Currently, 90% of reduced-salt soy sauce in China utilizes yeast extracts. Angel Yeast will continue to drive technological innovation and market education, enhancing nutritional and health literacy to achieve global salt reduction goals.
