Scientific Innovation Meets Market Demand

The centerpiece of Angel Yeast's exhibition was the unveiling of AngeoPro™, a high-purity yeast protein solution designed to address the formulation challenges prevalent in the sports nutrition and functional beverage sectors.

Unlike conventional proteins, AngeoPro™ S80-A is distinguished by its ≥80% protein content and unique physical properties.

This allows for the creation of transparent, high-protein functional waters and RTD (Ready-to-Drink) beverages without the cloudiness or sedimentation.

Visitors sampled multi-flavored yeast protein beverages that showcased the ingredient's unique clarity and nutrition, alongside high-protein ice cream that delivered creamy textures without dairy and lactose. A selection of gourmet protein-rich foods was also on display, proving that high-performance protein can seamlessly integrate into everyday consumption experiences.

Backed by published scientific studies, the product's efficacy has been rigorously validated. Clinical data highlighted AngeoPro™'s multifaceted health benefits, including support for Muscle & Skeletal Health, Exercise Performance, Intestinal Health, and Weight Management. This robust scientific dossier provides European formulators with the evidence-based validation required for health claims in the stringent EU regulatory environment.

This comprehensive health portfolio positions AngeoPro™ as a versatile solution for sports nutrition, medical foods, and weight management formulations.
