“Expansion of Yeast Applications in Nutraceuticals and Bioethanol”
- One prominent trend in the global yeast market is the expansion of yeast applications in nutraceuticals and bioethanol production
- Yeast-derived products, especially nutritional yeast and yeast beta-glucans, are gaining popularity due to their health benefits, including immune system support, gut health improvement, and protein enrichment
- For instance, several food manufacturers are incorporating nutritional yeast into plant-based and fortified food products to cater to the rising demand for vegan, high-protein, and clean-label nutrition solutions
- In the energy sector, yeast-based fermentation is becoming increasingly important for bioethanol production, with governments and energy firms investing in biofuel technologies as part of sustainability initiatives
- This trend is broadening the scope of yeast beyond traditional food and beverage applications, positioning it as a key player in both health-focused and green energy markets, and further stimulating market growth globally
