Yeast Plants

Dedicated equipment - from feedstock to final product.

Technology for Yeast Production 

Yeast is the name for a variety of naturally growing unicellular fungi. It is most commonly used as a leavening agent in bakery products and for wine and beer fermentation. Since it is highly nutritious and imparts better taste and texture to products, it is also a valuable natural ingredient in the food, nutrient and pharmaceutical industries.

On this page you can find out how yeast is produced and how Vogelbusch can contribute to setting up a yeast plant.

How is yeast made?

Baker’s yeast is produced in custom-designed factories with a substantial number of process equipment.

Yeast is grown on substrates containing sugar through the addition of oxygen from air, then separated, washed and filtered. The product is sold as yeast cream or it is filtered and finished as wet or dry yeast. It can also be further processed to obtain specialities such as yeast autolysates, beta glucan and mannan.
