Revyve Introduces “Super Clean” Yeast-Based Egg Replacer for Plant-Based Burgers at IFT First 2024

Dutch food tech company Revyve is set to introduce a new yeast-based egg replacer at IFT First 2024, designed to enhance the texture of plant-based burgers. The ingredient, made with Revyve’s yeast proteins, mimics the functionality of egg whites, providing heat-set gelling, binding, and emulsification for a sensory experience consumers expect in plant-based meat. The company emphasizes that its egg replacer is sustainable, price-competitive, easy to use, and compliant with international regulatory requirements.

Revyve's plant-based ingredient is described as "super clean," minimally processed, and free from stealth starches, emulsifiers, and E-numbers, catering to the rising demand for sustainable and ethical food ingredients. The company's innovative approach utilizes patented technology to create functional proteins and fibers from circularly sourced microbial biomass, such as brewer’s yeast. With investments from major companies and a new production facility on the way, Revyve aims to deliver sensory appeal and authenticity to plant-based products, filling a growing market need for clean-label options.
