Biorigin: Creating yeast that connects nutrition, comfort, and sustainability

With over 20 years of expertise in biotechnology, we combine the versatility of yeast and flavour to make food even tastier. Through solutions of natural and vegan origin, we reaffirm our commitment to sustainability and respect for the environment.

A Biorigin story

For over 20 years, Biorigin has been on a mission to transform how we feed the world. Founded in Brazil and operating globally, the company is dedicated to creating yeasts and derivatives from natural sources to promote the development of more nutritious and healthy foods that meet the demands of vegetarian and healthy diets, such as via reducing sodium, sugar, and fat.

Since its foundation, Biorigin has made an unwavering commitment to sustainability and respect for the environment. Each ingredient produced carries this essence, being of natural origin, free from animal products, and having certifications such as Non-GMO Project Verified, Bonsucro’s, Ecovadis, Kosher, and Halal. For the eighth consecutive year, Biorigin has also been recognised with the Gold Seal in the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program.

At each stage of the production process, from selecting sugarcane supplied by Zilor to the final product, we are dedicated to traceability, sustainability, and quality. This dedication is reflected in using electrical and thermal energy (steam) derived 100% from renewable sources and achieving the minimal carbon footprint of our raw materials.

Biorigin products are aligned with consumer trends and needs

In a scenario where Ultra-Processed Food Products (UPFs) are predominant, Biorigin yeasts offer an alternative that promotes moderation, improves food quality, and supports long-term health.

In addition to enhancing flavour, yeasts enrich products with essential nutrients, improving the nutritional and protein profile. They also offer significant benefits, such as reducing salt, sugar, and fat, making them ideal for vegans and vegetarians.

• 37% of German buyers of meat substitutes agree that they would be more likely to buy a substitute that closely resembles meat¹;
• 31% of UK consumers find protein-rich products made with plant-based proteins more appealing than those made with animal protein¹.

Furthermore, the market increasingly demands products that minimise environmental impact, contributing to a greener and healthier future. Biorigin yeasts are produced using sustainable practices that meet this demand, and help reduce environmental impact.



“It is very gratifying to know that we have ingredients of natural origin, carefully selected to meet the most current trends and market needs. Each of our products offers specific benefits, aligned with the most innovative of the market,” says Regiane Ghirotti, Food Product Manager at Biorigin.

Biorigin offers the food industry the opportunity to improve the consumer experience through solutions of natural and vegan origin. Our yeasts promote versatility and healthiness, and help create and mask flavours. In addition, they provide umami, improve mouthfeel, and help reduce sodium, fat, and sugar, among other benefits.

Find Biorigin at Fi Europe 2024

Biorigin will participate in the 2024 edition of Food Ingredients Europe with the campaign ‘Yeast that Connect: Nutrition, Comfort, and Sustainability’.

Our goal is to create a bridge between the present and the future! With our expertise in biotechnology, we connect yeast and flavour, making food even more delicious. With around 65% protein, and rich in vitamins, yeast enriches products, improving their nutritional profile and benefiting all generations. In addition, we are always committed to minimising environmental impact and contributing to a greener and healthier world.

Sustainability is at the core of our innovation: our products are developed from natural sources. With controlled processes, we ensure superior quality, creating ingredients that make a difference and are trusted by the world's leading food brands. Our products support long-term health by complementing the nutritional value of foods and beverages. And of course, they offer an intense, rich, and umami-filled flavour, while being naturally delicious!



Alexandre Lemos Raszl, Food Application Manager at Biorigin, shared a spoiler of Biorigin’s participation in the fair: “We will be presenting our yeast extracts in applications with sodium reduction, fat reduction, sugar reduction, and increased amounts of protein and essential amino acids. There will also be a focus on promoting sustainability and clean labels without additives, reinforcing the natural origin of our ingredients.”

Visit us at booth 3.1F31! It will be a pleasure to present our ingredients and solutions of natural origin, the result of more than 20 years of expertise in biotechnology.
