About

Company description

KM Yeast Technology is an innovative biotechnology company focused on fermentation-derived proteins and functional ingredients.

Built on a proprietary Kluyveromyces yeast platform, the company integrates biological synthesis, precision fermentation, and downstream processing into a complete technology system.

Our mission is to develop next-generation nutritional solutions that make protein more sustainable, accessible, and scalable.

Technology FoundationKM’s core technology is based on Kluyveromyces yeast, a third-generation industrial yeast strain that combines:

• High production efficiency
• Food-grade safety (GRAS-compatible)
• Scalable fermentation performance

Compared with traditional yeast systems, KM’s platform delivers significantly higher biomass productivity and protein expression efficiency, enabling both cost-effective and large-scale production.

 

Core Product: KM Pro™ Yeast Protein
KM Pro™ Yeast Protein is a next-generation alternative protein to whey protein, produced through advanced fermentation technology.

• Protein content of 75–85%
• PDCAAS of 1.0 with a complete amino acid profile
• High digestibility
• Mild taste and strong functionality

From a nutritional perspective, yeast protein performs comparably to whey protein, while offering improved supply stability and production scalability.


Why Yeast Protein
Yeast protein represents a new category of protein, beyond traditional animal and plant sources:

• Alternative to whey protein
• Non-animal, non-plant origin
• Stable and scalable production via fermentation
• Lower dependency on agricultural and dairy supply chains
• Sustainable and climate-independent

ApplicationsKM Pro™ Yeast Protein can be applied across:

• Ready-to-drink (RTD) protein beverages
• Protein powders and shakes
• Protein bars
• Sports nutrition products
• Functional foods

Platform & Pipeline
Beyond yeast protein, KM is developing a broader portfolio of fermentation-based ingredients, including:

• Yeast beta-glucan
• Probiotic solutions (e.g. lactose-related gut health)

Team & Capability
KM combines:

• Academic leadership (Fudan University research team, with extensive expertise in yeast genetics and fermentation)
• Industrial expertise in fermentation and scale-up
• Commercial experience in global ingredient marketing and distribution

This integrated capability enables rapid transition from research → production → global commercialization.


Our Vision
To become a global leader in Kluyveromyces-based biosynthesis and protein innovation, and to drive the transition toward sustainable protein systems.
