Daymer partners with revyve to bring yeast-based egg replacement ingredients to the UK and Ireland

In a huge step toward transforming the food industry’s reliance on animal products, Daymer has entered a new partnership with revyve to distribute its innovative yeast-based, animal-free egg replacement ingredients across the UK and Ireland. This collaboration signals an exciting addition to Daymer's 100% animal-free ingredient offerings, which continue to drive forward sustainable and clean-label solutions for food manufacturers and bakers alike.

revyve, a Netherlands-based company located in Wageningen, has become a leader in developing yeast-based ingredients that offer a viable alternative to traditional egg products. Unlike conventional egg replacements, Revyve's products deliver a unique combination of functional proteins and fibers that not only replicate the structure and mouthfeel of eggs but also fulfill clean-label demands and are price-competitive with eggs. By leveraging the power of yeast, revyve has crafted an ingredient that achieves the desired egg-like texture and functionality while reducing the environmental impact associated with animal agriculture.

One of the standout features of revyve’s yeast-based egg replacement is its drastically lower carbon footprint. The production of this alternative generates up to 95% less CO₂ compared to traditional eggs, a figure that underscores revyve’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. As climate concerns grow, both manufacturers and consumers are increasingly aware of the need for food production methods that minimize greenhouse gas emissions. revyve’s egg replacement ingredients align with this trend, offering food producers a way to lower their environmental impact without sacrificing quality or performance.

revyve’s yeast-based ingredients respond directly to the growing demand for clean-label products—foods made without artificial additives, preservatives, or highly processed components. For food manufacturers, clean-label ingredients like revyve’s yeast-based egg replacement offer a distinct advantage. They appeal to a wide demographic of consumers who prioritize transparency in ingredient lists and sustainable sourcing. By including Revyve’s ingredients in their products, manufacturers can respond to these preferences while still delivering familiar textures and flavors.

Beyond clean labeling, revyve’s egg replacement ingredients bring impressive versatility to the table. These functional ingredients can be applied across a broad spectrum of food categories, from plant-based meats and sauces to potato products, baked goods, confectionery, and appetizers. The functional proteins and fibers within the yeast-based ingredient mimic the binding, emulsifying, and leavening properties of eggs, ensuring that products maintain their structure, moisture, and appeal. In baked goods, for instance, they provide the light, fluffy texture consumers expect from egg-based recipes, while in plant-based meats, they contribute to the juiciness and firmness that make these products appealing to flexitarians and vegans alike.

Daymer's partnership with revyve is a strategic step in the company’s mission to expand its animal-free ingredient catalog in the UK and Ireland. Both companies share a vision of making sustainable, plant-based, and yeast-based ingredients more accessible to the mainstream market. By partnering with revyve, Daymer is enabling local food producers to incorporate environmentally friendly, animal-free alternatives into their product offerings, helping them meet both regulatory requirements and consumer expectations for sustainable food options.

"We're thrilled to be working with Revyve to introduce these groundbreaking ingredients to the UK and Irish markets," a spokesperson for Daymer remarked. "Revyve’s yeast-based egg replacement not only meets the functional needs of food manufacturers but also aligns with our commitment to a greener, more sustainable future."

For those interested in exploring Revyve’s yeast-based egg replacements firsthand, Daymer and revyve will be showcasing their offerings at the upcoming Plant Based World Expo in London, UK, on 13-14 November 2024. Visitors to booth C24 will have the opportunity to learn more about these functional, animal-free ingredients, which are paving the way for innovative applications in plant-based and mainstream food products.
