In this episode of the PPTI Podcast, Silvia Soragni, Category Manager for Savory Ingredients at Lallemand Bio-Ingredients, shares her journey from sales to leading global strategy and innovation. She explains how yeast-based proteins stand out as both nutritional and functional ingredients, offering a neutral taste and clean-label appeal compared with many other alternatives.

Silvia highlights their remarkable stability under demanding processing conditions and their complete amino acid profile, which makes them a valuable source of high-quality protein. She also explores a wide range of applications – from hybrid dairy and protein beverages to cheese alternatives and even sweet formulations – demonstrating how yeast proteins can elevate nutrition without compromising taste or texture.

The discussion underscores Lallemand’s broader commitment to leveraging its fermentation and yeast expertise to deliver the next generation of sustainable, functional food solutions.
