Lallemand Bio-Ingredients (LBI) is a business unit of Lallemand Inc., a privately-held Canadian company founded at the end of the 19th century, and specializing in research, development, production and marketing of yeasts and bacteria. Today, Lallemand is present through plants, distribution centers or representative offices in over 50 countries.

LBI develops, manufactures and markets high-value yeast products from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Torula yeast, including whole cell nutritional yeast, yeast extracts and yeast derivatives. The LBI business unit was initially formed in 1987 and the first products consisted of those sold for baking, nutritional, food and animal health applications. The product line grew to include mineral and vitamin-rich yeasts and yeast fractions (extracts and cell wall products). 

Yeast is a unicellular fungus that fits well with plant-based solutions, including vegan, vegetarian and flexitarian diets. The LBI portfolio offers a variety of yeast products from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Torula, which can contribute flavour and texture to create delicious plant-based meals. Furthermore, vitamin and mineral yeasts and specific yeast fractions can be used to support daily recommended micronutrient requirements with food fortification.

The LBI business now includes three application areas:

Savory: Lallemand Lyfe® yeast extracts range contains peptides, free amino acids, nucleic acid and other compounds naturally present in yeast, which, just like seasonings, help to improve taste, bring out and balance flavors in food products or support the downmodulation of undesirable off-notes. Among inactive yeasts, Lake States® Torula is a specially grown Torula yeast with a unique flavor profile and water-binding, emulsifying capacity. Our ingredients are suitable for plant-based foods.

Health: M-Gard® yeast beta-glucan has been proven to support the immune system. Lalmin® vitamin and mineral yeasts are inactivated whole cell yeast products containing elevated levels of specific micronutrients. Engevita® is a premium nutritional yeast which can contribute to your recipe or application in many ways for taste, texture and nutritional value. Yesto-Seal® are brewer’s yeast products which are specifically designed for tableting. All are suitable for plant-based applications

Industrial fermentation: Fermentation Nutrients Ingredients (FNI range) have been developed to boost the growth and yield in industrial fermentation. FNI products are mainly primary yeast peptone and autolysates which contain a high level of protein in the form of readily and easily assimilated amino acids and peptides.
