Lallemand Bio-Ingredients (LBI): Innovating with Yeast for a Sustainable Future

Lallemand Bio-Ingredients (LBI), a division of the privately held Canadian company Lallemand Inc., specializes in the development, production, and marketing of yeast and bacteria. Founded in the late 19th century, Lallemand operates globally, with a presence in 45 countries across five continents.

Our core focus is on supporting customers with savory ingredients, health ingredients, fermentation nutrients, and enzyme solutions for food applications. In 2024, LBI expanded into new sectors such as fragrances and personal care, introducing yeast-derived ingredients produced through precision fermentation.

The LBI Savory Ingredients range addresses the food industry’s growing demand for innovative and wholesome products. Our ambition is to empower food processors with sustainable yeast components that optimize culinary outcomes. Whole cell inactive yeast and derivatives play a pivotal role in creating delicious plant-based meals, contributing to flavor complexity, balanced nutrition, and enhanced product performance.

A prime example is Engevita® HiPRO Beyond, a seamlessly integrated alternative protein solution offering high nutritional value with minimal impact on rheology and sensory characteristics. This makes it an ideal choice for plant-based and high-protein food formulations, supporting the development of innovative and healthy products.

Through innovation and sustainability, LBI continues to lead in delivering fermentation-driven solutions, ensuring that our customers meet the evolving demands of the global market.
