KM Yeast Technology3F229KM 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
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
Applications
KM 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.
