# Minimally Processed Egg Alternatives Revyve Powdered Egg Substitute Uses Spent Brewer's Yeast By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2024-06-25 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revyve References: [greenqueen.hk](https://www.greenqueen.com.hk/revyve-egg-replacer-vegan-subsitute-upcycled-spent-brewers-yeast/) & [revyve.bio](https://revyve.bio/)  At IFT First Expo in Chicago, [Revyve](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revyve-egg-replacer) will debut its latest microbial protein innovation made with upcycled brewer’s yeast (a beer industry by-product) to make an egg replacer to enhance plant-based meat products. While there are many plant-based powders on the market that can be used as egg replacers, Revyve’s use of yeast protein sets it apart. “Plant proteins typically have low functionality, so [plant-based egg replacers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-bridge-1) usually require a mix of ingredients and additives to mimic the functionality. By working with yeast protein, we can achieve this with a single ingredient,” says CEO Cedric Verstraeten. Additionally, because Revyve makes the most of yeast—a widely available co-product—without fermentation, its minimally processed egg replacer offers the functional benefits of microbial and fermented protein.
