Engineered with high purity standards, delivering consistency and optimal nitrogen delivery for industrial bioprocesses.
In modern bioprocessing and industrial fermentation, the demand for non-animal-derived nitrogen sources is growing at an unprecedented rate. Yeast extract powder, derived from the autolysis of food-grade baker's or brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), has emerged as the cornerstone nutrient media ingredient. Its rich profile of free amino acids, peptides, water-soluble B-complex vitamins, nucleotides, and trace minerals makes it irreplaceable for cultivating fastidious microorganisms, manufacturing biologics, and optimizing precision fermentation routes.
Globally, biomanufacturers are transitioning away from animal peptones due to BSE/TSE risks, regulatory complexities, and the demands of Halal, Kosher, and vegan-compliant supply chains. As a result, yeast extract powder has transitioned from a standard flavor enhancer in food processing to a critical biopharma-grade raw material. China's state-of-the-art bio-manufacturing corridors have positioned the nation as a key global supplier, offering scalability, raw material security, and technological parity with international standards.
Beijing Hongrun Baoshun Technology Co., Ltd. — A National High-Tech Bioprocess Raw Materials Enterprise.
Established in 2008 in the Science and Technology Innovation Area of the China (Beijing) Pilot Free Trade Zone, Beijing Hongrun Baoshun Technology Co., Ltd. has grown into a leading developer, manufacturer, and supplier of fermentation raw materials. Certified as a national "High-tech Enterprise" and a "Zhongguancun High-tech Enterprise," we specialize in high-purity peptones, yeast extracts, and biological culture media components.
In 2018, we expanded our production capabilities by establishing a modern facility in the Qili Industrial Park in Langzhong, Sichuan. Spanning over 40,000 square meters of production space and supported by 20,000 square meters of dedicated warehousing, this facility features separate, dedicated animal-derived and plant-derived production lines to eliminate cross-contamination and guarantee product purity.
How we process yeast extract powder to maintain nutrient integrity, solubility, and batch-to-batch consistency.
We utilize temperature and pH-controlled autolysis. Endogenous enzymes (glucanases, proteases, and nucleases) break down yeast cell structures, releasing organic nitrogen, polypeptides, and B-vitamins without destroying heat-sensitive growth factors.
Using membrane filtration and high-speed industrial centrifuges, we separate insoluble cell walls (beta-glucans and mannan-oligosaccharides) from the soluble fraction. This process yields a yeast extract powder with high clarity and solubility in water.
Our vacuum concentration and low-temperature spray drying preserve the biological activity of the amino acids and vitamins. This step prevents caramelization (Maillard reaction), keeping the powder light in color and free-flowing.
A major challenge in industrial fermentation is batch-to-batch variation in media nutrients. At Hongrun Baoshun, we run high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and amino acid analyzers to standardize nitrogen content:
From biopharmaceuticals to sustainable agriculture, our yeast extract powder forms the nutritional basis of various bioprocesses.
Essential nutrient for formulating standard dehydrated media (LB Broth, YPD) and custom media recipes.
Provides critical growth factors and amino acids for recombinant protein and antibody production.
Supports the production of organic acids, industrial enzymes, biofuels, and bioplastics (PHA/PLA).
Boosts cell density in lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and Bifidobacterium for microecological preparations.
Promotes growth of biocontrol microbes (e.g., Bacillus thuringiensis) used in bio-fertilizers.
As a leading Chinese manufacturer, we align our production lines with global quality standards. We offer custom specifications to meet the needs of diverse biological systems.
We provide animal, plant, and yeast-derived raw materials for different applications.

Every step, from raw yeast procurement to final packaging, is fully documented. Our operations maintain traceability across all batches.
Our yeast extract powder and select plant peptones are MUI Halal compliant, suitable for global Halal-certified products.
Adapting nutrient profiles to match the metabolic needs of your specific cell lines.
Our bioprocess engineers review your target organism's requirements, including specific nitrogen and vitamin needs.
We adjust free amino acid ratios, control salt content, and modify molecular weight profiles to fit your process.
We produce a trial batch to test solubility, color stability, and fermentation performance under pilot conditions.
Once approved, we scale production at our Langzhong plant, ensuring consistent quality across batches.
How Hongrun Baoshun is preparing for the next wave of industrial biotechnology.
The industrial fermentation sector is shifting toward precision nutrition. Rather than using generic yeast extract, biomanufacturers require targeted nutrient fractions designed for specific cells (e.g., CHO, E. coli, yeast, or filamentous fungi). Hongrun Baoshun's R&D center focuses on enzymatic processing to release specific peptides that promote target protein expression.
Additionally, we prioritize environmental sustainability in our manufacturing. Our Sichuan production base utilizes energy recovery systems and modern wastewater treatment, supporting carbon reduction goals across our supply chain.
