Convenient, fast-acting yeast for perfect baking results

DEACTIVATED YEAST

EXPLORE more

What is DEACTIVATED YEAST ?

  • A yeast that has been inactivated by thermal treatment and no longer ferments.
  • Rich in glutathione, a natural compound that relaxes gluten and improves dough handling.
  • Produced through fermentation and controlled heat processing of live yeast.
  • Considered a natural ingredient, not classified as a food additive.

Lesaffre developed deactivated yeasts, or nutritional yeast, as corrective solutions to help overcome rheological issues in flour, producing an extensible dough that stretches better, without tearing.

Characteristics

Enjoy high quality finished products with every bake:

Natural clean-label dough improver with no E-number classification
Acts as a reducing agent due to its high glutathione content
Compatible with a wide variety of baked goods (e.g., pizza, baguette, sandwich bread, tortillas)

How Can You Use DEACTIVATED YEAST ?

Use it to improve dough behavior and quality across a range of bakery products.

Laminated Doughs: Reduces tearing and shrinkage, shortens resting time between folds.

Pizza Dough: Prevents shrinkage, improves roundness and ease of stretching.

Baguettes: Enhances gas expansion, reduces resistance, improves shaping.

Sandwich Bread: Supports consistent pan flow and shape in large dough pieces
