Yops® technology
We are mirroring nature in our labs and fermentation tanks
We are able to produce some of the same aromas that plants, like hops, naturally create. With Yops®, we capture nature’s essence on a tiny molecular level and produce aroma ingredients on an industrial scale. This enables us to deliver sustainable, high-quality aroma solutions for brewers worldwide.
Revolutionary bioscience for beer
As bioscience pioneers, we are dedicated to developing a sustainable flavor source for the future, replicating nature’s brilliance while preserving its precious resources. Our approach redefines natural flavor ingredients for beer, ensuring great taste without environmental compromise.
The fifth element of brewing
Hop flavors made from yeast is the secret behind Yops®
The name “Yops®” combines “yeast” and “hops,” as it represents hop aroma produced from yeast, an innovative technology with dedicated products for the beer industry. Yops® technology empowers brewers to create non-alcoholic beers that not only meet but exceed expectations, delivering extraordinary taste experiences while significantly reducing environmental impact and beer loss. Yeast has always been the unsung hero of brewing, transforming simple sugars into the rich, flavorful beers cherished across cultures and history. But we’ve unlocked even more potential. Non-alcoholic beer is in demand. People want to live healthier lives, but they also seek the premium taste experience that only expert brewers can deliver. Made from yeast, Yops® is the natural 5th ingredient of brewing.
Molecules
Can you craft exceptional non-alcoholic beers?
The microscopic molecules that fascinate our senses through the nose, mouth and throat are called monoterpenes – although they are invisible to the naked eye, they play an essential role in creating the great tastes and aromas of beer. With Yops® bioscience technology, we are reinventing the production of natural flavors to enrich non-alcoholic beers with natural hop tastes and aromas. So yes, now everyone can craft exceptional non-alcoholic beers and enjoy great taste and smell without depleting natural resources. It’s as simple as using our unique flavor ingredients based on the precision fermentation technology, known as Yops®.
Mirroring nature
Premium ingredients by mirroring nature’s flavors
We are re-inventing the production of natural aromatic compounds and eliminating the need for traditional extraction of beer flavors from plants. Our founders set out to produce the same aromatic molecules that plants, like hops, naturally create by replicating these natural processes. And they succeeded. With Yops® for beer, Evodia has developed a ground-breaking approach in beer flavor innovations that replaces the need for harvested aromatic compounds, offering brewers a sustainable and eco-conscious brewing solution.
Sustainability
Without compromising the planet’s precious resources
By applying precision fermentation to produce sustainable beer flavor ingredients that are natural and environmentally friendly, we can truly change the game. Currently, aromatic compounds are typically obtained either from intensive farming or synthesized using petrochemicals, harmful catalysts, and solvents. With Yops® technology, Evodia applies pioneering bioscience to create premium beer flavors that enrich beer with authentic tastes and aromas, while preserving the planet’s resources. And soon, we aim to offer these innovative solutions to even more industries.
Is your beer future proof?
Yops® is a unique, patented precision fermentation technology. A product of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast metabolism rather than a plant, Yops® is future-proof and has an 83% lower environmental impact than hops. Applying the ingredient is easy, as you can add the final product directly into your beer base after centrifuging before bottling. Reach out to our brewers to know more.
A new premium standard
Yops® doesn’t just raise the bar for taste innovation and natural beer flavors, it sets a new standard for sustainable brewing ingredients. Unlike traditional hops, Yops® is resilient to the challenges of climate impact and seasonal harvest variability. With an 83% reduced environmental footprint compared to plant-derived hops, Yops® offers a groundbreaking, eco-friendly solution—ideal for the modern brewer dedicated to environmentally conscious brewing.
