Description

The history of Marmite yeast extract

(source: “Marmite – You either love it or hate it“)

In 1902, the Marmite Food Company opened a small factory in Burton-on-Trent (UK), where Marmite is still made to this day. Marmite is made from spent brewer’s yeast, but before Louis Pasteur realised that the cells in yeast were, in fact, living plants, people simply discarded this by-product of the brewing process. German scientist Liebig then went on to make yeast into a concentrated food product – one that resembled meat extract but was, in fact, vegetarian.

Following the discovery of vitamins in 1912, yeast was found to be a great source of five important ‘B’ vitamins. As a result, Marmite yeast extract was included in soldiers’ ration packs during World War I. It became a dietary supplement in prisoner-of-war camps in World War II and was sent to British peacekeeping forces in Kosovo to boost morale in 1999.
