nMDS (non-metric Multidimensional Scaling) & K-Means Clustering Analysis
Group 0 shows statistically elevated levels of [mw pct lt250Da], [mw pct 250 500Da], [general reducing sugar] compared to other groups.
Group 1 shows statistically elevated levels of [taa Hydroxyproline], [mw pct gt1000Da], [taa Glycine] compared to other groups.
Group 2 shows statistically elevated levels of [faa Leucine], [faa Valine], [faa Isoleucine] compared to other groups.
Group 3 shows statistically elevated levels of [faa Glutamic acid], [faa Alanine], [faa Methionine] compared to other groups.
Using Bray-Curtis distance from nMDS analysis, we mapped the most compositionally similar Sempio products to commercial peptones used in recombinant protein production (Himedia, Gibco, etc.). Shorter distance = higher similarity.

Yeast extract has a unique compositional profile (high free amino acids, vitamin B group), so its nMDS distance to plant-based peptones is relatively large. Below are the closest Sempio alternatives.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| NuCel 816 PW | Procelys | RICE-BIO | 0.477 | yeast → rice |
| NuCel 751 MG | Procelys | RICE-BIO | 0.395 | yeast → rice |
| LPS Yeast extract | LPS | RICE-BIO | 0.458 | yeast → rice |
| FNI100 | Lallemand | RICE-BIO | 0.668 | yeast → rice |
| FNI800 | Lallemand | RICE-1 | 0.974 | yeast → rice |
| Gistex LS Ferm | DSM | RICE-BIO | 0.642 | yeast → rice |
YP180 (Angel Yeast) is sourced from yeast but processed via hydrolysis into Peptone form. Unlike typical Yeast Extract, it exhibits peptone characteristics and shows higher similarity to Sempio's plant-based peptones.
| Product | Raw Material | Product Type | Closest Sempio Product | nMDS Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| YP180 | yeast | Peptone | SOY-P | 1.037 |
|
2nd choice: SOY-1 (1.150), SOY-L (1.162) → Yeast-sourced but peptone-processed, closer to Sempio products than typical Yeast Extracts |
