Vegan Yeast Peptide Ingredient

ART-NY-030 is an inactive yeast-derived peptide ingredient designed for vegan foods, plant-based meat analogs, dairy-alternative systems, savory seasonings, and nutrition blends. It is produced from food-grade yeast biomass through controlled processing and drying to deliver a peptide-rich powder with clean dispersibility and a characteristic yeast-derived umami profile. Unlike active dry yeast, this material is not intended for leavening or fermentation; it is used as a functional flavor and nutrition component in finished food systems.

Typical specification targets include moisture not more than 6.0%, protein not less than 45% on a dry basis, peptide fraction typically 20-35% depending on lot profile, ash typically 5-10%, and pH of a 5% solution typically 5.0-7.0. Standard physical form is fine beige to light tan powder, with common particle sizing through 60-80 mesh for blending into dry premixes.

• Plant-based meat and seafood analogs: supports savory base notes, broth-like complexity, and nitrogen contribution in soy, pea, wheat, mycoprotein, or mixed protein matrices.
• Vegan sauces, soups, and ready meals: provides yeast-derived peptide character for bouillon profiles, gravy systems, noodle seasonings, and dehydrated meal kits without animal-origin ingredients.
• Dairy-alternative formulations: can be evaluated in cheese-style sauces, spreads, dips, and cultured-flavor systems where rounded savory taste and protein contribution are required.
• Seasoning and snack blends: suitable for dry blending with salt, vegetable powders, spices, hydrolyzed plant proteins, starch carriers, or oil-coated topical seasonings.
• Nutrition powders and meal blends: offers a vegan yeast protein and peptide source for drink powders, sachets, and fortified dry mixes, subject to the buyer’s formulation and label requirements.
• R&D flavor modulation: useful in bench screening where formulators need non-animal umami, mouthfeel support, and low-dose savory enhancement before moving to plant trials.

Store ART-NY-030 in the original sealed 10 kg foil-lined sack in a cool, dry, odor-free warehouse. Recommended storage is below 25°C, away from direct sunlight, steam lines, strong aromas, and high-humidity areas; relative humidity below 65% is preferred for powder flow and shelf stability. Under recommended unopened storage, typical shelf life is 18-24 months from manufacture, subject to final lot documentation.

After opening, reseal the sack promptly or transfer to a clean, food-grade container with moisture control. Use standard dry-ingredient handling practices to minimize dust generation during dumping, weighing, and pneumatic transfer. The product is inactive and should not be substituted for live yeast where a viable cell count or fermentation activity is required. For scale-up, ArtemisYeast can discuss blending sequence, hydration behavior, and compatibility with salt, acids, oils, starches, and plant proteins during the inquiry process.

Each commercial lot can be supplied with a certificate of analysis covering core identity, sensory appearance, moisture, protein, ash, and microbiological limits as agreed in the purchase specification. Typical microbiological controls may include total plate count, yeast and mold, coliforms, and absence testing for relevant foodborne pathogens according to the applicable export and buyer requirements. Heavy metals, allergen statements, non-animal origin statements, and GMO status declarations can be discussed during specification confirmation.

Manufacturing is managed with food-safety controls aligned to HACCP principles. Documentation available on request may include CoA, specification sheet, food-grade declaration, Halal or Kosher documentation where applicable, and site-level food-safety certificates such as ISO 22000 or FSSC 22000 where available for the producing facility. Buyers may review ArtemisYeast quality expectations at quality and documentation before requesting samples or wholesale pricing on request.
