Active Dry Yeast for Industrial Baking

ART-BK-001 Active Dry Yeast is a high-activity dried yeast for commercial bakeries and food manufacturers that need predictable fermentation across sponge-and-dough, straight-dough, pizza, flatbread, bun, and roll processes. The yeast is produced as free-flowing beige to light-brown granules designed for rehydration before dosing, helping plants standardize performance in batch mixers, continuous dough systems, and automated ingredient handling. For related bakery ingredients and yeast formats, see baking yeast supply.

Typical technical targets include 92-94% dry matter, 6-8% moisture, viable yeast count around 5×10^10 CFU/g, and strong gassing power under standard bakery fermentation conditions. The profile is intentionally neutral, supporting clean wheat flavor without excessive fermented or savory notes. As an active dry format, it is suited to procurement programs that require longer ambient shelf stability than compressed yeast, lower cold-chain dependency, and consistent inventory rotation for multi-site bakery operations.

• Industrial pan bread and sandwich bread: supports controlled proofing, stable loaf volume, and repeatable crumb structure in high-volume production.
• Pizza bases and flatbread: suitable for dough systems requiring balanced fermentation, extensibility, and neutral aroma during refrigerated or ambient dough management.
• Buns, rolls, and laminated bakery bases: can be incorporated where active dry yeast rehydration is already part of the plant’s standard operating procedure.
• Regional bakery manufacturing: useful for distributors and contract manufacturers supplying 25 kg sacks to commissaries, central bakeries, and foodservice bakery plants.
• R&D and scale-up: provides a stable yeast reference for formula trials, flour-strength comparison, sugar tolerance checks, salt-level validation, and proof-time optimization before production release.

Store unopened sacks in a cool, dry, odor-free warehouse away from direct sunlight, water, steam lines, and strong-smelling materials. Recommended storage is below 25°C with relative humidity controlled to limit moisture pickup. Under suitable conditions, typical shelf life is up to 24 months from production date; the actual date is confirmed on the lot certificate and packaging. After opening, reseal tightly or transfer to a clean, dry, food-grade container and use promptly to preserve activity.

For best performance, rehydrate active dry yeast in clean water before adding it to dough. Many bakeries use water at approximately 35-40°C and allow a short activation period before mixing, but the final method should be validated against plant water quality, flour absorption, mixer energy, sugar level, salt level, and proofing schedule. Avoid direct contact between dry yeast and concentrated salt or improver blends during pre-weighing. For a purchasing review or trial lot, submit pack size, destination port, annual volume, and documentation needs through request a bulk quote.

ArtemisYeast supplies ART-BK-001 as an inquiry-only bulk ingredient for professional bakery manufacturing. Lot-specific documentation can include certificate of analysis, product specification, allergen statement, GMO status statement where applicable, country-of-origin information, safety data sheet, and food-grade declaration. Typical microbiological parameters, heavy metals, moisture, viable count, and sensory appearance are confirmed according to the agreed specification and destination market requirements.

Manufacturing and supply documentation may include HACCP-aligned controls and certification files such as ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, or Kosher where available for the selected production site and shipment. ArtemisYeast does not publish public price lists; wholesale pricing on request is based on order quantity, Incoterms, packaging, lead time, and document requirements. Procurement and QA teams can review our documentation approach at quality and compliance before placing a production order.
