B-Vitamins Nutritional Yeast for Vegan Foods

ART-NY-042 is an inactive nutritional yeast derived from cultivated Saccharomyces cerevisiae and dried to a stable, non-leavening ingredient. It is used where formulators require a clean-label yeast flavor note, yellow to golden color, and B-vitamin profile without live fermentation activity. Typical specification targets may include moisture not more than 6.0%, protein 40-50% on dry basis, ash 5-8%, and inactive status confirmed by process control. Particle size can be matched to use case, commonly 40-80 mesh powder for dry blending or fine flakes for visible topping and seasoning applications.

The product is positioned for vegan and plant-based food manufacturing, not for dough raising or beverage fermentation. Depending on the contracted grade, B-vitamin parameters can include thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, folate, and cobalamin declarations supported by lot documentation. For adjacent yeast ingredient options, procurement teams can review the nutritional yeast category or request a specification comparison for powder versus flake formats.

• Vegan cheese-style seasonings: Provides savory, nutty, and mildly cheesy notes in powdered toppings, popcorn seasonings, pasta mixes, and dairy-free sauce bases.
• Plant-based meat and ready meals: Adds background umami, protein contribution, and B-complex positioning in textured protein systems, patties, fillings, soups, and frozen meal components.
• Dry nutritional blends: Suitable for sachets, premixes, and fortified food powders where inactive yeast flavor and labeled B-vitamin content are required by formulation teams.
• Bakery and snack systems: Used as a flavor and nutrition ingredient in crackers, extruded snacks, savory biscuits, and yeast-flavored crumbs. It does not replace active dry yeast in leavened dough.
• Food service and private label: Available for bulk repacking, seasoning-house blending, and private-label vegan food programs. To confirm current lead time, packing, and wholesale pricing on request, submit details through request a quote.

Store sealed 10 kg foil-lined sacks in a cool, dry, odor-free warehouse, ideally below 25°C and away from direct sunlight, steam lines, and strong aromatic materials. Keep relative humidity controlled to reduce caking risk after opening. Once opened, reseal promptly or transfer to clean, food-grade containers with tight closure. Under recommended storage conditions, typical shelf life is 18-24 months from production date, subject to the lot certificate and local storage practice.

As a dry powder or flake ingredient, nutritional yeast can generate dust during tipping, conveying, and high-speed blending. Plants should use appropriate dust extraction, grounded equipment where required by site policy, and standard food ingredient PPE. Add the material in the dry phase for uniform dispersion, or pre-slurry it when used in sauces and wet mixes. Heat processing may darken color and change flavor intensity; R&D teams should validate dosage, thermal exposure, and finished-product label declarations in pilot trials.

ArtemisYeast supplies ART-NY-042 for B2B food manufacturing with lot-based documentation. Standard quality files can include certificate of analysis, product specification, allergen statement, non-GMO statement where applicable, vegan suitability declaration, country-of-origin statement, and safety data information for handling. Food-safety documentation such as HACCP-aligned production records, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, or Kosher certificates may be available depending on contracted source and lot; confirm requirements before purchase order placement.

Typical microbiological limits for inactive nutritional yeast may include total plate count not more than 10,000 CFU/g, yeast and mold not more than 100 CFU/g, coliforms not more than 10 CFU/g, and absence of Salmonella in 25 g, with final values governed by the issued CoA. Heavy metals, pesticide screening, and B-vitamin assays can be quoted when required for regulated retail channels.
