Yeast Beta-Glucan Ingredient

ART-NY-088 is an inactive yeast beta-glucan ingredient produced from yeast cell wall material and refined to concentrate beta-1,3/1,6-glucan. It is not a live culture and is not intended to provide fermentation activity. The product is designed for dry blending, premix manufacture, extrusion systems, and formulated foods where a yeast-derived dietary fiber component is preferred over cereal or fungal-source alternatives.

Typical specification targets include beta-glucan 70-85% on dry basis, moisture not more than 8%, protein not more than 10%, ash not more than 5%, and particle size 95% passing 80 mesh, subject to lot confirmation. Appearance is usually cream to light tan powder with a mild yeast note. For buyers comparing inactive yeast ingredients, see the broader nutritional yeast category or request a current technical data sheet for ART-NY-088.

• Plant-based meat: Suitable for burgers, nuggets, crumbles, sausages, and filled products where formulators need a stable beta-glucan source that can be added through dry premixes with pea protein, soy protein, wheat gluten, methylcellulose, starches, fibers, and seasoning systems.
• Extruded and texturized systems: Can be evaluated in low- and high-moisture extrusion trials. Use level depends on water management, shear history, protein matrix, and final label objectives. Pilot trials should verify texture, hydration rate, cook yield, color, and sensory impact.
• Dry nutrition blends and supplements: Appropriate for sachets, capsules, tablets, powdered drink bases, and vegan wellness-positioned products where a yeast cell wall beta-glucan ingredient is required. Final serving statements should be established by the brand owner based on regional labeling rules.
• Food manufacturing premixes: Works as a concentrated functional fiber component for contract manufacturers producing private-label plant-based foods or nutrition blends. It can be pre-dispersed with carriers such as rice flour, maltodextrin, or plant protein to improve dosing accuracy in automated powder systems.
• Procurement programs: ART-NY-088 is supplied in 10 kg foil-lined sacks for controlled storage and manageable batch staging. For lane planning, pallet configuration, lead time, and a bulk quote on request, provide annual volume, destination port, required documents, and target delivery window.

Store sealed sacks in a cool, dry, odor-free warehouse away from direct sunlight, moisture, steam lines, and volatile aromatic materials. Recommended storage is below 25°C with relative humidity controlled where possible. Keep the inner foil liner closed after opening and use opened material promptly to reduce moisture pickup and caking risk.

Typical shelf life is 24 months from manufacture when stored in original unopened packaging under recommended conditions. The powder should be added slowly into dry blends or dispersed under adequate agitation to avoid localized clumping. In high-water systems, preblending with another dry ingredient can improve distribution. Because beta-glucan may affect viscosity, texture, and bite in plant-based meat matrices, ArtemisYeast recommends bench testing before scale-up.

Each lot can be supplied with a certificate of analysis covering identity, appearance, moisture, beta-glucan content, particle size where specified, and relevant microbiological limits. Typical microbiological controls may include total plate count, yeast and mold, coliforms, and absence testing for specified pathogens, as agreed in the purchase specification.

Manufacturing and supply documentation is managed for B2B ingredient procurement, including specification sheet, allergen statement, non-GMO statement where applicable, vegan suitability statement, food-grade declaration, safety data sheet, and country-of-origin information on request. HACCP, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, or Kosher documentation may be available depending on production site and lot; confirm requirements before ordering through the quality documentation channel.
