Inactive Yeast Beta-Glucan

ART-NY-021 is an inactive yeast beta-glucan ingredient produced from yeast cell wall material and standardized for use in food, plant-based, and supplement applications. The functional fraction is primarily beta-1,3/1,6-glucan, a naturally occurring polysaccharide associated with yeast cell structure. Because the ingredient is inactive and non-viable, it is not intended to ferment dough, produce gas, or contribute live colony-forming activity. It is selected where formulators need a clean-label, vegan-compatible fiber ingredient with stable handling characteristics and neutral to mild sensory impact.

Typical specification targets may include beta-glucan ≥70%, moisture ≤8%, ash ≤8%, protein ≤10%, and particle size through 80 mesh, subject to lot-specific confirmation. The powder is designed for dry blending, premix manufacture, tableting support, capsule filling, sachet blends, nutritional bars, meat analogues, and powdered beverage systems. It can be used alongside proteins, starches, fibers, seasonings, hydrocolloids, and nutritional yeast flakes, with final dosage and label positioning determined by the customer’s formulation, process, and local regulations.

• Vegan and plant-based foods: Adds yeast-derived beta-glucan to meat alternatives, savory nutrition systems, fortified dry mixes, and clean-label prepared foods without introducing animal-origin inputs.
• Plant-based meat: Suitable for dry premixes used with soy, pea, wheat, mycoprotein, starch, oil, flavor systems, and binders. The fine powder disperses best when preblended with other dry ingredients before hydration.
• Dietary supplement manufacturing: Used in capsules, tablets, sachets, stick packs, and powdered blends where formulators require a standardized yeast cell-wall beta-glucan ingredient. ART-NY-021 is not a live yeast probiotic and should be declared according to the finished product category and market.
• Functional food development: Appropriate for bars, beverage powders, cereal blends, soup powders, and nutrition concepts positioned around fiber, yeast-derived ingredients, or everyday wellness support, without making disease-related claims.
• Contract manufacturing and private label: Supplied in 10 kg foil-lined sacks for controlled weighing, batch traceability, and efficient use in pilot, scale-up, and commercial production. To discuss an MOQ, logistics plan, or bulk quote on request, procurement teams can submit the ART-NY-021 SKU with annual volume estimates.

Store ART-NY-021 in the original unopened 10 kg foil-lined sack in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse, away from direct sunlight, moisture, strong odors, and volatile chemicals. Recommended storage is below 25°C with relative humidity controlled where practical. Keep the sack sealed after opening and use clean, dry tools to prevent moisture pickup and cross-contact with allergens or strong flavors handled in the same facility.

Typical shelf life is 24 months from manufacture when stored under recommended conditions, subject to confirmation on the certificate of analysis or product label. The ingredient is a fine dry powder; plant operators should manage dust during charging, blending, and sieving through local exhaust, slow addition, and standard powder-handling practices. For heat-processed foods, beta-glucan is generally stable under normal dry blending and moderate thermal processing, but finished-product trials are recommended to confirm viscosity, mouthfeel, dispersion, and sensory performance.

ArtemisYeast supplies ART-NY-021 for B2B use with lot-level traceability and specification-based release. A certificate of analysis can typically include appearance, odor, moisture, beta-glucan content, ash, protein, particle size, and microbiological indicators such as total plate count, yeast and mold, coliforms, and absence testing for common foodborne pathogens, depending on the agreed specification. Heavy metals, allergen statements, vegan suitability statements, non-irradiation declarations, and country-of-origin documents can be reviewed during quotation.

Manufacturing and supply documentation may include HACCP-aligned controls and food-safety system information such as ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, or Kosher documentation where available for the producing site and requested before order confirmation. ArtemisYeast does not publish public pricing; wholesale pricing on request is provided after confirming destination, quantity, packaging, specification requirements, and document set.
