Chromium-Enriched Yeast

ART-NY-047 chromium-enriched yeast is an inactive yeast ingredient designed for dietary supplement and functional nutrition production. During fermentation, chromium is incorporated into the yeast biomass and associated with naturally occurring yeast constituents, creating a source of organic-bound chromium suitable for dry blending and further processing. The term organic chromium refers to the chromium-yeast complex and does not indicate certified organic agricultural status.

Typical specification targets include total chromium of 1,000-2,000 mg/kg, moisture not more than 6.0%, protein not less than 35%, ash not more than 10%, and particle size of 90% passing 80 mesh, with final values confirmed by certificate of analysis for each lot. The product is inactive, non-leavening, vegan-suitable by formulation, and generally compatible with mineral premix systems, nutritional powders, and direct-compression formulations when validated by the customer.

• Dietary supplement capsules and tablets: used as a chromium-containing yeast powder in mineral complexes, multinutrient formulas, and private-label supplement lines where yeast-bound trace minerals are preferred over inorganic salts.
• Powdered supplement blends: suitable for sachets, stick packs, and tubs when blended with proteins, fibers, botanical powders, flavors, or other micronutrient premixes. Flow aids may be added by the formulator if high-speed filling requires tighter powder behavior.
• Vegan and plant-based nutrition: compatible with animal-free formulation targets when the complete formula, capsules, excipients, and processing aids are selected accordingly by the manufacturer.
• R&D and pilot production: available for formulation screening where teams need defined chromium assay, low moisture, neutral-to-yeasty sensory profile, and consistent powder dispersibility.
• Contract manufacturing: appropriate for supplement plants requiring supplier traceability, batch coding, and documentation packs for incoming quality control before blending or tableting.

ART-NY-047 is supplied in a 10 kg foil-lined sack to reduce moisture uptake and protect the powder during transport. Store unopened product in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse, ideally at 15-25 °C and below 60% relative humidity. Keep away from direct sunlight, strong odors, oxidizing chemicals, and wet processing zones. After opening, reseal the inner liner tightly or transfer to a clean, food-grade container and use promptly according to the plant’s internal material control procedure.

Typical shelf life is 24 months from manufacture when stored in original sealed packaging under recommended conditions. Use dust control during weighing and charging. Operators should follow local workplace hygiene rules, including suitable masks or extraction where fine powders are handled at scale. Before commercial production, validate blend uniformity, chromium recovery, tableting pressure, capsule fill performance, and finished-product stability in the target formula.

Each lot is produced for B2B ingredient use with traceable batch records and analytical release testing. Typical quality checks include appearance, odor, moisture, chromium assay, particle size, heavy metals, total plate count, yeast and mold, coliforms, and absence of specified pathogens according to the agreed specification. A certificate of analysis is available on request, and additional documents may include allergen statement, vegan suitability statement, non-GMO statement where applicable, specification sheet, safety data sheet, and food-grade declaration.

Manufacturing and supplier controls are managed under HACCP-aligned procedures. Documentation for ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, or Kosher status can be provided when applicable to the production site and lot. Procurement teams can review our documentation approach at quality and compliance or submit forecast volumes, destination port, packaging needs, and target assay range through request a quote. Wholesale pricing on request only; no public price list is issued.
