Chromium-Enriched Yeast

ART-NY-045 is a chromium-enriched inactive yeast powder produced by cultivating food-grade Saccharomyces cerevisiae in a controlled chromium-containing medium, followed by inactivation, separation, drying, and milling. The resulting ingredient provides chromium in a yeast-bound organic matrix rather than as a simple inorganic salt. It is intended for formulation teams that need trace mineral fortification in vegan foods, plant-based powders, cereal blends, nutrition bars, beverage premixes, and other dry systems where nutritional yeast identity and ingredient familiarity are valued.

Typical specification targets can include chromium assay options such as 1,000–2,000 mg/kg, moisture not more than 7.0%, protein commonly 40–50% on dry basis, total plate count controlled to food-grade limits, and particle size options such as 60–100 mesh depending on lot and milling plan. The product is inactive and is not a leavening yeast. It contributes yeast solids, amino nitrogen, B-vitamin background naturally associated with yeast, and a light tan to beige powder appearance. For related inactive yeast ingredients, buyers can review the nutritional yeast category.

• Vegan and plant-based foods: used as a trace-mineral yeast ingredient in dairy-free powders, meat-alternative seasoning systems, breakfast mixes, and nutrition-oriented dry blends where animal-free sourcing is required.
• Powdered premixes and sachets: suitable for dry blending with proteins, fibers, flavors, sweeteners, cocoa systems, cereal bases, and vitamin-mineral premixes. Low moisture and controlled particle size support dispersion in industrial ribbon blenders and V-blenders.
• Nutrition bars and extruded products: may be incorporated into dry phases before binder addition or extrusion, subject to process validation for color, flavor, and chromium retention under the customer’s heat and shear conditions.
• Supplement and contract manufacturing: applicable for tablets, hard capsules, stick packs, and bulk jars where the customer’s regulatory team has confirmed permitted use level, label terminology, and market-specific requirements.
• R&D and pilot scale: available for evaluation of chromium assay, taste impact, flow behavior, bulk density, and compatibility with flavors or mineral systems before commercial purchase through bulk quote on request.

Store ART-NY-045 in the original sealed 10 kg foil-lined sack in a cool, dry, odor-free warehouse. Recommended storage is below 25 °C with relative humidity below 65%, away from direct sunlight, steam lines, strong aromas, and oxidizing chemicals. Under recommended unopened storage, typical shelf life is 24 months from manufacture, subject to final CoA and regional requirements.

Because chromium-enriched yeast is a fine dry powder, plant handling should control dust generation during tipping, sieving, and blending. Operators should use local exhaust ventilation where appropriate and follow the site’s powder handling procedures. After opening, reseal tightly or transfer to a clean, food-grade lined container and use promptly to limit moisture uptake. The ingredient is not designed for fermentation performance, dough leavening, brewing attenuation, or live culture activity.

ArtemisYeast supplies ART-NY-045 for B2B procurement with lot-level documentation available on request. Typical documents may include certificate of analysis, ingredient specification, allergen statement, non-animal origin statement, GMO status statement where applicable, heavy metals statement, microbiological limits, and food-grade declaration. Chromium assay, moisture, sensory appearance, and microbiological parameters are released according to the agreed purchase specification.

Manufacturing and supplier files are managed under food-safety and traceability expectations aligned with HACCP and ISO-style quality systems. Documentation for HACCP, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, Kosher, or other market requirements can be reviewed as available for the relevant manufacturing site and lot; ArtemisYeast does not recommend assuming a certification without written confirmation for the order. Procurement teams can request current documents through the quality documentation page before approval, tender submission, or first shipment.
