Clean Label Yeast Extract for Soy Sauce Fermentation

ART-YE-009 is a clean label yeast extract matrix intended for soy sauce fermentation applications and adjacent savoury manufacturing. It provides soluble peptides, amino acids, nucleotides, B-vitamin fractions naturally present in yeast, and mineral ash that can support flavour development and fermentation consistency. The product is not a live yeast; CFU specification is not applicable. Typical physical form is a free-flowing tan to brown powder with characteristic savoury aroma, high water solubility, and rapid dispersion in brine, mash, seasoning slurry, or liquid sauce systems.

Indicative specification targets can include moisture ≤6.0%, protein on dry basis 45-65%, total nitrogen ≥7.5%, amino nitrogen 3.0-5.5%, ash 8-18%, sodium chloride as declared by grade, pH 5.0-7.0 in 5% solution, and ≥95% passing 80 mesh. Natural glutamic acid and yeast-derived nucleotides may contribute rounded umami without requiring the product to be positioned as a standalone flavour enhancer. Final declarations depend on the buyer’s jurisdiction, formula, and label review. For related ingredients, see our savoury yeast extract category.

• Soy sauce fermentation: Used as a yeast-derived nutrient and savoury precursor source in trials for koji, moromi, liquid seasoning, or post-fermentation blending. Typical evaluation levels may start at 0.05-0.50% depending on salt level, process stage, and target flavour profile.
• Clean-label umami systems: Helps build body, continuity, and fermented notes in sauces, marinades, stir-fry bases, dipping sauces, and plant-forward seasoning systems where ingredient simplicity is important.
• Bouillon and soup bases: Contributes roast, broth, soy, and cooked savoury notes while improving perceived depth in dry blends, pastes, and liquid concentrates.
• Snack seasonings: Suitable for seasoning dusts and slurry-applied systems when validated for flow, hygroscopicity, carrier compatibility, and thermal exposure during drying or baking.
• R&D and scale-up: Recommended for bench screening against salt level, water activity, microbial culture performance, heat process, and finished-product sensory targets before commercial approval. Procurement teams can request a bulk quote using SKU ART-YE-009 and the 20 kg sack format.

Supply format is a 20 kg multi-wall sack with inner liner, palletized for export or domestic freight according to order size and route. Store unopened sacks in a clean, dry, odor-free warehouse at 5-25°C with relative humidity below 65%. Keep away from steam lines, washdown zones, direct sunlight, strong aromas, and oxidizing materials. Reseal partial sacks immediately after use and manage opened material under site GMP procedures to limit moisture pickup and caking.

Typical shelf life is 24 months from manufacture when stored in original unopened packaging under recommended conditions. Because yeast extract is hygroscopic, plant teams should validate conveying, sieving, batching accuracy, and dust controls in their own facility. Use first-expired, first-out inventory rotation and retain lot codes for full traceability from receiving through finished batch records.

ART-YE-009 is produced for food manufacturing applications under controlled, HACCP-aligned quality systems. Standard release checks may include appearance, odor, moisture, pH, protein or nitrogen indices, salt or ash, mesh, solubility, microbiological limits, and heavy metals where required by destination market or customer specification. A certificate of analysis can be supplied by lot, and additional specification alignment can be discussed before order confirmation.

Documentation available on request may include product specification, CoA, allergen statement, non-GMO statement where applicable, food-grade declaration, flow chart, safety data sheet, and site-level food-safety documents such as ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, HACCP, Halal, or Kosher evidence where available for the producing facility and product grade.

Wholesale pricing on request is provided after destination, annual volume, packaging, and documentation requirements are confirmed.
