Copper Enriched Nutritional Yeast
Copper enriched nutritional yeast is an inactive yeast ingredient in which copper is incorporated into yeast biomass during controlled fermentation. ART-NY-048 is supplied for vegan foods, plant-based blends, nutritional premixes, and dry food manufacturing where a fermentation-derived copper source is required. The product is inquiry-only, with wholesale pricing on request for qualified bulk buyers. Standard packing is a 10 kg foil-lined sack for moisture protection and palletized export handling.

Overview
ART-NY-048 is a copper enriched yeast powder produced from food-grade yeast biomass that is cultivated, mineral-enriched, heat-inactivated, dried, and milled. It is not a leavening yeast and is not specified by live CFU/g; functionality is based on copper assay, yeast solids, dispersion, and compatibility with dry blends. Typical purchasing specifications may include copper assay by ICP method, moisture not more than 8%, protein typically 40–50% on dry basis, light tan to brown powder appearance, and 60–80 mesh particle sizing, with final limits confirmed by order specification.
This ingredient supports vegan and plant-based formulation programs that require copper delivered in a yeast matrix rather than as a simple inorganic salt. It can be used alongside other nutritional yeast ingredients in premix systems, seasonings, cereals, meat alternatives, beverage powders, and food supplement bases. Common copper assay ranges are configured to buyer requirements, often from 2,000 to 10,000 mg Cu/kg, subject to regulatory and formula targets in the destination market.
Applications
- Vegan foods: copper source for plant-based meals, fortified dry blends, savory powders, and nutritional products requiring non-animal origin ingredients.
- Food supplement and premix manufacturing: suitable for dry premixes where mineral homogeneity, batch traceability, and controlled assay are procurement priorities.
- R&D formulation: useful for prototype comparison against mineral salts, with attention to taste, color, dosage, and label positioning.
- Industrial blending: supplied as free-flowing powder for ribbon blending, sachet filling, drum mixing, and bulk dry ingredient handling. For commercial requirements, submit expected annual volume and target assay through request a bulk quote.
Storage and Handling
Store sealed sacks in a cool, dry, odor-free warehouse, ideally below 25°C and below 65% relative humidity. Keep away from water, steam lines, direct sunlight, volatile chemicals, and strong-smelling materials. Once opened, reseal the foil liner or transfer to a clean closed container and use promptly according to site GMP procedures. Typical shelf life is 24 months from manufacture when unopened and stored as recommended, subject to the individual certificate of analysis. Avoid generating airborne dust during charging and blending; use local extraction and standard powder-handling PPE where required by plant policy.
Quality and Documentation
ArtemisYeast supplies ART-NY-048 for B2B procurement with lot-level documentation, including certificate of analysis, specification sheet, allergen statement, non-animal origin statement, and food-grade declaration on request. Microbiological limits commonly cover total plate count, yeast and mold, coliforms, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, and heavy metals, with exact limits agreed before purchase. Manufacturing is managed under HACCP-aligned food safety controls; ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, and Kosher documentation may be available depending on production site and lot.
