Frozen Dough Baking Yeast

ART-BK-045 is a dry baker’s yeast grade selected for frozen-dough systems where yeast must tolerate mixing stress, blast freezing, frozen holding, thawing, and final proof. It is suitable for centralized dough plants, commissary bakeries, supermarket in-store bakery supply, foodservice dough programs, and high-volume artisan production. For related yeast formats, see the baking yeast category.

Typical specification targets include moisture not more than 5.5%, viable yeast count around 5×10^10 CFU/g, light tan to cream color, and clean baker’s yeast aroma. Protein is typically 40–50% on dry basis. Granulation is designed for direct incorporation into flour blends or sponge systems; common particle sizing is fine free-flowing granules with limited dust for automated dosing. Functional performance is evaluated by dough-rise activity, freeze-thaw tolerance, and proofing stability after frozen storage. Recommended use rate depends on flour strength, sugar level, fat level, freezing profile, storage duration, and proof schedule; bakery trials should confirm the final dosage.

• Frozen unbaked dough: rolls, buns, pizza bases, croissants, sweet dough, and laminated dough requiring reliable post-thaw gas production.
• Centralized bakery manufacturing: stable yeast input for plants supplying stores, cafés, hotels, quick-service restaurants, and foodservice distributors.
• Artisan and chain bakery production: consistent fermentation for dough pieces made in batches and frozen for later bake-off.
• Flour premix and bakery blend operations: dry yeast inclusion in controlled-formula mixes where moisture, activity, and dosing accuracy are procurement priorities.
• R&D formulation: evaluation in lean, enriched, high-sugar, and high-fat formulas where freezing can reduce yeast vitality and extend proofing time.

Store unopened 25 kg sacks in a cool, dry, odor-free warehouse, ideally below 25°C and away from direct sunlight, steam lines, water sources, and strong oxidizing materials. Keep packaging sealed until use because dry yeast absorbs moisture rapidly, which can reduce activity and flowability. Under recommended storage conditions, typical shelf life is up to 24 months from production date, subject to lot-specific CoA confirmation.

For best performance, avoid adding dry yeast directly onto ice, concentrated salt, or high-sugar syrup. Disperse evenly with flour or pre-blend according to plant procedure. In frozen dough, control dough temperature after mixing, shorten floor time before freezing, and use fast core freezing to support yeast survival. Reseal opened sacks tightly and consume promptly.

ART-BK-045 is supplied with lot traceability and procurement documentation on request. Available documents may include certificate of analysis, specification sheet, allergen statement, food-grade declaration, country-of-origin details, safety data sheet where applicable, and microbiological limits. Manufacturing is managed under food-safety and hygiene controls aligned with HACCP principles. Site-specific documentation such as ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, or Kosher certificates can be provided when applicable to the production lot and origin.

ArtemisYeast supports buyers with sample coordination, technical comparison data, pallet planning, and export paperwork review. For incoming quality teams, the practical release checks are appearance, odor, moisture, activity, packaging integrity, and CoA match.
