Fortified Nutritional Yeast for Vegan Foods

ART-NY-063 is a fortified inactive yeast product based on dried Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It is not a leavening yeast and is not specified for live-cell activity; it is selected for flavor contribution, nutrition panel support, and dry ingredient functionality. Typical targets include moisture ≤6.0%, protein 40-50% on dry basis, ash adjusted according to the mineral premix, and particle formats from fine powder to small flakes. Fortification may include B-group vitamins such as B1, B2, B6, folate, and B12, plus minerals such as zinc or iron, subject to regional labeling and customer specification.

The product is designed for vegan and plant-based manufacturers that require a clean, savory yeast note with controlled micronutrient addition. Compared with unfortified inactive yeast, the fortified matrix requires tighter control of blend uniformity, vitamin overage, and light or oxygen exposure during packing. See related options in nutritional yeast ingredients for flakes, powders, and custom fortification formats.

• Vegan foods: use in cheese-style sauces, dairy-free spreads, plant-based soups, bouillon powders, snack coatings, and savory meal bases where yeast flavor and micronutrient positioning are required.
• Meat alternatives: suitable for dry premixes, extruded protein seasonings, burger systems, and marinades; recommended use level is formulation-dependent, commonly 1-8% in dry blends.
• Supplement and nutrition blends: applicable to vegan shake powders, fortified food powders, tablets, and capsules when compatible with local ingredient labeling rules; micronutrient levels should be verified against the finished serving size.
• Industrial dry blending: compatible with salt, spices, maltodextrin, vegetable powders, hydrolyzed vegetable protein alternatives, and oil-sprayed seasonings. For high-fat systems, validate oxidative stability and flavor carryover during pilot trials.
• Procurement programs: available for recurring container, pallet, or mixed-SKU orders. Submit target nutrient levels, particle size, and destination market through bulk quote on request so the correct specification can be matched.

ART-NY-063 is packed in a 10 kg foil-lined sack to reduce moisture uptake and protect light-sensitive vitamins. Store sealed in a cool, dry warehouse, ideally 5-25°C, away from direct sunlight, steam lines, strong odors, and oxidizing chemicals. Typical shelf life is 18-24 months from manufacture when unopened and stored under recommended conditions, subject to the confirmed specification. After opening, reseal immediately or transfer to a clean, food-grade container with desiccant control where allowed by plant procedures.

For processing, add during dry blending or low-heat stages where practical. Extended high-temperature exposure can reduce certain vitamin levels and may darken yeast solids. Validate dispersion, dust control, allergen program fit, and finished-product nutrient retention during scale-up.

Each commercial lot can be supplied with a certificate of analysis covering identity, sensory status, moisture, microbiological indicators, and agreed fortification markers. Typical microbiological controls include total plate count, yeast and mold, coliforms, E. coli, Salmonella, and Staphylococcus aureus, with limits confirmed on the sales specification. Heavy metals, GMO status, vegan suitability statement, allergen statement, and country-of-origin documents can be provided when requested during onboarding.

Manufacturing and packing documentation may include HACCP-aligned controls and food-safety certification documentation available on request, such as ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, or Kosher where applicable to the selected production site and lot. ArtemisYeast recommends confirming documentation needs before purchase order release through the quality documentation process.
