Inactive Nutritional Yeast Powder

ART-NY-070 is a deactivated nutritional yeast powder produced from food-grade yeast biomass and dried to a stable, free-flowing powder. It is not a leavening yeast and is not intended to ferment dough or wort. In plant-based meat systems, it contributes a rounded savory profile, mild roasted notes, and natural amino acid complexity that can support flavor masking in pea, soy, wheat, mycoprotein, and blended protein bases. For related formats, see our nutritional yeast category.

Typical technical targets may include protein 45-52% on dry basis, moisture not more than 5.0%, ash 5-9%, fat 4-8%, and an 80-120 mesh particle profile, subject to the confirmed lot specification. The ingredient contains yeast cell wall polysaccharides, including beta-glucans and mannans, plus naturally occurring B-complex vitamins. Fortified vitamin profiles, low-salt targets, or finer milling can be evaluated for qualified volume projects.

• Plant-based meat patties, nuggets, mince, and sausages: builds umami depth, improves roasted background notes, and helps balance legume or cereal protein flavor.
• Vegan seasoning systems: used in dry blends, marinades, coatings, bouillons, gravies, and cheese-style flavor bases where an inactive yeast powder is preferred over extract.
• High-protein vegetarian foods: contributes plant-derived protein and B-complex nutrition to snacks, meal components, fillings, and ready-meal bases.
• Supplement and nutrition blends: suitable for manufacturers requiring a fine nutritional yeast powder with batch traceability and documentation review.
• R&D scale-up: ArtemisYeast can align mesh, sensory target, sack format, and delivery schedule before commercial ordering through the bulk quote request process.

Store sealed sacks in a cool, dry, odor-free warehouse, ideally below 25°C and below 65% relative humidity. Avoid direct sunlight, standing water, steam lines, and strong aromatic materials. After opening, reseal or transfer to a clean, food-grade closed container to limit moisture uptake and caking. Typical shelf life is 18-24 months from manufacture when stored in original unopened packaging under recommended conditions. Because this is an inactive yeast powder, it should be dosed as a dry ingredient and dispersed with normal powder-handling controls for dust, sieving, and batch traceability.

Each supply program can be supported with a product specification, certificate of analysis, allergen statement, food-grade declaration, country-of-origin information, and safety data sheet on request. Microbiological limits are set for food-ingredient use, with typical controls for total plate count, yeast and mold, coliforms, Salmonella, and heavy metals according to the agreed specification. HACCP-aligned manufacturing records and ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, or Kosher documentation may be available by production site and lot. Review available documentation through our quality and compliance process before purchase order release.
