Inactive Nutritional Yeast Powder

ART-NY-015 is an inactive nutritional yeast powder produced from food-grade yeast biomass that has been grown, heat-inactivated, dried, and milled for use as a non-leavening ingredient. It is intended for manufacturers that require consistent yeast-derived protein, savory umami notes, and a naturally yeast-associated B-vitamin profile without fermentation activity in the finished process. The product is suitable for vegan, vegetarian, and plant-based positioning where animal-derived ingredients are avoided.

Typical specification targets include moisture not more than 6.0%, protein 45-55% on a dry basis, ash 5-9%, total dietary fiber 18-28%, and beta-glucan content commonly in the 5-8% range depending on lot and analytical method. Standard particle size is commonly controlled around 60-100 mesh for dispersibility in dry premixes; alternative mesh targets may be reviewed for contracted volumes. For related yeast ingredients and format options, see the nutritional yeast category.

• Vegan foods: Adds yeast-derived savory character, color, protein, and label-friendly nutritional value to sauces, spreads, dips, soups, snack seasonings, and cheese-style dry blends.
• Plant-based meat and seafood analogues: Supports base flavor building in extruded protein systems, hydrated textured vegetable protein blends, burger patties, sausages, nuggets, and ready-meal fillings. The fine powder format supports even distribution before hydration, extrusion, or thermal processing.
• Dietary supplement manufacturing: Used in powder blends, sachets, compressed tablets, capsules, and meal replacement systems as a yeast-derived protein and micronutrient carrier. R&D teams should validate flowability, compression behavior, taste profile, and vitamin assay results against their finished-product specification.
• Industrial food blending: Suitable for dry premix plants needing a consistent inactive yeast powder that can be metered with protein powders, starches, hydrocolloids, salt systems, vegetable powders, and natural flavors.

For procurement planning, request a current specification sheet, allergen statement, and bulk quote through the request-quote page, referencing ART-NY-015, target annual volume, destination port, and required documentation.

Store unopened 10 kg foil-lined sacks in a clean, dry, odor-free warehouse at 25°C or below, away from direct sunlight, steam lines, and high-humidity areas. Recommended relative humidity is below 65%. Under recommended storage conditions, typical shelf life is 18-24 months from manufacture; the confirmed retest or best-before date is stated on the lot certificate or packaging label.

After opening, reseal the inner liner promptly and use good dry-ingredient handling practices to limit moisture pickup, caking, and aroma absorption. The powder is inactive and is not specified for leavening performance or live-cell count. It should be screened or metal-detected according to the buyer’s plant controls before addition to high-speed blending, extrusion, or tableting lines.

Each commercial lot is supplied against an agreed product specification and can be supported with a Certificate of Analysis on request. Typical quality checks may include appearance, odor, moisture, protein, ash, particle size, microbiological limits, heavy metals where required by market, and applicable allergen or GMO-status declarations. Food-safety and compliance documents may include HACCP-aligned process information, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, and Kosher documentation where available and applicable to the manufacturing site and lot.

ArtemisYeast can provide documentation packages for supplier approval, import review, and customer audits.
