Nutritional Yeast for Plant-Based Meat

ART-NY-082 is an inactive nutritional yeast ingredient selected for plant-based meat applications where flavor, nutrition, and dry-blend processability must be controlled. It is heat-inactivated and not intended for dough leavening or alcoholic fermentation. In meat analogue formulations, it can support roasted, brothy, cheesy, and fermented flavor direction while helping reduce dependence on salt-only flavor systems.

Typical specification targets may include protein 45-55% on dry basis, moisture not more than 6.0%, ash 5-9%, and a light yellow to tan powder or fine flake format depending on ordered cut. Common particle profiles include 20-80 mesh for dry seasoning and hydration systems, with customized milling reviewed for larger contract orders.

• Plant-based meat patties and mince: contributes umami impact, mild fermented complexity, and nutritional solids in pea, soy, wheat, mycoprotein, or mixed-protein systems.
• Vegan nuggets, strips, and fillings: suitable for dry premixes, binders, marinades, and seasoning carriers where a clean savory base is required.
• Vegetarian sauces and gravies: supports bouillon-style flavor in shelf-stable or frozen meal components without live yeast activity.
• Snack seasonings: can be blended with salt, acids, vegetable powders, spices, and oil carriers for savory coatings.
• Supplement and nutrition blends: used as a food ingredient where inactive yeast protein and naturally occurring yeast nutrients are specified by the formulator.

ART-NY-082 is packed in a 10 kg foil-lined sack to help protect the product from humidity, oxygen exposure, and odor pickup during distribution. Store unopened product in a cool, dry, clean warehouse, ideally below 25°C and below 65% relative humidity. Keep away from direct sunlight, steam lines, strong aromas, and chemicals. Once opened, reseal the liner promptly or transfer to a closed food-grade container.

Typical shelf life is 18-24 months from manufacture when stored in original sealed packaging under recommended conditions. As an inactive yeast, the product does not require refrigerated transport under normal dry cargo conditions. During processing, add to dry premixes or hydrate into aqueous phases according to the formula sequence; avoid prolonged exposure to high humidity before blending to maintain flowability and flavor consistency.
