Vitamin D-Enriched Nutritional Yeast

ART-NY-084 is produced from inactive yeast biomass with vitamin D2 generated from naturally occurring ergosterol under controlled processing conditions. The ingredient is intended for use where formulators need a vegan-compatible vitamin D input with the carrier benefits of nutritional yeast. Typical specification targets may include vitamin D2 potency by agreement, moisture ≤7.0%, protein 35-50% on dry basis, ash ≤10%, and particle size commonly 40-80 mesh, subject to the final certificate of analysis.

The product is not a live yeast culture and is not intended for leavening or fermentation performance. It is used as a micronutrient-bearing yeast ingredient in dry blends, fortified plant-based foods, savory powders, nutrition bars, and premix systems. Buyers comparing formats within nutritional yeast can request potency, mesh, microbiological limits, allergen statement, and country-specific documentation before committing to commercial volume.

• Vegan and plant-based foods: suitable for dairy-free cheese seasonings, meat alternatives, meal powders, cereals, and fortified snack bases where a non-animal vitamin D2 source is required.
• Supplement and premix manufacturing: used in tablets, capsules, sachets, and dry nutrient blends after validation of dose uniformity, overage strategy, and processing loss.
• Bakery and savory systems: compatible with dry dough mixes, nutritional toppings, soup bases, and yeast-flavored seasonings when heat exposure and label requirements are assessed by the formulator.
• R&D scale-up: appropriate for pilot trials requiring defined vitamin D2 assay, dispersibility checks, flavor impact assessment, and blend homogeneity testing before plant runs.

Store unopened sacks in a cool, dry, odor-free warehouse, ideally below 25°C with relative humidity controlled below 65%. Protect from direct sunlight, moisture ingress, and prolonged exposure to oxygen after opening. Reseal partly used sacks promptly or transfer to a clean, food-grade container with traceable lot identification.

Typical shelf life is 18-24 months from manufacture when stored in original packaging under recommended conditions, subject to the product specification and CoA. Because vitamin D2 potency can be affected by heat, light, and processing severity, R&D teams should validate retention in the finished matrix. For commercial planning or a bulk quote on request, provide annual volume, target potency, destination port, and packaging requirements.

Each lot can be supplied with a certificate of analysis showing agreed analytical items such as vitamin D2 assay, moisture, microbiological limits, sensory profile, and heavy metals where contracted. HACCP-aligned manufacturing controls, traceability records, food-grade declaration, allergen statement, non-animal origin statement, and SDS are available for review. ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, and Kosher documentation may be available on request depending on production site and contracted specification.
