Vitamin D-Enriched Nutritional Yeast

ART-NY-020 is produced from food-grade inactive yeast and enriched with vitamin D2 through controlled conversion of native ergosterol. The ingredient is heat-inactivated, non-leavening, and suitable for formulas where live fermentation activity is not required. Typical specification targets include vitamin D2 potency such as 100,000 IU/g, subject to order specification and CoA confirmation; moisture not more than 6%; protein typically 35-45%; ash typically 5-9%; and a fine powder profile generally passing 60-80 mesh. Final values are lot-tested and should be verified against the sales specification before label development.

The product is designed for manufacturers seeking a vegan-compatible vitamin D2 carrier that also contributes the nutritional yeast matrix of amino acids, peptides, minerals, and characteristic umami notes. It can be evaluated alongside other items in our nutritional yeast category for flavor intensity, particle size, and vitamin assay requirements. Because vitamin D2 is a high-potency micronutrient, ArtemisYeast recommends controlled dosing, pre-blending, and finished-product assay validation in the buyer’s own process.

• Vegan and plant-based foods: Suitable for dairy-free sauces, cheese-style seasonings, savory sprinkles, fortified snack coatings, meat alternatives, and dry meal bases requiring a yeast-origin vitamin D2 ingredient.
• Plant-based meat: Can be dispersed into dry premixes for burgers, nuggets, sausages, and textured protein systems where a savory yeast note and micronutrient fortification are both useful.
• Dietary supplement manufacturing: Appropriate for powder blends, tablets, capsules, sachets, and nutrition mixes when the formulation requires inactive yeast as the vitamin D2 carrier. Buyers should confirm country-specific supplement rules, serving size, and declared potency.
• Bakery and cereal premixes: May be used in dry bakery fortification systems, crackers, cereal toppings, and nutritional blends where inactive yeast flavor is acceptable and heat-processing losses have been validated.
• Contract manufacturing and private label: ART-NY-020 is offered for B2B supply with bulk quote on request, including support for target potency, sack configuration, pallet quantity, and destination documentation.

Store sealed sacks in a cool, dry, odor-free warehouse away from direct sunlight, steam lines, and oxidizing materials. Recommended storage is below 25°C with relative humidity below 65%. Keep the inner foil liner closed after opening and use promptly to limit moisture pickup and vitamin potency drift. Typical shelf life is 18-24 months from manufacture when stored in original unopened packaging, subject to the confirmed lot specification. For best production control, add the powder through a calibrated dry-ingredient system, avoid prolonged high-shear exposure after micro-ingredient blending, and verify homogeneity before compression, encapsulation, extrusion, or thermal processing.

ART-NY-020 is supplied for industrial food and nutrition manufacturing with lot traceability and specification-based release. A certificate of analysis can include vitamin D2 assay, moisture, microbiological limits, heavy metals where specified, sensory description, and packaging information. Manufacturing documentation may include HACCP-aligned controls and food-safety certification documents such as ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, or Kosher where available for the applicable lot and site. Buyers can review documentation expectations through our quality information page before placing a bulk inquiry. All label claims, usage levels, and market approvals remain the responsibility of the finished-product manufacturer.
