Zinc-Enriched Yeast

ART-NY-100 zinc-enriched yeast is an inactive, food-ingredient yeast powder designed for dry blending, seasoning, extrusion, and premix operations. During fermentation, zinc is associated with yeast biomass rather than added only as a simple mineral salt. The resulting ingredient provides a fermentation-derived zinc source together with typical nutritional yeast components such as yeast protein, peptides, amino acids, B-complex nutrients naturally present in yeast, cell-wall polysaccharides, and savory yeast solids.

Typical procurement specifications may include zinc content agreed by contract, commonly in the range of 5% to 10% as zinc on dry basis, moisture not more than 6%, protein typically 35% to 45%, inactive status with no meaningful viable yeast count, and particle size commonly 80 mesh or finer for uniform dispersion. Sensory profile is light yellow to tan with a mild yeast and cereal note. For related yeast ingredients, see nutritional yeast bulk products, or request a lot-matched technical sheet before validation.

• Plant-based meat systems: used in burger, mince, nugget, sausage, and textured protein formulations where a yeast-derived zinc source and savory background note are desired.
• Vegan dry premixes: suitable for powdered bases, meat-alternative seasoning packs, meal-replacement dry blends, and fortified food systems where non-animal input status must be documented.
• Seasonings and savory blends: compatible with yeast extract, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, spices, salt systems, maltodextrin, and protein isolates used in dry seasoning manufacture.
• R&D formulation work: supports pilot trials requiring controlled zinc contribution, powder flow evaluation, heat-process observation, and finished-product labeling review by the customer’s regulatory team.
• Industrial procurement: supplied as ART-NY-100 in 10 kg foil-lined sacks, suitable for palletized international shipments and inventory control by lot number.

Use level depends on the target zinc declaration, background zinc from other ingredients, processing losses, and local labeling rules. ArtemisYeast can provide specification alignment and a bulk quote on request for commercial volumes, trial lots, or contract supply planning.

Store unopened sacks in a cool, dry, odor-free warehouse, ideally below 25°C and below 65% relative humidity. Keep away from direct sunlight, steam lines, strong oxidizers, and volatile aroma materials. After opening, reseal the foil liner or transfer to a closed food-grade container to limit moisture pickup and caking. Under recommended conditions, typical shelf life is 24 months from manufacture, subject to the actual certificate of analysis and customer receiving inspection.

Because this is an inactive yeast powder, it is not intended for dough leavening or alcoholic fermentation. Plant operators should validate dust control, metal detection, allergen segregation, and batching accuracy in their own process. Add during dry blending when uniform mineral distribution is required; for high-moisture or high-shear systems, pre-dispersion into a carrier or minor-ingredient blend may improve dose uniformity.

ArtemisYeast supplies ART-NY-100 for B2B manufacturing with lot traceability, specification review, and export documentation support. Standard quality documents available on request may include certificate of analysis, specification sheet, food-grade declaration, ingredient statement, non-animal origin statement where applicable, allergen statement, GMO-status statement, heavy metals report, microbiological limits, and safety data information for handling.

Production and packing are managed under food-safety controls aligned with HACCP principles. Documentation for ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, Kosher, or other programs may be available depending on the manufacturing site and lot; buyers should confirm requirements before purchase order release.
