Zinc-Enriched Yeast

ART-NY-099 zinc-enriched yeast is produced from cultivated yeast biomass that is inactivated, dried, and milled into a free-flowing powder. Unlike blended mineral premixes, the zinc is associated with the yeast matrix during fermentation, giving formulators a mineral ingredient that fits vegan, plant-based, and clean-label positioning. It is suitable for customers already sourcing from the nutritional yeast category and needing an added zinc specification for fortified foods or powder blends.

Typical specification targets include zinc 4.5–5.5%, moisture not more than 6.0%, protein not less than 35%, ash 10–16%, and particle size of not less than 90% passing 80 mesh, subject to batch confirmation. Because the product is inactive, viable yeast count is not positioned as a performance attribute. A certificate of analysis can report mineral assay, microbiological limits, heavy metals, sensory status, and physical parameters for the shipped lot.

• Vegan and plant-based foods: zinc fortification for meat alternatives, dairy-free powders, nutrition bars, instant cereals, savory blends, and meal-replacement formats where an animal-free mineral source is required.
• Dry beverage and shake mixes: compatible with protein powders, cocoa mixes, oat-based drinks, and powdered drink bases; R&D teams should validate dispersion, flavor impact, and label dosage in the finished matrix.
• Dietary supplement manufacturing: usable in tablets, capsules, sachets, and powder sticks where a yeast-based zinc ingredient is preferred over simple inorganic salts. Final formula claims remain the responsibility of the brand owner and regulatory team.
• Bakery and snack fortification: can be trialed in crackers, extruded snacks, bread premixes, and nutritional toppings. Heat-process validation is recommended to confirm mineral declaration, color, and flavor after processing.
• Contract manufacturing and private label: procurement teams can request a bulk quote for 10 kg foil-lined sacks, pallet quantities, export documents, and recurring supply programs.

Store unopened sacks in a cool, dry, odor-free warehouse, ideally below 25°C and below 60% relative humidity. Keep away from steam lines, direct sunlight, cleaning chemicals, and strong-smelling raw materials. After opening, reseal the inner liner and use promptly to limit moisture uptake and caking. Typical shelf life is 24 months from manufacture when stored in original sealed packaging, subject to the confirmed lot documentation.

For production use, screen or premix into a carrier when uniform micro-dosing is required. Validate addition rate by zinc assay in the finished product, especially in high-fat, high-fiber, or strongly flavored systems.

ArtemisYeast supplies ART-NY-099 for B2B ingredient use with lot-level traceability and specification control. Manufacturing is managed under food-safety and HACCP-aligned controls, with documentation available on request through our quality documentation process. Depending on destination and order requirements, available documents may include certificate of analysis, product specification, allergen statement, vegan suitability statement, non-GMO statement, food-grade declaration, material safety information, and Halal or Kosher documentation where applicable.

Microbiological and contaminant limits are set for dry food ingredients and should be reviewed against the buyer’s local regulatory requirements. ArtemisYeast does not publish public pricing; wholesale pricing on request is provided after confirming destination, pack format, annual volume, documentation needs, and shipping terms.
