ODM Enzymatically Hydrolyzed Proteins Manufacturers & Factory

We employ Size Exclusion High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (SEC-HPLC) calibrated with certified protein and peptide standards (such as cytochrome C, aprotinin, bacitracin, and glycine-glycine-tyrosine-arginine). Every customer COA provides a detailed retention-time chromatogram broken into relative percentage brackets (<500 Da, 500–1,000 Da, 1,000–2,000 Da, >3,000 Da).

Bitterness arises from short peptides with exposed hydrophobic amino acid residues (Leucine, Isoleucine, Phenylalanine). We employ a two-step biocatalysis strategy: initial endopeptidase cleavage to the target degree of hydrolysis (DH), followed by fine-tuned aminopeptidase/carboxypeptidase incubation. This selectively trims terminal hydrophobic residues into free amino acids without disturbing functional peptide cores, eliminating bitterness naturally without masking chemicals.

Upon reaching target hydrolytic endpoints, the reaction broth passes through a continuous high-temperature short-time (HTST) heat exchanger (90°C–95°C for 10–15 minutes) followed by fine ceramic ultrafiltration. This irreversibly denatures and separates all proteases, ensuring complete enzymatic inactivation verified by zero protease residual assays in finished powder releases.

Yes. Cosmetic hair care applications typically require narrow 800–1,500 Da fractions for cuticle penetration and cortex bonding, whereas sports nutrition may specify 1,000–3,000 Da oligopeptides for maximum mucosal PepT1 absorption. Food emulsion stabilizers require lower DH (larger peptide fragments) for amphiphilic oil-water binding. Our R&D team adjusts enzyme blends and ultrafiltration cutoff membranes to match your application.

Standard stocked catalog hydrolysates (such as pea, rice, and wheat protein hydrolysates) carry a minimum order quantity of 25 kg with 3–5 business day dispatch. Custom engineered enzymatic specs (calibrated DH, specialized debittering, custom mesh size, or agglomerated instant versions) require an MOQ of 500 kg to 1,000 kg with an initial batch pilot delivery timeline of 3 to 4 weeks.

Unlike native plant proteins that precipitate near their isoelectric point (pH 4.0–5.0), enzymatic hydrolysis shifts and eliminates isoelectric precipitation by drastically reducing molecular weight and increasing hydrophilic surface terminals. Our clear beverage grade pea and potato hydrolysates dissolve instantly with complete optical clarity and thermal stability across pH 2.5 to 7.5.

Shipments include an authentic batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) specifying assay, SEC-HPLC molecular distribution, loss on drying, ash content, heavy metals (Pb, As, Cd, Hg via ICP-MS), and microbial bioburden. Additionally, we provide full 16-section SDS, technical data sheets (TDS), Non-GMO, Allergen, and Country of Origin declarations.

Standard industrial packing consists of food-grade double polyethylene inner liners enclosed in hermetically sealed moisture-barrier aluminum foil laminate bags, encased in fiberboard drums (25 kg net weight). Under dry, cool (<25°C), unopened storage conditions, our spray-dried enzymatically hydrolyzed peptides provide a validated stability shelf-life of 24 to 36 months.
