Industry Needs
Protein peptides have small molecular weights and can be directly absorbed without full digestion, making them suitable for post-operative and post-illness recovery groups with weak digestive systems and insufficient digestive capacity. They quickly replenish the body's nitrogen supply and improve malnutrition. Applications include rehabilitation nutritional solutions, special diets, meal replacement drinks, and medical liquid diet formulas. Current protein peptide production processes use single-enzyme hydrolysis, which suffers from low yield of small molecule peptides, low raw material utilization, and difficulty in balancing the degree of hydrolysis (DH): shallow hydrolysis leads to fewer peptides and poor water solubility, while over-hydrolysis results in a surge in bitterness; large batch-to-batch fluctuations in finished products and failure to meet quality control standards for high-end customers.
Solution Details
Plant protein hydrolytic enzymes are compound enzyme preparations developed based on the characteristics of plant raw materials. They are mainly composed of endonucleases, exonucleases, and flavor enzymes. Hydrolysis of plant proteins is performed under specific temperature and pH conditions, allowing for controllable hydrolysis to obtain the desired protein polypeptides, small protein peptides, and amino acid products, achieving a new level of product yield, taste, and stability.
