START WITH THE APPLICATION

Start with the material.
Define the outcome.

Protein source, concentration, pH, temperature, target hydrolysis or functional property and intended food or technical use.

01 / HYDROLYSIS

Choose the degree of change.

Compare protease treatments for a defined protein substrate and target hydrolysis level.

Hydrolysis · solubility · sensory quality

Discuss this application →
02 / EXTRACTION

Follow the protein fraction.

Discuss enzyme-assisted release from suitable plant or animal-derived materials, then check the recovered fraction.

Recovery · purity · separation

Discuss this application →
03 / FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES

Measure what matters.

Review controlled treatment against the required solubility, viscosity or functional behaviour.

Solubility · viscosity · functionality

A USEFUL FIRST STEP

Start with a brief.
Build the evidence.

Free samples are available for qualified commercial trials after an application review. Sample selection, quantity, delivery and the trial method are agreed before dispatch.

Plan the next step ↗
  1. Describe your application.

    Protein source, concentration, pH, temperature, target hydrolysis or functional property and intended food or technical use.

  2. Agree the trial conditions.

    Include the material, scale, pH, temperature, contact time and any existing process chemicals.

  3. Define a useful result.

    Choose the comparison, controls and measurements that will guide your next decision.

BEFORE YOU START

The details
that matter.

Can protease treatment change flavour?

It can change the peptide profile. Include sensory quality, including bitterness where relevant, in the trial endpoint.

Is there a universal treatment time?

No. Enzyme activity, protein structure and process conditions vary. Use product-specific guidance and a controlled time-course comparison.

Do you offer food-grade supply?

Grade and documentation must be confirmed for the selected product and intended process. Include your food-use requirements in the enquiry.

Do you offer bulk supply and tailored blends?

Send your application, required quantity, specifications and delivery destination. We will review a suitable supply or development route and provide a quotation.
