Next-Generation Protein Engineering & Beverage Formulation

Unlocking the full potential of plant and dairy proteins through advanced processing technology and structural modification.

Controlled Enzymatic Hydrolysis

By leveraging specific endo- and exo-peptidases, we clip protein chains at precise peptide bonds. This improves solubility across a wider pH range (3.0–7.0) while minimizing bitter hydrophobic peptide generation, allowing for smooth, clean-tasting formulations.

Off-Note Deodorization & Extraction

Using advanced multi-stage vacuum deodorization and wet-milling separation, we selectively isolate and remove volatile organic compounds such as hexanal, which causes the "beany" off-notes typical of raw pea and soybean proteins.

Advanced Thermal Stability (UHT)

Our proteins undergo proprietary mechanical structural modifications to prevent macromolecular polymerization during Ultra-High Temperature (UHT) and High-Temperature Short-Time (HTST) pasteurization processing.

Formulation Engineering for Global Brands

Modern beverage brand success relies heavily on product consistency across various regional water qualities and manufacturing setups. A protein powder that mixes perfectly in a laboratory setting can easily precipitate or gel in a commercial facility. To solve this, Hangzhou Entry Bio Co., Ltd. provides customized technical support.

Our team works closely with global beverage formulators to adjust ionic strength, buffering capacity, and emulsifier ratios. For example, we offer customized solutions for:

  • Plant-Based Dairy Alternatives: Developing clean oat, pea, and mung bean protein bases that mirror the mouthfeel and barista-grade foaming properties of traditional dairy milk.
  • Sports & Performance Nutrition: Maximizing Branch-Chain Amino Acid (BCAA) delivery with whey protein isolates and highly soluble plant blends designed for rapid gastric emptying.
  • Hypoallergenic Formulation: Utilizing clean potato and hemp protein isolates to capture allergen-sensitive markets without compromising protein density.

Formulation Optimization Process

  1. Target Profile & Regulatory Alignment: Define target protein density, regional compliance (EU, FDA, etc.), and clean-label parameters.
  2. Matrix Stabilization: Solve ionic interference from calcium and magnesium salts in water supplies.
  3. Rheology & Mouthfeel Tuning: Stabilize particle sizes to under 10 microns to prevent sediment feeling on the tongue.
  4. UHT Trial Run Simulation: Validate stability under high-temperature pasteurization before commercial production.

Smart Production & Supply Chain Resilience

How Hangzhou Entry Bio Co., Ltd. utilizes automation, mechanical isolation, and digital tracking to guarantee batch consistency and steady global supply.

Fully Automated Spray Drying & Separation

Our production facility integrates advanced horizontal spray dryers and membrane filtration units. By managing moisture levels, particle size distributions, and thermal exposure during drying, we protect the functional properties of protein molecules. This process ensures high solubility and excellent dissolution rates in cold water.

Traceability from Farm to Port

We enforce a strict raw material tracing program. Every batch of yellow peas, oats, or corn gluten is linked to its regional farming origin. Our incoming raw materials undergo testing for heavy metals, pesticide residues, and mycotoxins before entering production.

Advanced Manufacturing Capabilities

Our production facilities utilize modern manufacturing principles to meet high standards of safety, quality, and scale.

  • Automated Cleaning (CIP): Integrated CIP systems minimize risks of batch cross-contamination.
  • Energy Efficient Processing: Advanced heat-recovery loops reduce carbon footprint per metric ton produced.
  • Dedicated Plant-Based Lines: Separate lines for plant protein processing eliminate dairy cross-contact risk for vegan product lines.

This operational control allows Hangzhou Entry Bio Co., Ltd. to maintain stable production capacity even during global supply chain shifts.

Technical Questions & Answers

Answering common functional questions asked by beverage R&D teams and procurement specialists.

How do you guarantee the solubility of plant protein isolates in low-pH beverages?

For low-pH formulations (such as protein-enriched fruit juices or waters), we utilize potato protein isolate or custom-modified whey protein isolates. When using pea or soy protein, we utilize controlled enzymatic hydrolysis. This step cleaves hydrophobic domains and reduces the molecular weight, allowing the protein molecules to remain suspended without precipitating at the isoelectric point.

What methodologies are used to mask the earthy taste of pea and hemp protein?

We use a two-step approach: first, our raw ingredients undergo physical steam-deodorization during wet processing to remove volatile compounds like hexanal. Second, we recommend adding natural chelating agents and plant fats to the beverage matrix. This coats the remaining taste compounds and prevents them from interacting with flavor receptors on the tongue.

What certifications support Hangzhou Entry Bio Co., Ltd.'s exports?

Our facilities are certified under major quality management programs, and we offer Halal, Kosher, Non-GMO Project Verified, and Organic certified options for diverse markets.

Can you provide customized protein blends with specific amino acid profiles?

Yes. We blend plant proteins (such as pea and rice protein) to achieve a complete amino acid profile with a PDCAAS score close to 1.00. This provides a balanced protein profile suitable for sports nutrition and daily nutritional products.
