Engineered for high solubility, excellent emulsification, and complete compliance with European food safety directives.
As Europe's undisputed culinary and food-tech epicenter, Berlin is driving the global transition toward plant-based nutrition. The region's consumers, food brands, and institutional kitchens demand clean-label, soy-free, and allergen-friendly functional ingredients.
With local consumer preferences in Germany shifting rapidly away from soy-based proteins—due to environmental, GMO, and allergen concerns—chickpea protein isolate (Cicer arietinum) has emerged as the definitive ingredient of choice. Food innovators in Berlin-Brandenburg require structured, high-solubility chickpea protein powders to formulate next-generation dairy alternatives, meat substitutes, and functional sports beverages.
At Hangzhou Entry Bio Co., Ltd., we understand that supply chain resilience and strict adherence to German food safety protocols (LFGB, IFS, BRCGS) are paramount for German manufacturers. We bridge the gap between advanced Chinese manufacturing scale and local German operational standards.

The food-science and process-engineering journey from field-harvested chickpeas to highly functional macromolecular isolates.
Utilizing mild alkaline extraction (pH 8.5 to 9.2) to selectively solubilize globulin and albumin protein fractions, separating them from insoluble cellulose, lignins, and macro-starches. Our system operates at lower temperatures to preserve the native conformation of amino acids.
Fine-tuning targeted pH precipitation to the exact isoelectric point of Cicer arietinum globulins (pH 4.5). This maximizes protein aggregation and permits clean, chemical-free sedimentation. Subsequent high-speed decanting achieves paste concentrations exceeding 75% dry matter.
Atomizing the concentrated slurry at controlled temperatures to prevent heat-induced denaturation. This critical step preserves essential functional properties such as gelation, water-binding capacity (WBC), oil-binding capacity (OBC), and cold-water dispersibility.
Historically, legumes present a challenge regarding beany and grassy notes caused by lipid oxidation catalyzed by lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes. Hangzhou Entry Bio's engineering team is rolling out a proprietary wet-milling thermal deactivation pipeline. This pipeline inactivates LOX pathways without damaging the protein's native folding state. Our roadmap for the Berlin market includes the commercialization of an ultra-hydrolyzed chickpea peptide with enhanced bioavailability for medical nutrition and specialized geriatric diets by 2026.
Sourced and milled under clean environmental conditions, providing structural foundations for Germany's artisanal and bakery sectors.
Tailoring specific protein behaviors to meet functional targets in different food processing verticals.
For structured meat alternatives (burgers, nuggets, sausages), our high-protein chickpea isolates exhibit strong water-binding (up to 3.5g water/g protein) and oil-binding capacity. When processed via twin-screw extruder systems (High-Moisture Extrusion), they form dense, fibrous protein alignments that match the bite profile of chicken or pork fibers, avoiding the dry, crumbly texture typical of low-grade plant proteins.
The solubility of our chickpea protein isolates at neutral pH (around 6.5–7.0) is remarkably high compared to other legumes. This allows for stable colloidal dispersions, resulting in silky-smooth plant milks, yogurts, and cheeses without a sandy mouthfeel. Chickpea proteins naturally encapsulate lipid droplets, improving freeze-thaw stability and creaminess in industrial ice cream lines.
Our aquafaba powders are specifically formulated to replace egg whites in baking, mayonnaise, and confectionery. The unique balance of soluble fibers, saponins, and heat-coagulable proteins mimics the foam overrun, stability, and structure of traditional egg albumin, allowing developers to create allergen-free cookies, meringues, and bakery items.
Perfect for active nutrition powders, meal replacement mixes, and nutritional bars. Offering a balanced amino acid profile rich in lysine and threonine, our chickpea protein can be blended with rice or hemp proteins to achieve a complete PDCAAS score of 1.0, supplying athletes with a premium post-workout protein source.
Navigating European food safety guidelines, customs clearing, and quality documentation requirements.
Under EU Regulation (EU) 2015/2283, traditional chickpea protein isolate (Cicer arietinum) is classified as a non-novel food ingredient, ensuring smooth registration and bypassing long Novel Food application delays.
Our production facilities maintain certifications under BRCGS, IFS Food, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, Kosher, and USDA/EU Organic. Batch-specific heavy metal and microbiological reports accompany every container.
We leverage multimodal shipping including the China-Europe Railway Express (Yuxinou route) directly terminating at Duisburg or Hamburg, reducing transit times to Berlin to under 18 days, with full customs-clearing agent support.
We provide rapid sample dispatches (1kg - 5kg) for food laboratory testing, complete with Certificate of Analysis (COA) and complete technical specification sheets.

Our standard chickpea protein isolate has a minimum protein purity of 80% on a dry matter basis. This high concentration is achieved via advanced solubilization followed by isoelectric precipitation. It is ideal for active nutrition and dairy alternatives that require high protein density without graininess.
No. Chickpeas (Cicer arietinum) have a documented history of consumption within the European Union prior to May 15, 1997. Therefore, standard protein isolation processes are not subject to EU Novel Food Authorization Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. This speeds up your product development and time-to-market.
We use a specialized wet-extraction method combined with a precise flash-heating cycle. This process denatures lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes responsible for lipid oxidation and raw legume off-notes. The resulting isolate has a neutral flavor and light color, which reduces the need for masking agents in vegan dairy products.
We offer two primary routes: Sea Freight from Ningbo/Shanghai Port to Hamburg (approx. 28-35 days) and the China-Europe Railway Express directly to Duisburg or Berlin terminals (approx. 15-18 days). We provide full customs documentation, including EU Organic Equivalency certificates, GMO declarations, and batch-specific microbiological testing.
No. Our chickpea protein is processed in a dedicated plant line that is completely soy-free, gluten-free, and lupine-free. We verify each batch through ELISA testing to guarantee there is no cross-contamination, helping you meet allergen-free labeling requirements in Germany.
For custom formulation specs, our standard industrial MOQ is 1 metric ton (1,000 kg). For standard inventory formulations, we can accommodate smaller trials down to 500 kg to assist with pilot-scale trials in Germany.
